[SOLVED] Custom widget ares don't show up except on main page
 
I have a custom widget area underneath the header image with my navigation menu. It shows up fine on the front page, but when showing post pages, pages, anything else, it doesn't appear.

Is this a known issue with a fix? Should I try an older version of the theme?

http://artrez.com/blog/ is the URL.

Thanks in advance.

How did you define it?
What is the code

inkdork Jul 30, 2011 04:11 AM

The header widget is defined as thus-

<?php bfa_widget_area('name=Header Widget'); ?>

The complete code entered into the configure header area is this-

%image <?php bfa_widget_area('name=Header Widget'); ?>

as explained in the adding custom widget areas page of the settings.

1) It looks like you don't have the 3.6.7 PATCHES applied Here are the links.
  • PATCH 367-01: Odd effects when 'CSS: Compress' = 'Yes'
  • PATCH 367-02 is incorporated in PATCH 367-04
  • PATCH 367-03: PHP errors when adding widget areas in index.php
  • PATCH 367-04: Hovering over a Post/Page title only shows "Permanent Link to"
  • PATCH 367-05: Site Title appended after the 'WordPress SEO by Yoast' title
2) your images use the syntax '<img src="wp-content/themes/atahualpa...' try using '<img src="/wp-content/themes/atahualpa...' or fully qualifying the path

I installed the patches but there's no change.

I also tried adding the slash before the image location as instructed, but they just disappear completely then. Same thing happens when I use the full URL to the images.

I'm going to try deleting the custom widget area and re-creating it to see if it makes any difference.

juggledad Jul 30, 2011 06:09 AM

your images still don't have teh extra slash or full qualification
HTML Code:

<img src="wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/menu-about.png" />
with out this, when you move of the main page the path to the image will be invalid which is why it doesn't show up.

As I posted above, when I put in the extra slash or the full URL, none of them appeared anywhere. Not even on the front page of the blog.

inkdork Jul 30, 2011 06:14 AM

I added the slash but as you can see, they have completely disappeared.

inkdork Jul 30, 2011 06:19 AM

Okay, apparently I am having a blonde moment here with my typing. Fixed! Entering the CORRECT complete URL works wonders!

Thanks for dealing with me, I greatly appreciate the help you have given me on this forum on numerous occasions. Wish I could donate more then my $5.

Hopefully in the near future I will be purchasing theme frame.
