Please help! Errors after adding a second sidebar ~

  • Hi all,

    I’ve really screwed things up this time I think …

    I’ve been trying to add a second sidebar to this theme, so that I’m able to use my custom templates with it.

    I started off with editing the functions, creating the second sidebar file (sidebarcustom.php) and then applied the template to the front page. All seemed to be going well until I viewed the other pages … which all ended up with errors regarding the sidebar!

    Please see what i mean here: https://www.campnageela.org/ ALL files now have an error.

    I decided to AGAIN try by starting over and edited my functions.php with the following:

    <?php
        register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar'));
        register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar2'));
    ?>

    I’ve now sidebar.php and sidebar2.php

    I’ve made sure the custom template and index.php files were calling the correct sidebar files … but still getting the errors on all pages!

    Please, help help or direction would be muchly appreciated ~

    Thanks

  • hmm…dunno if it helps, but in my old theme I made with 2 sidebars…this was the relevant part of my functions.php

    if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )
	register_sidebars(2);

    sidebar.php looked like

    <ul id="sidebarright">

<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : else : ?>

 <li id="pages"><?php _e('<h2>Pages</h2>'); ?>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
</ul>
 </li>

 <li id="categories"><?php _e('<h2>Categories</h2>'); ?>
	<ul>
	<?php wp_list_cats(''); ?>
	</ul>
 </li>

<?php endif; ?></ul>

    sidebar2.php looked like

    <ul id="sidebarleft">

<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : else : ?>
<?php get_links_list(); ?>
 <li id="archives"><?php _e('<h2>Archives</h2>'); ?>
 	<ul>
	 <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
 </li>

 <li id="Recent Posts"><?php _e('<h2>Recent Posts</h2>'); ?>
<ul class="menublock">
<p><?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=05'); ?></p>
</ul>
 </li>

 <?php endif; ?>
		</ul>

    and I called em in my index.php like this

    <div id="sidebarwrapper">
	    <div id="leftnav">

	  <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    </div>
    <div id="rightnav">
	  <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar2.php'); ?>
</div>
</div>

    Dunno if any of that helps you….and its been so long since I coded this….I forget my thought process
