2 Sidebar Widget Areas

actually ive just found it once, in the page.php file.

Is it because im trying to call the 2 bars in 1 area?

thanks

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="content">

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<div class="post">

			<div class="entry">
				<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry ?'); ?>
				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
			</div>

		</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2>Not Found</h2>
		<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>

	<?php endif; ?>

	</div>
	<!--/content -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar('second'); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

well swapped it to main 1 and its still duplicated. Any ideas folks?

Your help is much appreciated ??

also this is the code for the main1 sidebar

<div id="sidebar-main1">
<ul id="sidebar-main1">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-main1') ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

</div>

Hi Moderators, what do i have to do to get this resolved? Apologies for the mis information.

what do i have to do to get this resolved?

possibly be patient and what a bit longer than just 30 minutes?

even with a duplicate alchymyth? As i thought this would suggest that i had pasted the call twice.

Sorry for the abruptness. Im very new and trying to learn. As usually the changes when i edit the code are instantly viewable

what are your codes in functions.php for registering the sidebars?

what is the code of sidebar-second.php?

apologies how to do i put backticks and i will paste the code
alchymyth

thankyou for your help

apologies if i post this wrong:

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h4>',
'after_title' => '</h4>',
));
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar-main1',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h4>',
'after_title' => '</h4>',
));
register_sidebar(array(
  'name' => __( 'Right Hand Sidebar' ),
  'id' => 'right-sidebar',
  'description' => __( 'Widgets in this area will be shown on the right-hand side.' ),
  'before_title' => '<h1>',
  'after_title' => '</h1>'
));
?>

this is my function file

and my main1 php is:

<div id="sidebar-main1">
<ul id="sidebar-main1">
<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-main1') ) : else : ?>
   <ul>
  </ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>

why i have 2 boxes for the 2nd sidebar area.

seems to be caused by the (invalid) repeated and nested use of the css id #sidebar-main1 in the sidebar file;

possibly change the css id to a differnt name in one of those lines:

<div id="sidebar-main1">
<ul id="sidebar-main1">

example:

<div id="sidebar-main-wrap">
<ul id="sidebar-main1">

and add corrsponding css to style.css if necessary.

oh sugar! Didnt realise that. I assumed they had to be the same to correspond.

I will try this.

Thankyou again

awesomeness alchymyth

It appears to have worked! I will remember to use a different name to the UL name for extra bars in future.

Your help has been much appreciated hun.

Thankyou again
