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] Right sidebar, footer, and small top bar have vanished.

Hello! I use Atahualpa Yesterday the main page for my site (sci-clops.com) suddenly stopped displaying the right hand side, footer, small black bar at the top of the page (with login fields and other things) and majority of the posts I put in throughout the day. In the center, it will display three to four posts (posts are always in the center as I have a left sidebar, center, and on the right side a custom sidebar) now, but no more than that. I had set it to display 10-15 posts all the time. Oddly, if I click on one of the 3-4 posts, a new page appears (as it normally does) and I can see all the settings which I cannot see on the main page. So the problem appears to be isolated to the main, or home page.
I checked in appearance > widgits > custom forum sidebar and all the settings are still there. The custom forum sidebar replaces my right sidebar. My right and left inner sidebars are still empty (as they should be).
I have screenshots of how the main page should look if you'd like me to put those in but I believe if you click the one of the posts, you should see the normal page layout anyway.
I notice there's a caching feature at the top of my page which I never touch. It's options are 1. Purge All 2. Purge This Page 3. Cache Settings. Note that the caching feature also no longer appears at the top of my main page either. Not sure if I should mess with this.
I've read the posts Content No Longer Displayed In Sidebar and also Sidebar Reset After Upgrading to Version 3.7.24. BUT, I may have missed a step. Any ideas would be appreciated.

debugging 101 - when something crazy happens, disable all your plugins and see what changes. If the issue goes away, then activate the plugins back in one or two at a time till you find the conflict.

Deactivated/Activated all plugins, checked page after each one. No good.

After working on this for a while unsuccessfully, I think I can clarify my problem a bit more...

1. The Wordpress admin tool bar which shows at the top of the pages won't appear on the main page only, but will appear on other pages. I checked the code in the Theme Footer.php area and it appears to be there. Here's the code snippet:


<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</div>
<!-- / Full Width Footer -->
<?php } ?>

<?php bfa_incl('html_inserts_body_bottom'); ?>
</body>
</html>

2. In Dashboard > Settings, I have the boxes set to show at least 15 posts with the most recent 10 items. But only a handful are showing. I unchecked, reloaded pages, rechecked the boxes -
no good. Additionally, there's no way to go from the main page to older posts any more.

3. I had a footer inserted at the bottom of the main page with copyright and legal stuff. That's gone now.

4. All the features on the right side of the page have vanished on the main page only - login, forum links, ads, etc. But if you view an individual post (which opens in a new page), all the features are there. Interestingly, the left side features are all fine as the left sidebar is the only currently working sidebar.

I deactivated every plugin and brought them back up one at a time, checking the home page each time. Other pages were fine but the home page remained broken. I even had a few updates for some plugins still hanging out there so I updated them one at a time, deactivated them/activated them and checked the page each time. No good.

I've been researching and reading a LOT of old Juggledad posts as I'm really trying to make an effort to solve this myself. It's only the main page that has all the problems.

Note that I have not updated to Wordpress 4.8 yet as I was concerned that it could be an even bigger mess.

Any other ideas are appreciated!

Export your ATA settings (at a->export/import) and attach them to a reply
