Impossible to add a widget to the sidebar
Hi,
Our server went recently to crash, and I am now reparing our site www.voilesdantan.org.
My problem is that I cannot add any new widgets (meta or minimeta, wp PHP, ...) to the sidebar : when I move them there they are not activated, and they disappear when I refresh the page.
I connot find out what is blocking the insertion of widgets.
Note that I have access to the existing widgets (search, events-calendar, nextgen, google weather...)
Hope that someone has an idea ? Thanks for help.
Manu

What happens if you switch to the default theme, can you add widgets then?

I once had an events calendar plugin that was conflicting with WP's widget administration. Try deactivating that one and try the widget placement again.

Thank you for this prompt and efficient answer.
After desactivation events calendar everything went OK again.
I installed calendar from Kieran O'Shea, had to use the "development version" and I am not enterely satisfeid : the plugin caudes a change of the dashboard layout, and the appearance of the events in the widget is not very nice when hoover.
Maybe could you recommand another calendar plugin, similar as events calendar, but more compatible with WP 2.8.3 and Atahualpa 2.3.2 ?
Thanks in advance for advice

if you are really on Atahualpa 2.3.2, I suggest you do some upgrading , both of Atahualpa and WP
Wordpress 2.9.2 has been stable for me and I'd get Atahualpa to 3.4.6

I'm glad that helped you, Manu-Pierre. However, I agree with Juggledad: you should upgrade both Wordpress and Atahualpa. I'm using Kieran O'Shea's calendar successfully on several sites, and it does not interfere with the dashboard at all.

I would recommend that you upgrade to Wordpress 2.9.2, then upgrade Atahualpa to version 3.4.6.
First, you should do a database backup, of course. If you don't already have it, the WP-DB Manager plugin makes this pretty easy.
Go to wordpress.org to read up on how to do a Wordpress upgrade.
Once that is done, you should disable all your plugins before installing the new Atahualpa. Then activate the plugins one by one, checking the site as you go for problems. Many of the old plugins you were using may no longer work, but there are usually new plugins or updates that will do the same job.
By the way, I love seeing your beautiful bateaux and the beautiful lac! I'll attach a photo of my little Herreshoff 12 1/2 on Menemsha Pond, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, USA. http://skilovers.com/seamist.jpg

Thanks Paulae,
You little Herreshoff 12 1/2 is superbe ! what's her name ?
By the way, should I go back to the standard WP theme (desactivating Atahualpa) before updating WP ?

The boat is called Sea Mist. She really is beautiful, and yar.
You don't need to disable the theme in order to upgrade Wordpress.
