 * For starters, REMOTE_ADDR isn’t automatically defined.
 * Use $_SERVER[“REMOTE_ADDR”] instead.
 * _<?php
    $IP = $\_SERVER[“REMOTE\_ADDR”]; echo “This is your IP” . $IP; ?>

 * That code does work, as I’ve used it many times.
 * Rather than just saying that it doesn’t work, give specifics. What does it display
   on the screen? What value does $IP give? Have you tried running it from the command
   line? Have you tried making a file with nothing but this code and seeing what
   happens? What server do you have, Apache? If so, What version? PHP version? etc

 * I’m using Apache, and php 5.2.5, it work in a file by it’s self but does not 
   work in WP side bar displays nothing.
 * So the code works just not in WP side bar.

 * The code in sidebar.php doesn’t show up if you’re using widgets. It’s the default
   non-widget content.
 * Either stop clear out the widgets in presentation->widgets or else drag up a 
   text widget and copy/paste the code.

 * And don’t yell (type in all caps). We have no way of knowing from a web browser
   if you’re using sidebar.php or if you’re using the widgets manager in the admin
   interface.
