    I am not sure what happened but I cannot edit my sidebar widgets. I’ve tried in the the Appearance>Widgets area where I was able to edit them previously, and after I could not open them there, I deleted them. They have never shown up in the customizer but the content still shows up on my sidebar. I need to get this changed because I have ads that I need to update.

    Here is a link to a Dropbox folder with a screenshot of what I see in these two areas.

    NM, I stumbled across the solution, it looks like a much easier way to manage my widgets too.

    Hi!


    @marienlely     Have you tried de-activating all active plugins and check if that helps? Can you post the link to your website please?

    Hi Yigit,

    I more meant in the possible ways of customizing the sidebar, so I could have more control. I installed a sidebar plugin recently and that seemed to work pretty well.

    I recently discovered I can manipulate the text widget for the sidebar pretty easily with the enfold one, so I might switch back.

    Basically what I want to do is show a title > book underneath > short description underneath > text link ….and then another section

    Check out my site here: http://urbancrochet.com/?page_id=2590 . You can see what I’m doing there with the sidebar currently. One problem is I’m trying to insert a rule under the title for each category, but so far unsuccessful there.

    Thanks for checking in on this Yigit

    Hey!

    I’m not sure I completely understand what you are trying to do, what kind of rule would you like to apply to each category? If you have some kind of mock-up it would be of great help to understand better.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Hi @Rikard, I figured it out. I was trying to simply modify a text widget on my sidebar but could not access from the Appearance>Widgets location like I had always done in the past, but I have found out how to do it.


    @marienlely    , I had been editing widgets from the Appearance>Widgets location. But now there is a “Manage in Customizer” button at the top of the Widgets page and when you click that you will be able to edit widgets with a live view present. You need to be sure to click on the page you plan the widget to be on. I think once you get there it will make since to you.

    Thanks for your help.

    Jim, thanks for the tip. I should be able to get it right now.

    Rikard, thanks for checking in. Jim gave me enough to go off of so I should have no problem with it.
