Sidebar widget not showing up
-
I’m trying to add a 2nd sidebar. I followed all the instructions to install the widget and add it as a second sidebar. But when I save it, it doesn’t show on the web site.
My theme is Twenty Thirteen.
I’m pretty clueless about wordpress, but if there’s a file in there that I need to change, I can do that. I’m not a stranger to CSS and html.

What do you mean second sidebar? The Twenty Thirteen theme registers two sidebars: primary and secondary.
What instructions did you follow?
I followed the instructions for the Image Widget.
When the site was first created it had 2 sidebars. I got rid of one (the one that shows blog posts) because I got rid of the blog. Now I want to have a 2nd sidebar again with an image that links to another site. I filled in the 2nd sidebar info and saved it, but it’s not showing up.
Do you have this in sidebar.php?
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-2' ) ) : ?> <div id="tertiary" class="sidebar-container" role="complementary"> <div class="sidebar-inner"> <div class="widget-area"> <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-2' ); ?> </div><!-- .widget-area --> </div><!-- .sidebar-inner --> </div><!-- #tertiary --> <?php endif; ?>And this should be in your functions.php
register_sidebar( array( 'name' => __( 'Secondary Widget Area', 'twentythirteen' ), 'id' => 'sidebar-2', 'description' => __( 'Appears on right sidebar.', 'twentythirteen' ), 'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</aside>', 'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">', 'after_title' => '</h3>', ) );Oh my. This is gonna take awhile to check, and I have a client coming in a few minutes. I’ll dig into it this afternoon and let you know. In any case, thanks for the assistance!
Btw, I forgot to put my site url: http://www.myownhair.net
befranga, I just wanted to get back to you and let you know that I’m still going to try your fix… hopefully tonight. My internet connection has been down since Saturday, and I just now got back online.
Befranga, adding your code to the sidebar.php solved the problem!
Thank you thank you thank you!
