[SOLVED] Lost 3rd column?
I am using Atahualpa version: 3.7.24 for my WordPress blog.
For the most part, I really like the way it’s designed, and the interface to access it. My biggest problem right now is that it’s no longer a 3 column blog layout. Somehow or another, the 3 column (with the log-in option) disappeared and I don’t know how to get it back. Perhaps this theme isn't fully compatible with WP version 4.9.5? |
1) when did you switch to Version 3.7.24
2) Did you have three columns at one point? - if so what have you updated? - try disabling all plugins to see if there is a conflict 3) what is the URL? can you go to ATO->Export/Import export your settings and attach them to a reply |
Thank Jugglehead for responding!
I didn't realize there was a response.... I didn't see an email notification. I'm not sure when I switched to switch to Version 3.7.24 Yes, I absolutely had 3 columns on my blog. I'm not sure when I updated... I blame my webhosting company for pushing automatic updates on WP software. I have 5 plug-ins: Akismet Anti-Spam - Version 4.0.2 Hello Dolly - Version 1.6 (NOT ACTIVE) Jetpack by WordPress.com - Version 4.2.2 WP Super Cache - Version 1.4.8 WPForms Lite - Version 1.4.3 3 of the 4 plug-ins are older versions that could be updated, but I haven't done so yet. Do you recommend disabling or deleting? The website is http://www.louielouie.net/blog/ Here's a cached version from Wayback Machine that had 3 columns https://web.archive.org/web/20171127...ouie.net/blog/ |
degugging 101 - disable ALL plugins and see if that fixes it. If it does, turn them on one (or two) at a time to find the culprit.
If that has no effect: go to ATO-> - Style & edit HEADER AREA - Style & edit CENTER COLUMN - Style & edit FOOTER AREA and hit the green SAVE button for each one, then go to dashboard->appearances->widgets and look at the 'right' widget area and see if your widgets are there. If they are not, they are in the 'inactive widgets section. If the widgets are in the right widget area, go to ATO->Export/Import - export your settings and attach them to a reply |

I disabled all the plugins, and it didn't make a difference.
I took at look at ATO-> HEADER AREA +CENTER COLUMN + FOOTER AREA but didn't see anything that seemed like any obvious problems. I'm enclosing the ATO settings export as an attachment. I also created PDF summaries of the "ATO-> HEADER AREA +CENTER COLUMN + FOOTER AREA" menu, which I could also send as a ZIP file. |
Unfortunately I wasn't able to send the PDF summaries as they were too large to be sent as attachments on this forum

1) there is an issue with your settings (this is an old issue) which I fixed in your settings.
- Download the attached file - open it in a TEXT editor - copy the contents - go to ATO->Export/Import->Import Atahualpa settings file - paste the settings and press the 'Import Settings' button - go look to see if it is fixed. I do not think this is your issue, but it needs to be fixed 2) did you check to see if the widgets were in the widget area and not the 'inactive' widget area? Quote:

OK, I'm bacK....
I followed the suggestions and imported the recommended data. When I tried to fix/ re-add the widgets to the right sidebar, I saw this message.. "Your theme has 3 other widget areas, but this particular page doesn’t display them. You can navigate to other pages on your site while using the Customizer to view and edit the widgets displayed on those pages." LEFT SIDEBAR was the only active area for widgets. |

Actually, it looks like the widgits the right sidebar should be active, but they are not.

Here's the menu option that mentioned only one location for widgets.

if you send me an admin ID/PW I'll take a look.

The issue here was that the footer.php file was missing (timed out upgrade??) Once the file was replaced in the theme folder the sidebar has returned.
