Need Help with WordPress Widgets

by Ouroboros
6 replies
I've got a Wordpress theme I really like, but can't seem to change the sidebar entries. I get this in the code...

<?php /* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */
if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar1') ) : ?>

But I'll be dammed if I can find the right plugin!

HELP!

    Jay,

    I tried that one, uploaded it and installed it and couldn't see any difference.

    Something I'm missing?

    Yes..

    It's probably putting the code inside the PHP tags.. the required code needs to be outside this in your sidebar.php file...

    Bit crazy to talk you through it here though..

    Will try to PM you if I get time later.. bit hectic at the mo.

    Peace

    Thanks anyway...

    It's showing up in another theme, maybe I can figure out the sidebar code.

    Screw this! Life is too short to mess with broken themes...

    Never fall in love with a theme unless you're a wiz at php. I've got a subdomain where I test all these things and something like 3 out of 10 are totally screwed up!

    Problem fixed, trash that theme and use another one!

      Steve take that out and put this in for the right sidebar.
      <!-- Widgetized right sidebar -->
      <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
      || !dynamic_sidebar('right_sidebar') ) : ?>
      <?php endif; ?>
      And this for the left sidebar
      <!-- Widgetized left sidebar -->
      <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
      || !dynamic_sidebar('left_sidebar') ) : ?>
      <?php endif; ?>
      That should work for ya.
