[Solved] Activating Widgets in Custom Theme

[maro]

I just created my website http://www.photodelphia.org/lightupandlisten via all the wonderful info here. THANKS CHRIS

however… I’m simply trying to put Flickr thumbs on my sidebar. I ‘ve come across several flickr widgets, however, even though my custom theme says widgets are allowed…. when I activate the flickr widget, or any widget for that matter, it does not work / show up.

any solutions? thanks in advance

Well, I was able to manually insert code into the sidebar with the help of a plugin. The flickr is now working on my site. However, I was and am still unable to activate widgets into the sidebar via the WP admin.

What can do to troubleshoot this?

It sounds like your theme isn’t "widget-ready". Check out this link:

It wasn’t.

thanks for the link! I actually found the code in the diggin for wordpress pdf I just bought. That thing is a sweet resource already.
