 * Hello WordPress.org. I have a theme I love the visual look of, I’ve made some
   modifications.
 * I want to widgetize my theme. I’m using 2.2. I tried making recommended changes
   to the sidebar as suggested on automattic.com, but no dice.
 * Can someone help please?
 * I will post my sidebar text in below. Thank you for any help.
 *     ```
       <div id="menu">
   
       <?php /*********************************
   
       <ul>
        if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
               || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
   
       <li><h2 class="sidebar">Titel</h2>
       <ul>
       <li>Inhalt</li>
       </ul>
       </li>
       <?php endif; 
   
       </ul>
       ************************************** /?>	
   
       <?php /* -- Blogbeschreibung -- */
       if (function_exists('sirius_blogbeschreibunganzeige')) { sirius_blogbeschreibunganzeige();} ?>
   
       <?php /* -- Kalender -- */
       if (function_exists('sirius_kalender')) { sirius_kalender();} ?>
   
       <?php /* -- Kategorien -- */
       if (function_exists('sirius_kategorien')) { sirius_kategorien();} ?>
   
       <?php /* -- Suche -- */
       if (function_exists('sirius_suche')) { sirius_suche();} ?>
   
       <?php /* -- Letze Kommentare -- */
       if (function_exists('sirius_kommentare')) { sirius_kommentare();} ?>
   
       <?php /* -- Seiten -- */
       if (function_exists('sirius_seiten')) { sirius_seiten();} ?>
   
       <?php /* -- Blogroll -- */
       if (function_exists('sirius_blogroll')) { sirius_blogroll();} ?>
   
       <?php  /* -- Archiv -- */
       if (function_exists('sirius_archiv')) { sirius_archiv();} ?>
   
       <?php  /* -- Feeds -- */
       if (function_exists('sirius_feeds')) { sirius_feeds();} ?>
   
       <?php  /* -- Meta -- */
       if (function_exists('sirius_meta')) { sirius_meta();} ?>
   
       </div>
       ```

 * 1. Learn how to post code…
    2. Duplicate post: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/118847?replies=6](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/118847?replies=6)
   3. You probably didn’t read carefully the article about widgetizing. (it has 
   been given you several times in other threads) 4. In your code above the only“
   widget-like” portion is the Titel. Nothing else. If that’s waht you want, then
   it’s fine.

 * moshu,
 * 1. Had you given even a modicum of thought to your irritable message before posting,
   it might have occurred to you that the reason I made several posts on this topic,
   each well-intentioned and politely stated, is that I have not resolved my issue.
   Are you incapable of this kind of inference (your post is poorly written and 
   contains several spelling errors), or just lazy about thinking it through?
 * 2. I read the automattic article on the issue several times, and experimented
   for some time with modifications to my sidebar code. Web articles like this (
   again, I am speaking here to an intelligence that may well be beyond you), though
   very helpful as starting points, are by nature generalized, and cannot speak 
   to every issue a layperson will encounter. Hence, moshu- web forums. And web 
   moderators.
 * Incidentally, I clicked a single post of yours at random, and you had a similarly
   prissy, critical message for the person who posted that thread. You will likely
   say you are trying to moderate and keep the forum on track, but that is a deception,
   one you first had to get over on yourself. Elitism and negativity are simply 
   not helpful. Ever.
 * Finally, I would like to publicly express my gratitude for all the people who
   have helped me in web forums in the past. They are a wonderful way for people
   to connect with and help other people, and create good karma. Thank you!

 * After a bit of searching, I figured out that you’re using the Sirius theme. I’m
   looking at it now.

 * I think these are correct (have not tested them):
 * The sidebar.php should look like this:
    [http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/525998](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/525998)
 * The functions.php should look like this:
