• Hi All,

    I have recently created a child theme from my parent ‘founder’, the functions.php currently has the following code

    <?php
    // Exit if accessed directly
    if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) exit;

    // BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
    // AUTO GENERATED – Do not modify or remove comment markers above or below:

    if ( !function_exists( ‘chld_thm_cfg_parent_css’ ) ):
    function chld_thm_cfg_parent_css() {
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘chld_thm_cfg_parent’, trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . ‘style.css’ );
    }
    endif;
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘chld_thm_cfg_parent_css’ );

    // END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION

    I am trying to add the following code in order to add another sidebar

    <?php
    add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘child_register_sidebar’ );

    function child_register_sidebar(){
    register_sidebar(array(
    ‘name’ => ‘Sidebar 2’,
    ‘id’ => ‘sidebar-2’,
    ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
    ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
    ‘before_title’ => ‘<h4 class=”widgettitle”>’,
    ‘after_title’ => ‘</h4>’,
    ));
    }
    ?>

    However whereever i seem to add it in the functions.php file it corrupts the website so it will no longer display and I get a server error 500

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks
