I updated BlogTactics.com to the latest version of wordpress (WP 2.8.1) a couple of days ago and all of my sidebar text widgets just disappeared!
It’s taken me a little while to work out how to put them back, as it appears there’s no option for adding the old style text widgets in WP 2.8.1., so I’ve made a quick video to show you how I managed to get my text widgets put back in to my blog sidebars so you can do the same if you need to.
The video is only 7 mins long, so it’s not a biggy, and you can find the text widgets plugins on the Top WordPress Plugins Page
For the last month or so (if not longer) my Feedburner RSS Feed for this blog hasn’t been working correctly, and whatever I tried I couldn’t work out why…
I’ve tried switching different plugins on and off, even turning all of them off.
I also had my themes coder check the code for this theme over with a “fine tooth comb”, and even tried restiing the theme to the default one for a short while.
none of which worked!
Then yesterday a friend of mine suggesting I should go back and check the simplest of things, like whether I’d entered the original feed url in to my FeedBurner account properly, I guess he knows how bad my typing can be at times… lol!
Well, he was right, which goes to show you should always check the simplest and basic stuff first!
it turned out I had included the “www.” in the url for the original RSS feed in FeedBurner, the moment I removed that the problem was solved, at last!
