[SOLVED] New WIDGET AREA is not showing up in Dashboard - Appearance - Widgets
 

Added the following in footer content:
<div id="my_new_widget_area" class="bfa_widget_area"> Widgets will go here </div>

I see "Widgets will go here" in the UI

However, this new widget area is not showing up in Dashboard >> Appearance >> Widgets

I've open and closed and reloaded the admin pages many times and rebooted the system.

What am I missing?

I'm running:
* Atahualpa 3.4.6
* WordPress 2.9.2
* PHP 5.2.11

The code you need to enter is The code you have is an example of what the source will look like after a widget area is created. Easy mistake to make. I think I did that when first using Atahualpa.

And I would suggest giving the new area another name in place of the default.

Also, make sure you don't just hit the browser's back button after creating the new widget area, because if you do, you won't see anything new in the widgets area. Reload the widgets page.

Thank you Larry and Paulae... I should smack my forehead.

Problem is Fixed!

The cause of the problem: Me

Excuse: Not enough sleep or coffee or both :)

Feels good helping somebody here, after I've received so much help myself, and will continue to need it!

It seems like the more you learn the more you know how much you don't know
