 * We had someone create a theme for our fan site. The theme unfortunately does 
   not accept widgets and the plugins that used to work on the old free theme and
   on the twenty ten theme, now don’t work. The “programmer” says that it’s HTML
   based and won’t widgetize it. We’ve created a functions.php and added the code
   as suggested in the Codex and added the code to the sidebar.php. Now, the widgets
   and some of the plugins are available at the back-end, they do not show-up. For
   example, the WP Tweet & the Text plugins used to work. Now, it does not even 
   though they are active and have been added to the sidebar. Help, how can we fix
   it?
