WP 2.7: I can't add the 'Recent Posts' and 'Archives' widget

3 replies
I've recently upgraded wy Wordpress installation to 2.7, and changed the theme. On the 'Widgets' page the 'Recent Posts'-, 'Archives'- and 'Pages' widgets are showing in the list, but they don't have the 'Add' link next to them.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

    Because they have already been added?

      the theme you are using is probably not widgetized. Try selecting a theme from
      wordpress.org
      The themes there have to adhere to many rules in order to be able to be showcased there and they work properly!

        Lol - no they haven't.
        I even checked my previous theme, in case the widgets had been in a sidebar that wasn't showing in the new template...

        It is; all the other widgets are functioning like they're supposed to...
