[SOLVED] Simple Text Widget Fails

Alvin · #1 Nov 22, 2011, 06:45 PM

I'm using the 3.7.1 and want to display a banner ad in the left side bar.
Javascript didn't work and html code didn't work. It seems to be there in the sidebar because the other widget shifted down.

How can I get ads to display in the sidebar widget?

You may have to use an "advanced" text widget such as Linkable Title Html and Php Widget.

Okay thanks, I will give it a try

Alright I tried that and two other advanced text widgets besides (Advanced Text Widget and Black Studio TinyMCE) and the most I could get to display is the clickable title with the Linkable Title Html and PHP widget. None of the content in the body will show.

I noticed that when I tried the Black Studio TinyMCE widget that when I saved the code in html version it was there. But when I switched to visual the banner flashed for one second then vanished.

I'm pretty convinced the theme is preventing the sidebar widgets from showing content.

temporally switch to twenty-eleven and see if you can get the widget to work. this will tell if it is a theme issue or not
