Dynamic_sidebar() question

    Hey guys, thanks for reading.

    I understand that dynamic_sidebar() accepts a string parameter what correlates with the sidebar name, for instance here:

    <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'bottombar' ); ?>

    I’m needing to edit ‘bottombar’ but have no idea where to find it. Where is this generally stored in WP’s file structuring? I can’t find documentation that highlights this. Is this within my theme files? Is this in the admin? Where do I find the html to edit sidebar ‘bottombar’?

    What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

    Do not ever edit the Twenty Thirteen theme. It is the current default WordPress theme and having access to an original, unedited, copy of the theme is vital in many situations. First create a child theme for your changes.

    Oh please, lecture someone else.

    This didn’t answer my question either.

    Before posting again, I suggest you review the Forum_Welcome – with special reference to section 1.17.

    FYI, none of the regulars here will be willing to assist you in editing the current default WP theme when we are the very people who get called upon to clear up the mess that such edits cause.

    Good luck with your theme.

    Why did you delete my post? I am still looking for this answer.

    I’m not insulting you, please don’t start taking my support queries as insults.

    I just want to get support for my question. If there is a better forum for me to post my question, where should I? I tried posting it into another thread since my question apparently isn’t welcome here, but it appears to be deleted as well.

    It was not a duplicate topic, it had additional information to help my question be answered.

    If you have any help to give me or where else I should post this question, please point me in the right direction, thanks.

    It was a duplicate topic. Please continue with this topic – although it would help if you tried to listen to the answers you were given and not try to bite the hand of anyone trying to help you.

    If I post this question again in another sub forum, will it be deleted? Perhaps another section will be a better fit for my question.

    will it be deleted?

    Yes. It will be classed as a duplicate topic. Please continue with this topic and please refrain from unnecessary comments.

    Is it possible for this thread to be deleted and for me to post a non-duplicate question in another forum? I ask because I’m afraid this topic has been destroyed by unnecessary comments.
