Topic: bottom content widget not visible

Hello there
Just started usind Arras (1.5.2), and I like it. Using 3 col (2 sidebars)
But any kind of widget I place in bottom content is invisible! Sidebar 1 and 2, and footer works ok.

I have been looking everywhere, and found a lot of answers - but only to related issues...
I am not a php nerd, but not a WP newbie either.
But this is strange...

Hope to find a clue here, thanx.

Hi dgodfather!
Arras (1.5.2), Using 3 col (2 sidebars)
I added widgets in the content bottom area, but as you can see, they are not visible at the page: www.rescomm.dk.
I tried at both sites (Danish and English version) but no luck. At the screenshot you can see my widgets (an yes, I did click “save”…) Widgets in primary, secondary and footer area work perfectly.

Thank you for helping.

Are there currently widgets set up in the bottom content areas?

Yes, as you can see  smile  ... if this site would take my attachments!!! There are two widgets, in #1 and #2.

Now I try to attach in Word instead of pdf.

Provide a screenshot of the appearance>widgets area of your admin so that I can see what you have.

Re: bottom content widget not visible

Is your homepage a actual page or the theme's homepage?

The page that displays when I click on the link that you provided looks like the page generated when you visit an individual post and therefore does not have the bottom widget content:

...

<div id="content" class="section">

        <div id="post-96" class="post-96 page type-page status-publish hentry clearfix single-post">
        <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="http://rescomm.dk/" rel="bookmark"></a></h1>        
...

Yes, it is my homepage, not a post. It is just a page with no name (invisible in menu). I always use default template for pages, by the way.

And to Godfather - sorry it will not take my attachements. Are there rules for those?

Why is that? Is this explained somewhere in Arras?

Good point voidtrance. Only the homepage makes use of bottom content widgets. You would have to use PHP code to call for the widgets to appear into a custom template. It's a bit advanced for these simple support forums. Unfortunately the documentation for Arras is lacking at this point. You may need to hire a developer unless someone is generous enough to offer their support for free.

Ok, got the point. I will see if I can manage the php part, I have some experience doing that in spite... (but always with a heavy backup!) or ask one in my network. I guess it is about creating a new template?

The only strange thing is that the widgets dont show up at the homepage either. I assume that you think of a static page, not a post page?

Thank you for all of this.
