• Hi,

    I have followed some instructions on how to add a sidebar from a couple of sources, but I cannot get it to work.

    In the functions.php file I added the following:

    'register_sidebar(array(
    'name' => __('Right Sidebar', 'appliance'),
    'id' => 'right-sidebar',
    'description' => __('Appears as the sidebar on the custom homepage', 'appliance'),
    'before_widget' => '',
    'after_widget' => '</div>',
    'before_title' => '<h2>',
    'after_title' => '</h2><div class="content">',
    ));'
    I then added a file called sidebar-right.php containing the following code:
    
    '<div id="sidebar">
    
    <ul>
          <?php
          if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('right-sidebar') ) :
          endif; ?>
       </ul>
    </div>'
    Finally I edited the page.php file and added the following code:
    
    '<?php if(is_active_sidebar('right-sidebar')) : ?>
    <div id="sidebar">
    
    <ul>
    <?php dynamic_sidebar('right-sidebar'); ?>
    </ul>
    </div>
    <?php endif; ?>'

    When I add widgets to the sidebar nothing displays.

    Can anyone tell me where I’m going wrong please?

    Thanks,

    Lindsay`
