# Theme conflict – cannot subscribe

 * Hello,
    I’m having trouble figuring out what could be wrong in my template that
   prevents user from subscribing. I’ve tried switching to TwentyTen theme and it
   works fine. I’m using a custom template I’ve coded (based on TwentyTen), I’m 
   using a custom sidebar with widget area. I do have wp_footer() in my footer.php.
 * Any ideas where could be the problem?

 * Are you using the sendpress widget or a form? Did you mark your list as public
   and check that list in the widget?
 * Also, perhaps you could provide your site URL and one of the developers could
   take a peak.

 * I’m using the widget and all the lists are public and appearing in widget. It’s
   probably something with the theme I’m using since it works fine in TwentyTen.
 * The url is [http://www.studynet.cz/blog/](http://www.studynet.cz/blog/) , for
   now just a test page.

 * I found the cause by experimenting. 🙂 In my blog template there was
    `require_once(
   header.php)`
 * so I replaced it with
    `get_header()`
 * and it’s working now. 🙂
