Hello,
I just did another test and it works but of course you need to be careful where you place it or it’ll look funny. Here’s example for TwentyEleven sidebar placement using PHP, just replace sidebar.php with:
<?php
/**
* The Sidebar containing the main widget area.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Eleven
* @since Twenty Eleven 1.0
*/
$options = twentyeleven_get_theme_options();
$current_layout = $options['theme_layout'];
if ( 'content' != $current_layout ) :
?>
<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>
<aside id="archives" class="widget">
<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e( 'Archives', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives( array( 'type' => 'monthly' ) ); ?>
</ul>
</aside>
<aside id="meta" class="widget">
<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e( 'Meta', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
</ul>
</aside>
<aside id="chat" class="widget">
<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e( 'Chat', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>
<?php echo quick_chat(400, 'default', 1, 'top', 0, 0, 1, 1, 1); ?>
</aside>
<?php endif; // end sidebar widget area ?>
</div><!-- #secondary .widget-area -->
<?php endif; ?>
The result works and looks like this:
