Astra Child Theme Widgets

Hello,

I am trying to build a custom Astra Child theme. I am trying to add 2 extra widget areas to my theme.

In the fuctions.php file I have these:

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {

	register_sidebar(array(
		'name' => 'Info Box Left',
		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</div>',
		'before_title' => '<h2>',
		'after_title' => '</h2>'
	));
	register_sidebar(array(
		'name' => 'Info Box Right',
		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</div>',
		'before_title' => '<h2>',
		'after_title' => '</h2>'
	));

};

However this only shows the Info Box Right in the WordPress widget admin area. I have to add a a dummy widget before these for the to both show up. It’s as if the first widget is not getting registered but the ones after it are.

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {

	register_sidebar(array(
		'name' => 'Fake Widget',
		'before_widget' => '',
		'after_widget' => '',
		'before_title' => '',
		'after_title' => ''
	));
	register_sidebar(array(
		'name' => 'Topbar Left',
		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</div>',
		'before_title' => '<h2>',
		'after_title' => '</h2>'
	));
	register_sidebar(array(
		'name' => 'Topbar Right',
		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</div>',
		'before_title' => '<h2>',
		'after_title' => '</h2>'
	));

};

Anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks
