# Widget Exceptions

 * Have a strange need on a project I’m working with.
 * In the functions.php form I have special styling/enclosure for the sidebar widgets:
 * <?php
    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) register_sidebar(array( ‘before_widget’
   => ‘<div class=”myclass”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h2
   class=”widgettitle”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’, )); ?>
 * So I have a Widget that I’m using on all pages in the same sidebar section. The
   difference is that I want to use a different enclosure around that specific widget.
   How can I do a conditional using the widget name, or what are my options?
 * Example that I’d change it to would be:
 * <?php
    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) register_sidebar(array( ‘before_widget’
   => ‘<div class=”myclass2″>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<
   h2 class=”widgettitle”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’, )); ?>
