    Hi,

    I have two widget areas that I added to this site: http://www.ijustmetu.com. One is after the header, and one is in the header, on the right. For some reason the content is not showing up in these areas. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi!

    I see the following code in the page source:

    <!--?php dynamic_sidebar( 'header-sidebar' ); ?--> and <!--?php dynamic_sidebar( 'before-content-sidebar' ); ?-->

    There's a good chance that the widgets will appear when you change the code to

    <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'header-sidebar' ); ?> and <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'before-content-sidebar' ); ?>

    Thanks Marcel. I'm not seeing that in the page source, and I'm not sure where to change it?

    I finally figured this out! I had not enabled the hooks!

    Glad to hear it's working now.
