 * Hello everybody, I have this code [on pastebin](http://pastebin.com/kNXCCJx9)
   and I’m trying to make it work..
 * if I comment out the `is_active_sidebar` part and print the $count value it returns“
   3” as it should, but if I go for the `is_active_sidebar` (and comment out the
   first `$count++` of course) and I’m sure all 3 widget areas are active it returns“
   1” no matter what I do..
 * Do you see something wrong??
 * thanks in advance!! 🙂

 * `is_active_sidebar()` must be returning `false`. That suggests that your sidebar
   names are wrong or that you are running the function before the sidebars have
   been initialized. There may be other possibilities as well but those are the 
   ones that come to my mind. Try putting this at the very top of your function 
   and see what you get:
 *     ```
       global $wp_registered_sidebars;
       var_dump($wp_registered_sidebars);
       ```

 * thanks for your reply apljdi, I have to apologize, it was my mistake since I 
   wasn’t passing the correct ids of my sidebars, so `is_active_sidebar()` was obviously
   returning false..
 * The function works well, so thanks again and sorry for all the noise.. 😉
