Dark Effect Wordpress theme owners

Not sure if this applies to anyone here but if it helps even one person then this thread is worth it.

If you purchased the Dark Effect WP theme a few months back, like I did, and recently upgraded your WP to the latest version 2.8.4 you will notice your theme is out of whack and the right sidebar is missing.

Well, it took a few hours of fiddling around but I found the cause of the problem as well as the solution to this. Simply go to edit your file dynamic_sidebar.php in the theme folder. You will want to remove the following code near the top

PHP Code:

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
        || !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?>

trust me, you don't need this code. Now, near the bottom of the page you simply need to remove the following code

PHP Code:

<?php endif; ?>

...once you do this your theme will function normally again and your sidebar will look exactly like it did before upgrading
