When I upgraded to Wordpress 3.4 the content widget was disabled.
I’m unable to edit or add any categories inside the content widget.

I found the following message within the Atahualpa 3.4 dashboard STYLE WIDGETS:

“ The Widget Content Box is GONE since Atahualpa 3.4. for better plugin compatibility.

It was a propretiary Atahualpa feature that provided extra styling possibilites but didn't play well with all plugins because some of them rely heavily on widgets having the same structure as in the "Default" theme (which does not have this extra DIV inside each widget).

Instead of "div.widget-container" the styles that you put here will be applied on "div.widget ul, div.textwidget".

That will cover all text widgets and all widgets that consists of unordered lists, which should be the majority of all widgets. Otherwise look into the source code of a browser rendered page of your site to see which DIV or other HTML element wraps around the body content of the widget that was not covered by this, and add a CSS Insert such as: div.some-class { margin: 10px } ”

I went to my Firefox Browser and checked the view source code feature by right clicking the mouse.

I then copied and pasted the following code <div class="widget-title">

into the Atahualpa STYLE WIDGET window and then I saved the changes, but it didn’t fix the problem of not being able to add any new categories inside the content wizard.

Would this code have worked if I had pasted it into the Atahualpa version 3.4.9 STYLE WIDGET WINDOW?
<li id="wp-admin-bar-widgets" class=""><a class="ab-item" tabindex="10"

I also tried setting the perma-links back to default, but that didn’t do anything at all.

Does anyone have any idea how to get the content widgets to work again in Atahualpa 3.4.9?

I also tried deactivating all the widgets to see if there was a conflict, but that didn’t help.

I’m not a programmer, but with a little direction I can usually get things accomplished.

Thank You

Kevin

1) the 'Widget Content Box' was a theme option for adding CSS not HTML
2) the statement 'The Widget Content Box is GONE since Atahualpa 3.4' refers to Atahualpa's version 3.4
3)

I then copied and pasted the following code <div class="widget-title">

into the Atahualpa STYLE WIDGET window and then I saved the changes, but it didn’t fix the problem of not being able to add any new categories inside the content wizard.

that area is for CSS not HTML
4) you are on an old version of Atahualpa - you should upgrade to 3.7.7
5) WordPress 3.x introduced new features that are not supported in old Atahualpa versions

Okay, I'll unzip the upgrade on to my computer and then upload the new files into the theme folder manually.

I don't want to lose any of the design changes I made to the site.

Thank You.

take a read of this thread

I upgraded to Atahualpa 3.7.7 automatically without any problems.

I'm able to create container widgets that show up in the right hand column, but I can't add any categories inside the container widget box.

Perhaps I screwed up by not disabling the widgets before performing the Atahualpa 3.7.7 upgrade.

It's been over a year since I worked on this site.

If my memory serves me right... I think I went into the old WordPress directory before I upgraded to the WP 3.4 and added some C.S.S. code or PHP code that I got off a website, so when the mouse would hover over a link then the small rectangle bullet box next to the category link would change colors.

The colors still change on the small rectangular bullet boxes when the mouse hoovers over them, but I can't add anything text or links inside the boxes.

This change I made maybe the cause of my headaches.

I really don't know. Some people learn by trial and error, but I do it error by error.

Thank you for the help.

1) what 'container ' widget are you using
2) what is the url?

Hello:

My website is www.profitimprovementcoach.com and my Word-Press Blog address is

http://www.profitimprovementcoach.com/Blog/

I only have three active plugins on my WordPress Blog at the moment.

They are:

Akismet, Version 2.5.6

All In One SEO Pack Windows Live Writer Bridge , Version 1.1 | By Keith Dsouza

Post and Categories index generator, Generates a index of post and categories.
Version 0.1.8 | By Marco Constâncio

I can create a Category , but I can't post anything links or text inside of the category.

I'm open to any suggestions as to what plugins work the best or what actions I need to take to get this widget to work.

Thank You,

Kevin

What do you mean by you "can't post anything links or text inside of the category"?

You can put links or texts inside a post that has a category associated with it but how would you post a link or text inside a category?

What I mean is I can create a category widget in Wordpress, but I can't add anything inside the box.

For example, i.e. I can't add any links to articles that I want to post.

Apparently Atahualpa had some proprietary code that had a conflict with the upgraded version of Wordpress open source code and they disabled the widget.

I found the following message within the Atahualpa 3.4 dashboard STYLE WIDGETS:

“ The Widget Content Box is GONE since Atahualpa 3.4. for better plugin compatibility.

It was a propretiary Atahualpa feature that provided extra styling possibilites but didn't play well with all plugins because some of them rely heavily on widgets having the same structure as in the "Default" theme (which does not have this extra DIV inside each widget).

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by creating a category widget. Where are you creating that widget?
What box can't you add links to?

“ The Widget Content Box is GONE since Atahualpa 3.4. for better plugin compatibility.

this was an area of the theme for STYLING the widget content box. It had nothing to do with creating widgets.

If you are using the categry widget, this is a default widget that WordPress provides, it is not theme related.

The Wordpress 'Category' widget just displays a list of your categories.

Color Me Green and Call Me a Pickle.

I figured out the problem after I pulled my head out of the pickle jar.

I went the the Wordpress Dashboard, next I clicked on the "Appearance Icon" and then I clicked on the "Widget Icon."

I then selected a "Category Plugin" that allows me to create new that "Category" and it also has a square bullet that changes color along with the text whenever you perform a mouse-over. In this case, it turns the little square bullet and the text from dark green to light green

The problem was I failed to first create a "New Category" within Wordpress.

So when I tried to post an article in Wordpress I got frustrated because Wordpress didn't display the Category that I previously created with the "Category Plugin."

I could see the "Category / Content Box" that I created with the "Category Plugin" on the webpage right hand column, but nothing would show up inside the Content Box whenever I posted an article.

The solution was to first create and a New Category with Wordpress and then create the same category again with the "Category Plugin." Now it works once again.

Thank You For Your Help

even though it was displayed on the wordpress blog.

The "category plugin" as you call it (it is called a widget) does not create a category. It just displays a list or dropdown of categories you have created. The box at the top is just a title for that widget and the three check boxes are for choosing how you want to display the list.
