Customize output of sidebar widgets

    The dynamic sidebar widget of the default theme is generating …

    <ul>
<li class="widget"></li>
<li class="widget"></li>
</ul>

    I need to change it to be …

    <ul>
<li class="widget">
<div class="widgettop"></div>
<div class="widgetbody"></div>
</li>
<li class="widget">
<div class="widgettop"></div>
<div class="widgetbody"></div>
</li>
</ul>

    Where to alter the PHP code? I can not find in sidebar.php nor in the wp-include/widget.php.

    Is there way to overwrite wp-include/widget.php by putting a file in the custom theme directory?

  • Yes, in your functions.php file. Here’s two places to read up on it, and a sample bit of code:

    if (function_exists('register_sidebar'))
{
    register_sidebar(array(
              'before_widget' => '',
              'after_widget' => '</div>',
              'before_title' => '<h2>',
              'after_title' => '</h2>'
     ));
}

    what if you want to do this for just one widget within the dynamic sidebar, and not all? (f.e. tagcloud)
