When adding widgets, the CSS coding is lost.

Thanks so much for replying.

Looking over the page I’m seeing two things.

One, this line of code:

<?php register_sidebar( $args ); ?>

Am I putting that in my sidebar.php?

Also, next on my to-do list is to add a second sidebar to the right side of my blog (current theme has a sidebar only on the left), do I need to change the code to account for that?

Second it the default values:

<?php $args = array(
    'name'          => sprintf(__('Sidebar %d'), $i ),
    'id'            => 'sidebar-$i',
    'description'   => '',
    'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
    'after_widget'  => '</li>',
    'before_title'  => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
    'after_title'   => '</h2>' ); ?>

I’m guessing this is where I’m distinctive about the setting, etc.

Where do I put this code, and how would I integrate the CSS from my first post into it?

Thanks so much!

Sorry I’m not really clear on how to do it.

I’m noticing the code is in PHP.

How do I use this to make sure any added widgets use a certain CSS class?

So I would copy and paste this into my functions.php?

<?php $args = array(
    'name'          => sprintf(__('Sidebar %d'), $i ),
    'id'            => 'sidebar-$i',
    'description'   => '',
    'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="BlockContent %2$s">',
    'after_widget'  => '</li>',
    'before_title'  => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
    'after_title'   => '</h2>' ); ?>

Right now this is all my functions.php has in it, what do I replace and/or where should I paste the code?

<?php

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )

    register_sidebar();

?>

…and that’s it? That’s all I’d need to do?

Hmm, I did that, but now when I add a widget in the admin area, it doesn’t change on the page.

Did I need to put <?php register_sidebar( $args ); ?> somewhere?

The link to the page is dev.hesedbooksandgifts.com

Yea, I’m going to be adding a second sidebar to the site once I figure out the widgets issue.

The filename is sidebar-right.php. Here’s it’s code (I think it’s just a copy of sidebar.php):

<div class="Left">

<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar2() ) : else : ?>

    <br />
    <div class="BlockContent">
    <h2><?php _e('Calendar'); ?></h2>
        <?php get_calendar(); ?>
    </div>
    <br />
    <div class="BlockContent">
    <?php wp_list_pages('depth=3&title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>'); ?>
    </div>
    <br />
    <div class="BlockContent">
    <h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2>

    <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>
    </div>
    <br />
    <div class="BlockContent">
    <h2><?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>

            <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
    </div>
    <br />
    <div class="BlockContent">
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>
    </div>
    <br />
    <div class="BlockContent">
    <h2><?php _e('Meta'); ?></h2>

           <?php wp_register(); ?>
        <?php wp_loginout(); ?>
        <?php wp_meta(); ?>
    </div>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>
