Lost Right Sidebar
 
My right sidebar is gone, and I can't seem to identify anything that's changed to account for this. Running through some of the usual suspects:

* It doesn't seem to be a browser problem. The sidebar is missing in Firefox, Safari, and according to a friend of mine, IE.

* It doesn't seem to be an obvious configuration issue. I have all the display sidebar options checked in theme options.

* It's not that I removed the widgets from the configuration page. I use the right sidebar for my links lists. I've tried removing and resetting them, to no avail.

* If I look at the rendered page source, there isn't even a right sidebar defined.

The site is http://www.carlessinchicago.com/. And and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Perhaps an issue between right sidebar and right inner sidebar. In 3.4.2 the order in which the sidebars are registered was changed. You may have your widgets in another sidebar than you think they are. Try looking into seemingly unused sidebars and remove the widgets from there if any, then add them to the "Right Sidebar" again.

Thanks for the tip. I actually was having the problem with a 3.2 installation, so today I upgraded to 3.4.2 which seems to have taken care of the matter. I'm still puzzled by what happened though.

I am also having a problem with the Right Sidebar! No problems at all with the Left Sidebar, where I can add and remove widgets, without a problem. However, when I add widgets to my Right Sidebar on my admin widgets area, it seems fine but when I check my website, no changes at all. If I move the widgets from the Right Sidebar to the Left Sidebar all works, but i have no clue why there are problems with the Right Sidebar... and the most curious thing is that I even tried to remove my exist form on the Right Sidebar but it still appears there when I check the website... really strange behaviour, which is not the first time I observe...

here's my website link: http://www.redorange.org.uk

It shows there a form, when i have it removed from my widgets area and added other widgets which do not appear!!!

Help please!!!!

What version of WP, Atahualpa and PHP?
What browser are you using? Have you tried with another browser?

Worpress 2.8.4, Atahualpa 3.4.2 and PHP 5.2.6. I tested in on Firefox 3.5.2, Safari 4.0.3 and Opera 9.50, always same negative results.

see the PM I sent

Followup, the cause of aredorange issue was that he had edited footer.php and the edits were causing the problem. Restoring the original footer.php cleared up his problem

Thanks a lot to Juggledad for solving my problem, much appreciated and much worth the donation. All is working fine now.
