In reply to: Sidebars do not show up on admin widgets.php pageesmi,
That did the trick!
Turns out it’s a plugin called ‘Google Analyticator’ which has the following description:
Adds the necessary JavaScript code to enable Google’s Analytics. After enabling this plugin you need to authenticate with Google, then select your domain and you’re set.
My guess is that since that is set up to use the FQDN of the live site that it triggers an error on my test. So for the purposes of testing I’ll just leave it off.
Thanks for your help I really appreciate it. I’ll have to print out and keep those troubleshooting steps for the future, I scratched my head for hours over this one when it was really so simple… That’s usually how it works though isn’t it.
Regards.

In reply to: Sidebars do not show up on admin widgets.php pageBTW I don’t know if this will help, and I’ve done this successfully before but… The way I installed this test site was to export an SQL file from the live site using phpmyadmin. Then FTP the .sql file to the test server and use mySQL to import into the DB. Then I simply had to change the URL settings in the appropriate places in the DB and the config files. Then I FTP all the PHP and HTML and the test site fired right up.

In reply to: Sidebars do not show up on admin widgets.php pageOk yes they run a tight shop over there. So what would you suggest I look for? Aside from a few differences they look very similar. I’m thinking it has something to do with Javascript. That’s probably what’s used to do the drag and drop functionality right? BUt since it does the same on any theme I choose and in different browsers it has nothing to do with the browsers JS settings.
For now I just converted it to html here:

In reply to: Sidebars do not show up on admin widgets.php pageHmmm ok, that’s odd. Can you see the root of that site? http://blacksburghistory.org/
I don’t have a shell on that server so I cannot change permissions. Perhaps there is something in Apache I am not aware of that blocks certain requests on the root so I moved it here:
If that doesn’t work I’ll post it on paste bin.

In reply to: Sidebars do not show up on admin widgets.php pageThis is the remote site here: http://blacksburghistory.org/phpinfo.php
That’s the link you cannot see?
If it’s the link with the IP maybe it has to include the http?
regards.

In reply to: Sidebars do not show up on admin widgets.php pageesmi I just checked the apache2 and mysql logs and nothing really stands out. Just one error about Google Anylitics can’t find a file.
So I went and built a mirror of my site on a test box so I could fix and or break it there. I went back to where it was right after 2.0 was installed, no migration yet. That was the last back up I had. Then I deleted the 2.0 plug in and reinstalled 1.6.5 and now it appears that I am back to normal again, no data loss since they are all posts anyway. At least on my test box. I’ll do the live box today or early tomorrow. I’ll probably just stick to 1.6.5 unless I can easily work it out on my test box. I’m not really concerned about functionality but if the 2.x version also includes security enhancements than I’d definitely want to upgrade.
Ok so here’s my problem. Found this thread Googling. One of my admins upgraded the plugin to 2.0 and didn’t back up the DB first 🙁
If I remember correctly we used to add events through the Post function and simply check the appropriate items to have them added to the calendar rather than a blog post. I’m just the admin not editor so IDK. Anyway after the upgrade the calendar page was only available in list view and there were no events listed under events but rather they were all listed under Post.
So what I did was upgrade it again to 2.0.1 and then migrate the data as per the discussion in this thread. Now there are events listed under the Events section AND those events are also still listed under the Post section.
The problem? My events page is still stuck in list only view: http://www.blacksburghistory.org/?cat=5 with no option to go to a calendar view. Under settings for the event calendar I have selected the calendar view.
It’s almost as though that page is a blog roll getting it’s data from the Post section rather than a calendar getting the data from the Events.
