    I don’t know what other documentation to provide to make this easier – I’m not familiar with the errors I’m getting or how to debug them, unfortunately.

    Thank you very much, Mark, you put me on the right path. That half-worked, and through process of elimination, got to the bottom of it all: apparently the API for naming an ID requires that it’s a string and that it starts with a letter. So you were right: naming it that helped, however we had to put it inside double quotes for it to work.
    It now looks like this:

    if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
	register_sidebar(array(
		'name' => 'testimonials',
		'id' => "sidebar-1",
		'before_widget' => '',
		'after_widget' => '',
		'before_title' => '<h4>',
		'after_title' => '</h4>',
	));
	register_sidebar(array(
		'name' => 'Customers Hunting',
		'id' => "sidebar-2",
		'before_widget' => '',
		'after_widget' => '',
		'before_title' => '<h4>',
		'after_title' => '</h4>',
	));

    And works like a charm. So it seems the answer is to have it inside double quotes and to start with a letter.

    Thanks a lot Mark, this was scary and VERY annoying, haha, I’m glad to have it worked out. Sure hope it helps someone else in the future.
