register new sidebars

[Haynes Cromartie]

How do you register new sidebars in your functions.php?

Thanks,

Good Morning Haynes,

I would use a plugin to do that. There are quite a few out there that let you add in new sidebars. I’ve used Content Aware Sidebars quite a few times to create new ones. That’s the way I would go about adding a new sidebar.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Thanks,
Bill

I was hoping to not use a widget in this instance. I did use the content aware sidebar on hrcromartie.com without any problems but I would still pstill prefer to code it myself.

Thanks,

Haynes and Renee

You’re certainly welcome to hard code in a new widget area. This is the function to create a new widget area:

(Be sure to copy that directly from the support site and not the notification email).

Then to call it in a theme template file, you would use this:

<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'new_sidebar' ) ?>

Have a great day,
Bill
