I have been using the theme without any problem at the following link: http://www.gideasmx.com/andamios/

Today I tried to update the info inside the widget area. I wrote the new texts and clicked update, everything worked fine but when I tried to “refresh” the browser I noticed the info did not change. Turned back to widget area in the wordpress backend I noticed the new text is there. It means, it was saved correctly.

I went to phpmyadmin and verify the info was updated also correctly in the database. Retuned back to my browser, delete cache and history, refresh the page but the info in widgets doesn’t change at all.

I tried to make some updates on different pages and posts and everything worked as expected. It appears the problem it’s only in the widgets.

I hope I explain myself and sorry for my poor english. Can you please help me to check what’s happening and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

Let’s see, which widget are you speaking of? URL?
Is it also the default sidebar or a custom one you are using? :)
You can also let me have your user + pass (in a private reply) so I can further inspect.

Obviously you have the footer info hardcoded there.
Not a good idea for 2 reasons.
- you don’t have the option to edit form widget area in the dashboard
- even if you will override stuff in the templates do it in your Child theme, otherwise you will lose the changes when you update the theme! :)
