Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

[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
HTML Code:
<?php bfa_widget_area('name=My new widget area'); ?>
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.

Wordpress 3.4.1, Atahualpa 3.7.7
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.

**High-five with Larry**

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
