The best one I have found is Total Widget Control. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/widgets-not-appearing-in-your-wordpress-theme#post-10230 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:09:16 +0000 Chris 10230@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi, </p> <p>switch to a different non-Thematic theme and back to your child theme.

As a matter of fact, when I view the source I see no reference to the widgets, so I'm assuming it's not related to the CSS. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/widgets-not-appearing-in-your-wordpress-theme#post-10066 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:08:42 +0000 flick 10066@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>@futureimperfect: For some reason I thought this was a Thematic post. Apologies. Anyway, according to the <a href="http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-theme-sidebar-template/">tutorial</a>, leaving the widgets out should default back to the pre-set widgets. Is that what you see with your setup as well? </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/widgets-not-appearing-in-your-wordpress-theme#post-10052 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:15:44 +0000 futureimperfect 10052@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I'm working locally on my Mac using MAMP.

Just to make sure that it wasn't something I modified that was causing it I downloaded a fresh copy of the project from Google Code, and am having the exact same issue. I'm using CSSEdit on the Mac and can see <code>#primary.widget-area</code> and <code>#secondary.widget-area</code>, but the widgets are nowhere to be found, (I do see, however, two bullet points which I'm sure are being generated by the ul tags). The widgets are active in the WordPress admin page, too. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any insight on this issue. </p>
