Is the right sidebar widget-ready? It would have to be registered in the functions.php of your theme.
I dont think it is, the only widget ready area is the footer area (I can drag and drop widgets to this area).
I have placed the code of the fucntions.php file in here:

I would like to do the same.
sidebar.php include this friendly note:
‘<?php /* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */
if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-widget-area’ ) ) : ?>’
But I’m not sure which “plugin” to “install” or how.
I spotted this note too. In the end I was actually looking for a plugin called ´widgetized sidebar´, which doesnt exist… this plugin remains a mystery.
Widgetized sidebars haven’t required a Plugin for several major versions of WordPress.
What Theme are you using?
I see the problem.
In sidebar.php:
if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-widget-area' ) ) :
But the Theme doesn’t register this dynamic sidebar in functions.php; rather, it only registers the footer widget area:
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Footer Widget Area' ),
'id' => 'footer-widget-area',
'description' => __( 'The footer widget area' ),
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '',
'after_title' => '',
) );
This is a bug. I would contact the developer, and request that he fix it.
Has anyone figured this out yet?
Yes? I has anyone contact the developer for the fix?
Negative. Would be a great feature, but I needed it immediately.
The quick fix is to add the needed code. Locate the file functions.php and search for the register_sidebar, which is registering the widget for the footer area. Now underneath of this function just add:
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Right Widget Area' ),
'id' => 'sidebar-widget-area',
'description' => __( 'The right widget area' ),
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '',
'after_title' => '',
) );
