Jeagr 1 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 So I am trying to automate the configuration of my client's WordPress installations. I basically want to go in after the site is up, and run a bot that configures the insides of the blog for me. I have been doing very well until I hit the "Appearance" > "Widgets" section. In this section, you drag elements over to where you want them to display. In my case, I want to drag a few custom widgets onto the right-sidebar for display. I can't for the life of me figure it out. Can anyone help? Thanks,JJ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bobby 14 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 - Go to the widgets ( /wp-admin/widgets.php )- Click at the right top of the screen "Screen Options" ( /wp-admin/widgets.php#screen-options )- Click "Enable accessibility mode" ( /wp-admin/widgets.php?widgets-access=on ) And now you can set the widgets as you want. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeagr 1 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Has anyone been able to figure this out yet? I keep having issues with Wordpress renaming the damned widgets each time I try to create a flow. One minute it's 'text-2' and the next time I try to test it only 'text-1' works. I can't seem to grasp the logic behind these changes. I can' find a consistent link that works. Any help would be appreciated 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
