How to widgetize your theme in Wordpress
/* Posted May 5th, 2008 at 10:52am *//* Filed under Blogging, Programming */
/* */
Make a file called functions.php in your theme directory. (if you don’t have one yet)
Add the following code and save the file:
if ( function_exists(’register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘before_widget’ => â€,
‘after_widget’ => â€,
‘before_title’ => ‘‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘
‘,
));
?>
Then add the following anywhere you want to add dynamic widgets:
< ?php if ( !function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>< ?php endif; ?>
You can actually put your existing code within the if loop OR you can also put it before or after.
Since I didn’t want to widgetize all existing stuff, I simply put it after all my existing code in my sidebar.
You can also create multiple dynamic widget locations simply by add numbers to the code like this:
< ?php if ( !function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?>< ?php endif; ?>
