Can anyone list the main causes for a widget i developed doesn't show up in the New Instance Widget section of Magento CMS?
I followed this tutorial, but it doesnt show up as it's supposed to, actually it doesnt show up at all.
If you think you need to see my code please just tell me.
Happy programming!
If you have done the Magento security upgrades , you might want to white-list the widget so CMS pages can access it.

I just finished my first custom wordpress site, using my custom theme, and now, I was starting to translate the site, I need it to have 3 languages.
So, I installed the plugin Polylang. But, I don't know why, when this plugin is active, my home page that is a custom page (page-home.php) is not being considered the homepage anymore. Since I never used this plugin before and I don't have much knowledge in wordpress, I have no idea how to solve this problem.
Can anyone help me?
I solved the problem. If you are using a custom page as your homepage, you first have to edit it. Just go there and save it, to assign this page to the default language you chose.
After that, you have to go to every page, post, custom post, and taxonomy, and save it using the default language. If you don't do that, the posts or the other contents of that current language will not be shown on the site, cause they have no language associated to it.
Then, you have to create a new version of every content you have on the admin (posts, pages, taxonomies) for the other languages you gonna use.
I have a WordPress site where I am using a purchasaed template and woocommerce for the shop. The problem is on the shop page the right bar gets pushed down. When I enquired about this issue from the developers of the template I was told to purchase shop beginner kit for the problem to fix.
That doesn't make sense to me, there must be a way to put the right bar properly to the right on the shop page when it is working fine on the other pages by editing either the PHP or CSS.
I tried editing the quick css, however, all it did was from the bar from left side to right side, however, it still stayed below.
Would appreciate any direction that someone can give as to which php to edit and how to go about it, my WordPress knowledge is at beginners level.
The page in questions would be
http://needlestosaymore.com/product-category/house-warmers/
one needs to edit archive-product.php page accordingly to make the changes which is found in the woocommerce plugin folder
I know that I can go and change my theme's style.css file to change the background color of my widget areas, or if I make a custom widget area, I can give that a specific class and thus a custom background image in the style.css, but I need to give the user control for a few widget areas.
I have searched and searched and have not found any relevant information. Does anybody have any idea how I could do this? I really don't know how to make a widget AREA customizeable, and I would really appreciate any pointers in the right direction or assistance that anyone can provide.
EDIT
To be clear, I know how to add a custom widget area to my site. I have no idea how to add a customizeable option to the widget area, rather than a custom widget. As far as I understand it, widget areas are a set thing, are they not? Any pointer to a theme that does this would be greatly appreciated, as all of my google searches only end up pointing me to how to create a custom widget area, rather than a customizeable widget area.

My understanding of your question is that you are looking for a way to allow the client/admin to modify the widgets that are displayed on any given page/post (rather than modify the widgets themselves).
This is a problem I have tried various ways to solve, never adequately imo. First of all there's the option to create a widget area for each page dynamically. I've seen it in commercial themes, I've done it myself, it is not without it's problems as you can see here - Register new widget position moves existing widgets
There are plugins that can do this, again not without their drawbacks. This plugin;
http://www.codeandmore.com/products/wordpress-plugins/wp-page-widget/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-page-widget/
Is great, I love it. BUT it does not work on custom page template, be aware (I've not looked at modifying to allow this, I've seen a post by the developers saying they have no intention of adding this).
There is this plugin - http://strategy11.com/display-widgets/ by the developer of the Formidable plugin, for me it makes the widget area far too complex if you have a lot of widgets and a lot of pages.
Finally there is what I ended up doing recently - using this code by Chris Coyier
http://digwp.com/2010/04/call-widget-with-shortcode/
To do my own custom code using the Wordpress function the_widget (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget) to deploy certain widgets on a page by page basis.
Hy, i just recently started to use Halogy, it's a cms based on codeigniter.
I'm currently just checking it out so i'm using the free version, but i cant get my mind wrapped around the custom navigation option.
First of all i cant access the navigation section, and i cant show custom navigation in the template using this {navigation(custom)}
Thanks for any help
Well! I am glad someone is using it. For your problem go to pages creat a page save and publish it and it will be available to use. That's all.
Having a bit of difficulty trying to incorporate the phpBB forum within a on our own page. Does anyone know if this is actually possible?
It might be that phpBB is not the correct product for the job but I had to start somewhere. Looking for a low quantity Message Forum to incorporate into our website. Rather than have it in it's own page I would like to build it into our standard page layout with our own Header, Menu, Quick links panel, floating Footer etc.
Can this be done, if so is phpBB the right Forum to use or should I be looking at something else.
Thanks,
You can create a phpBB board style which matches your regular page layout. See e.g. http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/how-to-create-a-style-basics/ for some details.
Note that phpBB updates can introduce changes to the default board style - when this happens, you will need to update your board style accordingly to make sure everything works as expected.
You could try modifying the phpBB template files (.tpl) to pull in your website framework and then the forum will be surrouned with your actual website e.g. header, menu, footer, etc.
