I can't seem to get the positioning to work at the moment, so I have put it in the footer for now. What code would I use in the MackOne header.php to have the widget appear in the exact same position as the date is currently? When I replaced the date code, it put the widget floating halfway down the page...

I wondered if there was a simple way to add a single widget to the themes header in place of the date script? Is this possible? If so, would you be willing to point me in the right direction as to how to go about it? I am using an Ajax page loader to keep the header from refreshing and I have a fantastic Flash MP3 widget that I would like to put on there so that navigating around the site doesn't stop the music from playing (if the user has decided to play some). I am quite new to modifying Wordpress and have never done my own theme before..but I think you are defining a 3rd sidebar in functions.php that isn't displayed...but I can't figure out how to get this put into the header. I would be very greatful for any help you would be willing to provide.

Can't seem to do this with this theme, dragging in my new widget makes the default widget disappear from the page. Any direction on how I might keep the default widget too? <a href="http://coachflakes.com" rel="nofollow">http://coachflakes.com</a> kind regards, Philip milo on "Widget Problem in "Ice" WP theme" http://forum.milo317.com/topic/widget-problem-in-ice-wp-theme#post-694 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:32:13 +0000 milo 694@http://forum.milo317.com/ Apparently the functions file adds another ul in front of the widget area, to solve this you have two ways: either via CSS or via functions file. CSS, add this to your stylesheet at very bottom: #sidebar ul{list-style:none;margin:5px 0;padding:0;border:0;} #sidebar li{margin:0;padding:3px 0;background:url(images/cat.gif) no-repeat right center;} #sidebar li a,#sidebar li a:visited{color:#333;text-decoration:none;} #sidebar li a:hover{color:#ccc;text-decoration:none;} #sidebar ul ul{list-style:none;margin:5px 0;padding:0;border:0;} functions.php file look for this line in the functions file: if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') ) register_sidebars(2, array( 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</ul ></div>', 'before_title' => '<h2>', 'after_title' => '</h2><ul >', and replace it with this if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') ) register_sidebars(2, array( 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</div>', 'before_title' => '<h2>', 'after_title' => '</h2>', however it's better to start with the CSS method. bcripps on "Widget Problem in "Ice" WP theme" http://forum.milo317.com/topic/widget-problem-in-ice-wp-theme#post-693 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:46:12 +0000 bcripps 693@http://forum.milo317.com/ Hello Milo. I love your themes! I am using the "ice" theme for our site, but am having problems when I add a widget to the sidebar. If you go to the site, <a href="http://www.thecripps.net/ben," rel="nofollow">http://www.thecripps.net/ben,</a> you will see that in all of the widgets I've added, the items are indented. The original widgets (Archives, Blogroll) didn't have this problem - only when I add a widget. I've tried tweeking different lines of the style.css, but haven't found the trick yet. Can you help me? I don't want the items indented nearly so much.

I noticed that your theme doesn't have a sidebar.php file, so I couldn't figure which sidebar was which, to rename them. milo on "Is Artfull widgetized?" http://forum.milo317.com/topic/is-artfull-widgetized#post-373 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:08:23 +0000 milo 373@http://forum.milo317.com/ <a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/38186880/f417d7f9/artfull.html">Updated ArtFull</a> version for download.

Artfull update version with fixed bugs releasing today (later today). qlister on "Is Artfull widgetized?" http://forum.milo317.com/topic/is-artfull-widgetized#post-366 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 09:59:34 +0000 qlister 366@http://forum.milo317.com/ so which means I don't have to download UTW and it will still work by default? Also, I'm really confused about the availability of the 6 sidebars, although I've added widgets to some of the sidebars, none of the widgets appear milo on "Is Artfull widgetized?" http://forum.milo317.com/topic/is-artfull-widgetized#post-357 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:11:44 +0000 milo 357@http://forum.milo317.com/ UTW is out of date, if you import it into the WP tag base, then it will be stored in the sql. Artfull is not fully widgetized, only the single post/page sidebars are widgetized.
