I meant ad…

I just found the answer to my question. It’s a plugin called “Conditional Widgets”.
Thanks!

I found it!!! I installed the plugin “Conditional Widgets”

Will this help:

if(function_exists(‘register_sidebar’)) {
foreach((array)(get_categories()) as $category) {
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘Categorie : ‘ .$category->cat_name,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” class=”%2$s widget”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widget-title”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’, ));
}

foreach((array)(get_pages()) as $page) {
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘Page : ‘ .$page->post_name,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” class=”%2$s widget”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widget-title”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’, ));
}
}

I added this to functions.php but I can’t seem to find it back on the back end anywhere?

I have looked at this plugin before. When I activate it though, my site goes into error. This is what is says:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /var/www/vhtdocs/userweb51311/html/wp-content/plugins/widget-logic/widget_logic.php(169) : eval()’d code on line 1 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /var/www/vhtdocs/userweb51311/html/wp-content/plugins/widget-logic/widget_logic.php(169) : eval()’d code on line 1

My next step would possibly be:

‘custom’ would mean you have to create a custom sidebar-file under the name sidebar-custom.php. Sidebars get indexed. Your default sidebar (sidebar.php) gets indexed as 1. Every succeeding one will have an index higher than 1. You will see your sidebars now listed in ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Widgets’.

I don’t understand this, could anyone explain in layman terms? THANKS!

Yes, I added that ?> after it. Okay, it worked, I can see my widget page (the back end)… But I still don’t see how I can use it, I mean, I was hoping that in the widget (for example a text widget) I would be able to scroll down and it would tell me where I want this specific text to go, under which category.

I put in;

if ( function_exists ('register_sidebar')) {
    register_sidebar ('custom');
}

[Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button.]

in the functions.php (or should I have put it in the widgets.php?) and again error message. Can I just put it on the bottom?

Great, I found it, when I add

<?php if ( function_exists ('register_sidebar')) {
    register_sidebar ('custom');
} ?>

[Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button.]

to my functions.php (at the bottom), I can’t even get to my widgets anymore, there is an error message. It would be great if someone could help me put a certain code somewhere. i really appreciate the help.

Thanks! The problem is that I can’t find the functions or sidebar php in my FTP. Can you help me find it?

I downloaded both and activated it, I’m not any wiser.. With Ctrl-C’s plugin it deleted all my current texts under the categories (that I still had from my WhiteHouse theme) and the Widget Logic, I have no idea what to do with it.

Thanks Chip, you have been incredibly helpful. THANKS!

I guess the only other question I have is if I can only change my theme to the ones that are listed under themes which are: twenty ten, WhiteHouse, WordPress Classic and WordPress default?
I would like to search for a better match unless I’m unable to change my them to it.
Thanks!

Thank you, our server said they have done everything they could, using the last back up, but the problem was still there. I think we’re just going to go with another theme. Thank you so much for your help. At least we’ve done everything we can it seems. Who needs Whitehouse anyway!

aha! This is what I got:
