Thanks, it took some tweaking but I got that code to work. The end result was:
In functions.php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar1',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h2 class="decay">',
'after_title' => '</h2>',
));
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar2',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h2 class="decay">',
'after_title' => '</h2>',
));
and in my sidebar.php
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar1') ) : ?>
All the default stuff
<?php endif; ?>
I’m not sure why your code didn’t work right off for me. So I just modified the existing code to reflect the difference I noticed between the two. The confusion I was having before was that the template I was using didn’t name the sidebar array so I didn’t know one could differentiate between the two. Thanks for the help.
