 * Hey ,
 * I need your help to add a sidebar to my wordpress theme , I added this code to
   my functions.php and I see the new widget area in my widget menu screen but I
   cant see the widget working in the front end of my website .
 *     ```
       register_sidebar(array(
       		'name'=> 'Left Sidebar',
       		'id' => 'left_sidebar',
       		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
       		'after_widget' => '',
       		'before_title' => '<h3>',
       		'after_title' => '</h3>',
       ```
