 * I’m trying to achieve to show different classes depending on active sidebars 
   for self-explanatory reasons.
 * I’m using the following code:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_active_sidebar('lt') && is_active_sidebar('rt')) { ?>
   
         <div class="grid_6 eqh">
   
       <?php } elseif ( !is_active_sidebar('lt') || !is_active_sidebar('rt')) { ?>
   
         <div class="grid_9 eqh">
   
       <?php } elseif ( !is_active_sidebar('lt') && !is_active_sidebar('rt')) { ?>
   
         <div class="grid_12 eqh">
   
       <?php }; ?>
       ```
   
 * But it doesn’t really work. It works if none of the sidebars are active, it displays
   the grid_12 class, if the right sidebar (rt) is active and the left one (lt) 
   isn’t it still works, but couldn’t get it to display the grid_9 class if the 
   left is active and the right isn’t. Could someone point me in the right direction,
   or at least tell me what I’m doing wrong?
 * Any help is appreciated.
