How to get links (blogroll) to be 'live'?

[martoons]

Hi, I'm using Cutline 3-Column Right 1.4-3CR with Wordpress 2.7 - my url is http://photomarketeers.com

These are some little challenges I am having:

a) no sitemap

b) can't get links (blogroll) to be 'live' in widgets

Question - would it be better to use Cutline 3 Column right? Or...

Could my (13 active) plugins be causing this?

Be great to know your thoughts & suggestions.

Thanks in advance...

Sitemap:
Create a new page called "Sitemap", then find the panel for "Page Template" and in the dropdown menu, select "Sitemap".

Blogroll:
What do you mean? You have to create a Blogroll in the Links section of your WordPress admin and then add it as a widget.

These shouldn't be affected by your theme version.

Hi, thanks
Sitemap worked perfectly.
Still challenged by the blogroll thing though.

Under Links > Link Categories > 'Link categories' page:
I had two categories in there (photo sites & resources) - these
came from my previous site - but no 'blogroll.'

So I added Blogroll (with slug 'top-links') and now Blogroll
is a category.

Under Links > Edit Links > I now have 2 or so links with
the category 'Blogroll.'

Then I go to Appearance > Widgets and 'show all widgets.'
The 'Links' widget does not have an 'Add' link next to it (neither
do Archives or Recent Posts') - so I can't move Links to my current
sidebar 1 or sidebar 2 widgets...

All the other available widgets have the 'Add' link next to them.

Can you see what I am doing wrong here? Or right?

Thanks in advance,

Martin

You mean you can't drag and drop it to the widgets panel? Is it showing up on the right side of the Widgets page?

Hi.,
I can't drag and drop the links to the 'active widgets.'

The thing is when I 'show used widgets' these ones show up:

Links: Blogroll
Archives
Recent Posts
Categories
text
etc

So it's 'in use' but not being seen perhaps?

I can't see the links on my site: http://photomarketeers.com
although the others show up.

Maybe it's a plugin problem? Some plugin is causing the
links to be hidden?

Thanks

Have you tried disabling your plugins one by one and check it out? While you're at it, try a different theme like the Default one. I'm sorry but I can't imagine why it wouldn't show up.

If all else fails, try doing it manually. Add this

<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>

right before this

<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(2)) : ?>

in r_sidebar.php for example. Though, if you don't use widgets, the Cutline code already displays the Blogroll on the left sidebar (see sidebar.php).

Hi.,
I got it to work -- I upgraded to the newest version of WordPress
and it's perfect.

Otherwise I would have started to disable the plugins one
by one as you suggested.

Also seems to be a good idea to upload different Cutline
themes to try too. If one doesn't work the other one usually
might do the trick.

Anyway - thanks so much for all your help I appreciate it.
