My friend, you're going through the same thing I went through. You probably have broken links. Contact Marion Black. She can help you.

You also need to change your domain name. http is not suppose to be there because of that it will be difficult for people to find your site.

I see, nothing is displaying, I can't help you with that, you need to sent in a support ticket for help

I have an inactive sidebar in my widgets area. How can I activate this sidebar? I am not sure how I deactivated it. Unless that is the way the theme that I chose does things. I

Wanda, I know what you mean, I have the same issue with my theme, it has an inactive sidebar and drag it to the active sidebar is not possible. I was wondering what I can do and did some researches.
I found an article on the net which explains how to add dynamic widget ready sidebars or widget ready areas in WordPress themes.
Read this: First thing you need to do is to register your sidebar or widget ready area for your theme. You can register multiple sidebars and widget ready areas. Copy and paste this code in your theme’s functions.php file (then it shows the code you have to copy and paste).
Then: To add these widget areas, edit the template file where you want to display them and paste this code (it shows another code, again).

I am not sure if this might be the solution. I did not try it, because I don't wanna make changes in my Editor as I have no experience with that. But if you wanna give it a try, I can send you the article...

did you get sorted ? :-))

Not yet.

Okay, where did you get to and what theme are you using? and what do you want to put in the side bar? please :-)) I will try my best to help you :-))

It is usual that when we change themes, widgets in sidebar especially those that were added by us and not there by default, go inactive. What you need to do is, go down to the inactive widgets area, then drag it up to the active widgets. Sometimes (not always), you need to edit and save them again the settings in each widget, then save.

Drag it over to your active sidebar

Thank you for the information Mkearns, I wasn't sure about this either.

This could be either a function of the theme or the widget (plugin). You could address it by changing out either one. Since it might be easier to address the widget replacement if efforts mentioned here fail, here is a list of free WP plugins: https://managewp.com/top-rated-sidebar-widgets

thanks for that, reading it now :-))

And here is some training on Widget Management:

hope you got it sorted?

Go to appearance then widgets then you can add on your sidebar

Does anyone know if the Canada Post office is up and running or if they are shut down? I know from this site that they may be shutting down as of July 2nd. I have not heard any

Sorry Right topic but wrong country. Hope it works out for you.

Here is what I saw online at CBC a day ago: Canada Post workers won't strike before Wednesday after proposing new deal: > http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canada-post-no-strike-before-wednesday-1.3662233
Canadapost.ca is showing some news as well.

I did hear they were going on strike. But I do not know when.

Oops, forgot to add the site. Here is the site for the disruption:http://httpcollege-students-need-money.com/canada-disruption

I went to my comment area and saw that I had a disapproval comment. I am not sure how to fix that. I believe what happened is that when I was putting the comment on the page th

That seems to be a disapproval from the person who owns the site - it seems written by a human and not a robot. I would contact them and apologise about your computer going down and offer them a far more comprehensive comment in exchange for them removing their disapproval.

This sounds a little disturbing. I am not sure how this can happen. Can you let me know if you get it resolved and if you have any other information regarding this please. Thanks, Lisa

It doesn't make sense for a comment you were putting on to go negative, there has to be another reason...but you should be able to delete it from your dashboard.

Reasons given without explanation, should be either investigated or ignored. Hope you get it resolved.

Have you explained this to the person who left the disapproval, and sent on the full comments you would have made if your computer had not gone down? I don't know for certain, but it might be that the person who has given the disapproval might be able to edit it if you provide an adequate explanation.

How can you change a comment disapproval rating?
