WordPress 2 Widget sidebars
Ok on David Naylor I hope you noticed the 2 widget sidebars, well here is the code:
in your Theme’s function.php
if (function_exists("register_sidebar")) { register_sidebar(Array("name" => "sidebar")); register_sidebar(Array("name" => "sponsors")); } |
Then in your template to add for column 1
< ?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') or !dynamic_sidebar("sidebar")) { ?> etc.. < ?php } ?> |
and likewise for column 2
< ?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') or !dynamic_sidebar("sponsors")) { ?> etc.. < ?php } ?> |

Hi Dave,
Is there a wordpress plugin you used to display code in this post?, I am new to blogging but want to put code samples up in wordpress.
If you could let me know I’d be much obliged

This is great, but when you say ‘Then in your template to add for column 1′, what template do you mean? Which file do you edit here?
Thanks.

Hy. Thanks for the code.
I had some problems with the template syntax but i managed to solve it/ For others who might experience problems with the column template syntax i suggest just using the sidebar.php syntax for the dynamic_sidebar and change
|| !dynamic_sidebar( )) : ?>
|| !dynamic_sidebar(‘sponsors) ) : ?> or which ever name you chose for your sidebar
