(TUTORIAL) How To Add Sidebar On Wordpress

The first step is add that sidebar we will make in file functions.php.Enter the script in below in to file functions.php
<?php if(function_exists(‘register_sidebars’))register_sidebars(2); ?>
The number 2 in script so that 2 sidebar,and for adding change the number be 3 or 4 up to you.Then Update file,and now we make the file php.Make via cpanel on directory/public_html/wp_content/themes/(nameyourthemes) with click new file.Make file with extension is .php,example new_sidebar.php then fill that file with code in below:
<div><ul><?php if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(3) ) : else : ?> <?php endif; ?> </ul></div>
Adjust the number (3) the amount that you will create a sidebar,then save the file.After that we just edit the files template as index.php, single.php, page.php.Add this code in below to call the new sidebar file:
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/ sidebar_baru.php’); ?>
Sometimes there is a different template contents file function.php.For example like this:
<?php if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => ‘Sidebar-1′,<br /> ‘before_widget’ => ",<br /> ‘after_widget’ => ", ‘before_title’ => ‘<h2>’,<br /> ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,<br /> ));<br /> ?>
If as is usually the only themes hava a file sidebar.php containing some sidebar.Actually, we can change the file functions.php become such a way earlier but more hassle of having to divide the sidebar file becoming fragmented.Should we just edit the file functions.php.
Copypaste sidebar code at the bottom it
looks like:
<?php if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => ‘Sidebar-1′,<br /> ‘before_widget’ => ",<br /> ‘after_widget’ => ", ‘before_title’ => ‘<h2>’,<br /> ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,<br /> ));<br /> if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )<br /> register_sidebar(array(<br /> ‘name’ => ‘Sidebar-2′, ‘before_widget’ => ",<br /> ‘after_widget’ => ",<br /> ‘before_title’ => ‘<h2>’,<br /> ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,<br /> ));<br /> ?>
Don't forget for change the name that sidebar(that red colour),click update file or save.And nowwe open sidebar.php file.If before we have installed the widget on the
sidebar there is a long time it will be many
widget code. But about the contents of the
main code is like this:
<div class=”sidebar-1“><ul><?php if ( !function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(”Sidebar-1“) ) : ?> <?php endif; ?> </ul></div><!– /sidebar-1 –><br />
Copypaste live in below sidebar old code
and change the name sidebarnya, it looks
like:
<div class="sidebar-1"><ul><?php if ( !function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(”Sidebar-1“) ) : ?> <?php endif; ?> </ul></div><!– /sidebar-1 –> <div class="sidebar-2"><ul><?php if ( !function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(”Sidebar-2“) ) : ?> <?php endif; ?> </ul></div><!– /sidebar-2 –>

in the code above)
