If it doesn’t do that you can open the options pane of a particular widget in a sidebar by clicking on the little arrow to the right of the widget’s title. * Thread Starter [suntico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suntico/) * (@suntico) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-widgets/#post-1120524) * Hi chschenk, * I did that.. but it doesn’t work, i can see the categories on the page [http://www.fernandez.co.cr](http://www.fernandez.co.cr) the category widget is on the sidebar 1… * Thread Starter [suntico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suntico/) * (@suntico) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-widgets/#post-1120525) * sorry for the last comment… the correct text is… * i can’t see the categories on the page [http://www.fernandez.co.cr…](http://www.fernandez.co.cr…); and the category widget is on the sidebar 1 * [figaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figaro/) * (@figaro) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-widgets/#post-1120530) * Go to your widgets screen and then at the upper-right, click “Screen Options”. Then at the upper-left, click “Enable accessability mode”. Then add the widgets again and see if that helps. * Thread Starter [suntico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suntico/) * (@suntico) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-widgets/#post-1120620) * tks to chschenk, and figaro, i did that you told me.. but it doesn’t work, someone know about other theme to photographers similar to this, that the categories works!!!! * I really like the autofocus theme, but i don’t know what happend.. and i put the lastest version, write to the creator (he doesn’t respond me) * tks a lot for all * [j-aperture](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maestro_illuminist/) * (@maestro_illuminist) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-widgets/#post-1120622) * The sidebars are only visible if you change the default template of your page. I’ll quote the author’s instructions here: * > **Sidebar** > The sidebar for this theme is included as a template for use on an ‘Archives’ > page. To activate the sidebar, create a page called ‘Archives’ for example > and select the Archives Page Template. This template pulls in the 2 sidebars > that sit right on top of each other. * Hopefully this helps * << Website: [http://maestroilluminist.com](http://maestroilluminist.com) >> * Thread Starter [suntico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suntico/) * (@suntico) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-widgets/#post-1120635) * tks a lot maestro_illuminist .. thats works pretty cool… i’m really appreciate your help * [fattymattybrewing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fattymattybrewing/) * (@fattymattybrewing) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-widgets/#post-1120687) * It seems to me that the Autofocus theme is not really a CMS friendly theme. My website uses the theme switcher and I need all pages on my website to be able to show the same content no matter what theme website users have selected in the theme switcher menu. I just don’t see how the Auto focus theme would work well as a CMS friendly theme without some manual tweaking. Would my site’s page templates stay applied even if a user changes the theme with a theme switcher in the sidebar? * [mexcla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mexcla/) * (@mexcla) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-widgets/#post-1120693) * Hi maestro_illuminist * > Sidebar > The sidebar for this theme is included as a template for use on an ‘Archives’ > page.
