Home › Forums › Gillion Theme › Adding custom sidebars
Hello,
I’m trying to add custom sidebars into the theme with the same IDs that I’m using with another theme so that when I transfer to this new theme, the references in other areas of wordpress will still honor the same sidebar. I can’t seem to do this though. I’ve used the following:
function my_custom_sidebar() {
register_sidebar(
array (
‘name’ => __( ‘Affiliate Disclosure’, ‘your-theme-domain’ ),
‘id’ => ‘gp-affiliate-disclosure’,
‘description’ => __( ‘Affiliate disclosure sidebar for top of posts’, ‘your-theme-domain’ ),
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”widget-content”>’,
‘after_widget’ => “</div>”,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widget-title”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,
)
);
}
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘my_custom_sidebar’ );
Where, gp-affiliate-disclosure is the id that’s referenced in other areas of my site.
Could you help and provide the function(s) to add multiple custom sidebars to the functions.php of the gillion child theme so that I can easily create and reference the same sidebars as I do today with my other theme?
Thanks
