Adding a Top Bar (Widget area?)

  • Hello all,
    Site: https://1.projecthappiness.com

    I am looking to add a widget area as the top bar. I have a plugin top bar but am thinking a widgetized area would be more flexible.

    I have looked and looked, and the code I found for doing so is 6 years old. Is there a whiteboard somewhere here or a tutorial on how to do this?

    Thanks

  • It is particularly simple to add a new area of widgets below some sample code and paramais information visit the codex.

    In functions.php

    <?php
/**
 * Register our sidebars and widgetized areas.
 *
 */
function arphabet_widgets_init() {

	register_sidebar( array(
		'name' => 'Home right sidebar',
		'id' => 'home_right_1',
		'before_widget' => '<div>',
		'after_widget' => '</div>',
		'before_title' => '<h2 class="rounded">',
		'after_title' => '</h2>',
	) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'arphabet_widgets_init' );
?>

    In header.php or other file where the area will appear.

    <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>
	<div id="primary-sidebar" class="primary-sidebar widget-area" role="complementary">
		<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?>
	</div><!-- #primary-sidebar -->
	<?php endif; ?>

    Example taken from the codex.
