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

Adding more than one custom widget area to the center column

I have one widget area in the center column above the main part of the page an right below the header area.It works fine and its called 'nav'. I want to add another in the main page area somewhere below some text. (This is a regular page, not post). 1), I am not sure where to add the code in the loop area and 2). When I add another area with a different name, say 'concert' it renames existing 'nav' to 'concert' in my widgets area so that I only show one widget area. Even worse, when I delete the code for 'concert', 'nav(that is now called 'concert' for some reason) disappears from the page. I have to either rename it to 'concert' in the code or its gone.. Weird... here is my page http://www.the80schild.com

what version of Atahualpa are you using. There is a bug in the early versions that got the new widget area (see http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...ghlight=bugfix)

I have an older version 3.4.1. I had some code changes to customize the header and Pagebar. How can I upgrade and still keep my code changes? I dont know alot about php, it took about a week to get those changes to work

Any changes to the base theme code you will have to re-do. This is why I recommend people not change the code. Any options you have set will not be lost because they are in the database.

You will need to refer to your documentation of the changes you made. You can compare the modules, but don't be suprised that from one release to another things change, stuff is moved, new modules are creates, old code is wiped out. It could happen.

Try doing a compare of the new module to the one you changed. Good luck.

Okay, I updated and its all good, I want to style the center page widget. I try using any of these div or class in the css inserts but the widget is always the default style. Its not a text widget but a recently updated pages widget. so I don't know if this is possible, I just don't like the way it looks I don't want the sidebar ones to change just the new widget area
Here is the source code:
<div id="my_updated_concerts" class="bfa_widget_area"><div id="recently_updated_pages-5" class="widget Recently_Updated_Pages">

Here is the source code:
<div id="my_updated_concerts" class="bfa_widget_area"><div id="recently_updated_pages-5" class="widget Recently_Updated_Pages">
I actually used a div#my_updated_concerts to edit the style but now each page is shown in the widget as:
<ul><li class='page_item page-item-194'><a href='http://www.example.com...'>Heart Concert Tour</a> on Sun - February 28, 2010</li>
<li class='page_item page-item-196'><a href='http://www.example.com/..'>Journey Concert Tour</a> on Sun - February 28, 2010</li>
Is there a way to apply css to these? Maybe globally instead of each page # 194,196 etc? Im just trying to make this list more readable. It has massive pages in a list and just gets difficult to read.
