sidebar.php if, else if, else php

When nesting if-statements I suggest you use curly braces instead that makes the code a lot more readable. This will probably fix whatever syntax error is in there.

if ( is_front_page() ) {
	if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || dynamic_sidebar('homesidebar') ) {
	}
}
elseif ( is_page(Blog) ) {
	if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar1') ) {
	}
}
else {
	if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('othersidebar') ) {
	}
}

is_page(Blog)

is supposed to be

is_page( ‘Blog’ )

Thanks. I figured it out, but would like to use the syntax as you do.

So do I need to proceed it with:
<?php
What dotnordic showed in your post
and end with
: ?>

Here’s How I fixed it. I was missing the end if statements

<div id="sidebar1" class="fluid-sidebar sidebar span4" role="complementary">
 <?php if ( is_page('Blog') ) : ?>
       <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar1') ) : ?><?php endif ; ?>

 <?php elseif (is_page()) : ?>
      <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('othersidebar') ) : ?> <?php endif ; ?>

  <?php else : ?>
<!-- This content shows up if there are no widgets defined in the backend. -->
  <div class="alert alert-message">
<p><?php _e("Please activate some Widgets","bonestheme"); ?>.</p>
  </div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

The problem I am still having is that the sidebar is getting the fluid sidebar css that is making it 30% width, but them it is doing it again for the widgets.

for formatting problems, please post a link to the site.

btw:

this part is redundant in all sidebar codes, and can easily be omitted:

!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') ||

(because the function was introduced about wp2.2, i.e. many versions ago)

I’m sorry I am not adept with php. Can you tell me what/where I do with this: “!function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) ||”

you can leave it where it is – it won’t do any harm, it is just redundand;

or remove it like:

<div id="sidebar1" class="fluid-sidebar sidebar span4" role="complementary">
 <?php if ( is_page('Blog') ) : ?>
       <?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar1') ) : ?><?php endif ; ?>

 <?php elseif (is_page()) : ?>
      <?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar('othersidebar') ) : ?> <?php endif ; ?>

  <?php else : ?>
<!-- This content shows up if there are no widgets defined in the backend. -->
  <div class="alert alert-message">
<p><?php _e("Please activate some Widgets","bonestheme"); ?>.</p>
  </div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

Thanks!
