WordPress MU

Running MU 2.8.2. I have tried to add widgets to the sidebar, and nothing changes. Anyone having this issue? Anyone know a solution? I just get the standard "Search" and "Meta" widgets appearing no matter what I do.

Is the sidebar.php of the active theme "widgetized"?

if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) :

... the standard widgets ...

endif;

yes. I have a modified version of the Default MU theme running. The changes are pretty much aesthetic, not functional. My concern is that there may have been updates to this theme with MU 2.8.2 that are causing the issue with my older version of the theme. Any ideas? Thanks!

Carl,

You can see the recent changes to the themes here: http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/log/trunk/wp-content/themes

Generally before I update WPMU, I look to see what changes have been made to the default theme, and apply those changes to my own theme as part of the update.

What version of WPMU were you using before 2.8.2?

I was previously on WPMU 2.7.1. Here is a list of changes made to the default WP theme between 2.7. and 2.8.

thank you. I just replaced the old functions.php with the new one from the default theme for MU 2,8.2 and that did the trick. thanks everyone!
