displaying additional widgets in the center column

I started this again because I had to give up. I was able to create a new widget and call it too the front page only ... but I saw no way to locate it on the page. I wanted it below the text on the page but could only get the top. I also had to call a widget number greater than 3 since that seems to be used by the system

The ideas was to insert a widget that show snippets of different page info, possibly with a thumbnail foto. Someone that posts here has a similar plugin but I can't find it

What release of Atahualpa and WP?
What i s the url?
did you put it in 'The LOOP' below

HTML Code:

<?php bfa_post_bodycopy('<div class="post-bodycopy clearfix">','</div>'); ?>

wp 2.85 and Atahualpa 3.4.3

But it's not on the page because of location and was just a test/text widget. Still need to find a widget I had in mind.

Not sure where I put it now but tried a number of places in index.php

did you run thru the steps in http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=3938

If you add

HTML Code:

<?php bfa_widget_area('name=center widget area'); ?>

in 'The LOOP' right after

HTML Code:

<?php bfa_post_bodycopy('<div class="post-bodycopy clearfix">','</div>'); ?>

then go to the widgets, you should see a new widget area 'center widget area'.

Put a text widget there and put some text there. you should see it after each posts text data, before the post foter. On a page, it should be after the pages test befor the page footer.

If you only want it on a page, youcould use a IF to control it like

HTML Code:

<?php if (is_front_page()) {bfa_widget_area('name=center widget area'); } ?>

There's no bodycopy line anywhere

<?php bfa_post_bodycopy('<div class="post-bodycopy clearfix">','</div>'); ?>

I've created two center widgets .... one with the Flinn style and one with your style.
They both work fine in Firefox ... and neither work in IE

This applies to version 3.4.x

Are you saying that if you go to ATO->Style & edit CENTER COLUMN->The LOOP, you don't see the line

HTML Code:

<?php bfa_post_bodycopy('<div class="post-bodycopy clearfix">','</div>'); ?>

If you don't then you must have changed something here.

I've only been looking at code. Inserted in ATO and again it works fine in Firefox ... and I have three of them in IE

cleaned the cache

Had to re-boot to clear the mind of IE ... what a pain it is

Pretty much got it all but can't find a Plugin to show excerpts of pages without giving error message or just not working at all
