Site Upgraded to WordPress 2.2

The web site was upgraded to WordPress 2.2 last night. One of the changes made to WordPress 2.2 is that Widgets are now part of the core software and not enabled through a plugin. Widgets can be used on the sidebar and I do use them.

The upgrade seems to have screwed up which widgets are used on the sidebar. I’ve actually removed all widgets from the configuration so they might go away and the default sidebars will return. In any case, I’m planning a major site redesign from now until the weekend which will make the problem moot. [Update: The problem is unique to this theme - tiga 1.02 - which is listed as non-compatible so the problem should be resolved by the weekend when I change themes.]

Since I want to be at WordPress 2.2 for the upgrade I’m leaving things they way they are. Apologies for the slightly bizarre sidebars. [Updated 6/1 - with the theme update ths problem no longer exists]
