Title: Dynamic_sidebar() question Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Dynamic_sidebar() question * Resolved [Craigbavender](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craigbavender/) * (@craigbavender) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/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: * `` * 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’?

It is the current default WordPress theme and having access to an original, unedited, copy of the theme is vital in many situations.
