FlatPress support forum

A follow up on this, in case it's of any use to someone...

First, thank you fraenkiman for your reply. It is however a mystery to me as to why adding html tags round a commented out bb code line "should solve the widget problem". Do tell! As in "give a man a fish, feed him for a day; teach a man to ...

Update:

Having reported that widgets weren't working, I came back to the rc1.5 install and there they were, working! It just healed up on being left alone for a while. Eeeh Wot???
