Coffee Cup SideBar

Without being able to actually see the blog, it’s extremely hard to say where you went wrong. A picture of the thing is nice and all, but the actual *code* on the page is far more useful.

I took a look at the Coffee Cup theme and it appears to use standard UL/LI’s for the sidebar, so I don’t really know how you could have went wrong there. And without looking at the blog itself or the code you used in the sidebar.php, there’s no way to figure it out.

I can’t get in with that username/password combo.

Ahh. Okay, I think I see what the deal is. Let me guess… in your functions.php, you used this code:
<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array(
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<div class="title">',
'after_title' => '</div>',
));
?>
Right?

Try changing that to this:
<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar();
?>

That first bit of code is for use where your sidebar isn’t an unordered list. However, the Coffee Cup theme’s sidebar *is* an unordered list, with CSS to match. So the normal register_sidebar() code should work without modification.
