Enterprise Theme Widget Not Working

[Joseph Lee]

I have a fresh enterprise theme. I can not put widgets in the top#2 widget area. They are there in the back office even when I refresh. Nothing appears in the slider on the front page though. When I use chrome to view the code, not text widget div is even inside of the element. It's like the widget area is dead?

 

Please help.

Go into home.php and change this

if ( function_exists( 'wp_cycle' ) )
		wp_cycle();

to this

dynamic_sidebar( 'home-top-2' );

Why is that wrong inside of the theme? Why don't we update it if it's broken?

 

I really  REALLY want to support and push Genesis. I don't understand why there are these little wrinkles though.

[SoZo]

I don't know

I still get nothing on my homepage.

[Joseph Lee]

I deleted everything you showed me. Was I supose to leave the first line and replace the second line?

[SoZo]

You need to replace the wp-cycle template tag with the sidebar call

I am sorry. I had to install a fresh theme. I messed that one up. Can you be very specific? I am not a PHP guy.

 

/**
* Conditionally add Home Top #1 (home-top-1) sidebar and WP-Cycle.
*/
function enterprise_home_top_helper() {

echo '<div id="home-top-bg"><div id="home-top"><div class ="wrap">';

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-top-1' ) ) {
echo '<div class="home-top-1">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'home-top-1' );
echo '</div><!-- end .home-top-1 -->';
}
echo '<div class="home-top-2">';
if ( function_exists( 'wp_cycle' ) )
wp_cycle();
echo '</div><!-- end .home-top-2 -->';
echo '</div><!-- end .wrap --></div><!-- end #home-top --></div><!-- end #home-top-bg -->';

}

add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'enterprise_home_genesis_meta' );

 

 

 

Please rewrite it for me. I am sorry. If you have a phone number/business and can fix this, I will happily pay you.

I tried this code. I figured, home-top-1 sidebar is showing up on the front page, but sidebar 2 isn't. This still doesn't work though.

 

/**
* Conditionally add Home Top #1 (home-top-1) sidebar and WP-Cycle.
*/
function enterprise_home_top_helper() {

echo '<div id="home-top-bg"><div id="home-top"><div class ="wrap">';

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-top-1' ) ) {
echo '<div class="home-top-1">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'home-top-1' );
echo '</div><!-- end .home-top-1 -->';
}

if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘home-top-2′ ) ) {
echo ‘<div class=”home-top-2″>’;
dynamic_sidebar( ‘home-top-2′ );
echo ‘</div><!– end .home-top-2 –>’;
}
echo '</div><!-- end .wrap --></div><!-- end #home-top --></div><!-- end #home-top-bg -->';

}

That should work. But make sure you don't have fancy quotes in the code. You don't have a caching plugin activated do you? What's the URL?

I dont have such a plugin, BUT this code doesn't work! I used ctrl+shift+r to clear cashe.

[SoZo]

Nothing wrong with the code you posted other than the fancy quotes.

What are fancy qoutes?

 

 

Thank yo uso much for helping me by the way

[SoZo]

Fancy quotes, a.k.a smart quotes and curly quotes, curl or slant. You need straight quotes in code.

I don't see where I included the fancy qoutes. The code isn't working though.

 

Do you see fancy qoutes in my second code post?

[Joseph Lee]

Is there anyone else that might be able to assist me with this theme? I don't see where these qoutes are that would effect my code.

 

 

I really need help. I am about to give up on genesis. I don't feel like I should have to go in and modify their "ready to go code" 🙁

 

Someone please help

[SoZo]

Yes, all the code you posted has fancy quotes. The forum converts the quotes automatically which is why you should copy/paste from the forums directly unless the code is wrapped in code tags.

SoZo, thank you for your continued assistance. The problem has been resolved thanks to you. I've also learned quite a bit.

 

I greatly appreciate your assistance. I also enjoyed your websites thoroughly. Pursuit of Happiness is an excellently designed page. I definitely learned a few css tricks from that page.  Thanks!
