A plugin just messed up a custom widget area

I had someone add some widget areas to my front page and I just screwed something up.

I believe it was a plugin that changed something but the widget areas that replaced the 'page calls' on the front page are not working now. I'm getting the 'page calls' again.

The 3 elements across the page with the same image are page calls via the Elegant Themes Chamilion template settings. They were replaced with widget areas but now they aren't working.

Anyone got a minute to help out here? I just launched a fundraising project today and this is pretty important.

jezyk.pila.pl

The plugin I added is http://www.gopiplus.com/work/2011/01/14/wordpress-popup/#

I believe it changed the footer.php file but I have no idea what changes were made.

This question has been answered.

      Doug Montgomery says:

      Didn't change any settings or messed with code but I did install a plugin, the one mentioned above. I noticed the problem from that point on. I deactivated the plugin and uninstalled it but no luck.

      so your problem is that where this text is written "7 Rules for Learning ANY Language!!"

      you have same three titles and content at home page

      that should be different ,

      is this your problem?

      Doug Montgomery says:

      Yes, you created 3 widget areas and that area is supposed to call the widgets first and if nothing in the widget area then it should call from the cms or template default.

    Can you post the contents of your footer.php?

    • 06/25/12 7:10am

      Doug Montgomery says:

      Here's the code for the footer.php but I just thought of something...can a plugin change the 'footer'? It's in the template.

      		<div id="footer">
      

      
			<div id="footer-content" class="clearfix">
      

      
				<div id="footer-widgets" class="clearfix">
      

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

      
					<?php endif; ?>
      

      
				</div> <!-- end #footer-widgets -->
      

      
				<p id="copyright"><?php esc_html_e('Designed by ','Chameleon'); ?> <a href="http://www.elegantthemes.com" title="Premium WordPress Themes">Elegant WordPress Themes</a> | <?php esc_html_e('Powered by ','Chameleon'); ?> <a href="http://www.wordpress.org">WordPress</a></p>
      

      
			</div> <!-- end #footer-content -->
      

      
		</div> <!-- end #footer -->
      

      
	</div> <!-- end #container -->
      

      
	<?php get_template_part('includes/scripts'); ?>
      

      
	<?php wp_footer(); ?>
      

      
</body>
      

      
</html>

      Navjot Singh says:

      I asked you for footer.php's code because that's where you had the doubt. A plugin can change the footer through wp_footer() hook. Anyways, can you please paste the code of your theme's home.php? The code which is duplicating these 3 areas is in there.
