| Wordpress.com - Blogroll disappears | | |
Sponsor |  penman2 | Mar 24, 6:06am | I know I could post this question on the Wordpress.com forums, but I thought I'd give this forum a crack.
As a means of breaking myself in gently to Wordpress, I've established a blog on Wordpress.com and will move across to an independently hosted domain in due course.
At first, the Blogroll appeared, but when I chose to customise my sidebar, it disappeared entirely and everything I try will not bring it back. I really don't want to go back to the default setting, but with all the options to add into a customised sidebar, there isn't one for a Blogroll.
Any idea what to do ? Should I add another text box and start one from scratch (a pain, because presumably the " add this blog to your Blogroll facility " wouldn't work) ? |

Sponsor | | fugitive247 | Mar 24, 6:13am | | Did you recently change themes? I find it hard to imagine a WP theme *not* having blogroll capabilities, but you may want to double-check what's actually included with your current theme. |

Sponsor | | penman2 | Mar 24, 4:27pm | No. It did have Blogroll capabilities and my Blogroll appeared at first. Then I decided I wanted to make it clear that the blog was subject to a Creative Commons license and - from reading the Wordpress.com forums - it was clear the only way of doing this was to use a text widget and switching from the default sidebar to a customised one. As soon as I did this, the Blogroll disappeared and everything I do to get it to appear, fails.
If it is the theme causing this (which hadn't occurred to me), perhaps I should switch to another theme and see if this makes a difference. It'll be a couple of days before I can do that, but I'll give it a try.
Thanks. |

Sponsor | | fugitive247 | Mar 26, 6:06pm | I'm still learning my way around WP, so I'm certainly no authority. However, it seems logical that if this is some sort of theme conflict then there's probably a decent temporary work-around for attributions vs. .css headaches.
In my case, until I get more comfortable with the theme I've chosen I set up a few public "411" pages in my blogroll module as an ersatz CYA. Yeah, it's not exactly ideal, but it works for now. |

Sponsor | | penman2 | Mar 27, 5:17am | Thanks. I solved it. I put a 'Links' box in the customisable sidebar and the Blogroll re-appeared.
Good thing we don't have different names for the same thing here on SU or our Homepage/Pages/Reviews/Favorites would be difficult to find/understand for newbies, who would never understand the benefits of joining Forums/Groups !  |
