Title: Multiple siderbars not loading correctly Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Multiple siderbars not loading correctly * [Symhome](https://wordpress.org/support/users/symhome/) * (@symhome) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-siderbars-not-loading-correctly/) * I am trying to create a separate widgitized sidebar to be displayed on my pages. I am utilizing theme constructor 0.8.1. * Basically the problem that I am experiencing is getting the additional sidebar to locate it’s self in the correct location. * I found this support ticket ([http://wordpress.org/support/topic/111551?replies=20#post-537055](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/111551?replies=20#post-537055)) that allowed me to edit my functions.php file and that works correctly. Like this; * ``` if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) { register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar', 'before_widget' => '
  • ', 'after_widget' => '
    • ', 'before_title' => '

    ', 'after_title' => '

    ', )); register_sidebar(array('name'=>'front', 'before_widget' => '
  • ', 'after_widget' => '
    • ', 'before_title' => '

    ', 'after_title' => '

    ', )); } ``` * I created my additional sidebar-front.php file and added the necessary code as shown in the ticket. * ``` ``` * So where my troubles are is with the necessary code to be place on my page template file (template-front.php) which is copied from the original template files. I used the following codex page information ([http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Your_Sidebar](http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Your_Sidebar)). * I first tried this code; `` Nothing happened. The page was still referencing the default sidebar. * Then I tried this code; `` Now this code brings in the correct sidebar, however the location is wrong. Instead of in the right hand column, it ends up at the bottom of the page just about the footer on the far left. * So then I tried the following code; * ``` ``` * Same thing happened as the “include” command. * What is a little different with this theme is the get_sidebar commend is slightly different. `` Now I am unsure of why the _constructor is in there. But if you remove it, the sidebar does not show up at all, and just adding ‘front’ does not call up my alternate sidebar. * So if anyone has any incites, in how can get this to work, it would be greatly appreciated.

Anyways I have the functions.php set up correctly. It is calling the sidebars into the template file that is not working correctly and I have already tried the code you posted which did not work. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-siderbars-not-loading-correctly/#post-1424518) * Sounds like you’re using a Constructor theme – in which case you’ll need to locate and examine the get_constructor_sidebar() function within the theme’s files. * Thread Starter [Symhome](https://wordpress.org/support/users/symhome/) * (@symhome) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-siderbars-not-loading-correctly/#post-1424537) * I am using a constructor theme. Any idea where I would look? Would it be the style sheet or the css file? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-siderbars-not-loading-correctly/#post-1424691) * It will be within a .php file. * [cornetjr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cornetjr/) * (@cornetjr) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-siderbars-not-loading-correctly/#post-1424803) * * “constructor_sidebar.php” is the name of a file. Sounds like a css problem. * [carolwingert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carolwingert/) * (@carolwingert) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-siderbars-not-loading-correctly/#post-1424815) * my side bars load properly when you click on each post, but not when you click on Home, or when the site first comes up. * What do I need to do?
