It seems that many others have the same problem. I finally solved it by simply adding html to the sidebar.php file (and skip the widgets-stuff)
Thanks for replying, everyone!
i tried replacing the sidebar.php file from my default folder (that one does not have a widget folder, though) but nothing happens… should the default theme contain a widgets folder?
the strange thing is that the theme is widgets enabled. i’ve checked with another user, who runs it, without problems. and since i can activate the plug under the plug-ins menu, it looks like all the files are where they should be. But under Presentation: nothing…
