Sidebar Peek-a-boo

Post by eshrink »

I have left and right sidebar plug-ins.

All has worked flawlessly.

I decided to look through currently available sidebar plug-ins, found one (top movies) that looked interesting and clicked for it to install.

Not only did it not install but suddenly my right sidebar plugins do not appear when you Exit to Blog.

So I changed styles and then the ability to change styles disappeared in the admin area. Clicking on manage styles no longer brings up styles.

How do I recover the functionality?

Thank you,

Hi!

Do you know which plugin exactly that was you installed? I can'T remember a plugin called "top movies"?

Seems you also switched to a template that might be broken - you can try to recover from that by either removing the template directory you are currently using (Back it up first), or try to use a tool like phpMYAdmin to checkout your serendipity_config DB table, search for the "theme" variable and set it to "default"?

Garvin:

Thank you. I was able to edit it back to default and got back the left side bar.

The right sidebar is still missing.

I went back to (your) "contest" template (which is what I had been using all along) and still do not have the right sidebar.

Any thoughts on how I get it to reappear?

Thank you once again.

Hi!

Could you tell us your URL? And if you go to configure the sidebar plugins, are there plugins listed for the right side?

Best regards
