    Hi

    I’m having some problems with widgets not showing when they should be.

    Firstly, nothing is showing on my main geodir page (not the site homepage) in the right hand section, despite there being 4 widgets in the GD Home Right Section.

    Why would this be please?

    Also, still can’t get the ‘Take a look at these doggie shops’ widget to work on the actual site homepage.

    Will post links and details in the next post

    Thanks

    Sally

    I can see all the widgets just fine except the slider.
    Also, you have both the left and right sidebar set at GD > Design > Home, adding up to a total width of 126%. I disabled the left one since you are not using that one.
    You already have the slider in the Home Content Section: you can only have one slider on a page.

    You can’t add the sliding widget to a non-GD page, because it will only show filtered listings, so it needs to be on a GD page.

    Ok, so my best bet is to just create a banner/image and link it to the GD main page? I don’t feel there is enough exposure for the directory part of the site on the sites homepage, but I don’t want the homepage to be completely taken over by the directory, if that makes sense, as its a news site too

    You can use the Popular Places widget, that widget is not dependent on what is served on the page from the database.
