Perfect. Thanks esmi 🙂

Wow man, thank you so much. Looks perfect now. I did purposely put the header at 70% because if I didn’t the right sidebar ends up sitting on top of it but I’m sure I can push it down some so we don’t have that problem.

So, do you have paypal…I think I owe you 🙂

Wow, you rock man. I set it all up per your instructions and it looks great. One question though: where do I tell the left sidebar to not scroll? I know we’ve been through this before but under the sliding-navigation part if I set it to anything but relative the whole left sidebar disappears. The whole thing does move up and down like the right sidebar, but then if you hover over it and scroll it scrolls within the sidebar.

That is what I have in for my 2nd sidebar. Here’s my full sidebar2.php :

‘<div class=”widgetbar”>
<div class=”sc_menu2″>

<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

</div>
</div>
‘

No sense in killing yourself buddy, I know I can’t function very well on only 3 hours of sleep 🙁

Ok, I can’t remember at this point exactly how I figured it out but here’s what I ended up putting in my functions.php file:

‘if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘sidebar1’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<li id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ”,
‘before_title’ => ”,
‘after_title’ => ”,
));

if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘sidebar2’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<li id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ”,
‘before_title’ => ”,
‘after_title’ => ”,
));
‘

Then I added them to the index.php file. They both show up on the widgets page, and sidebar1 shows up as it had before, but sidebar2 isn’t showing up, I’m supposing because I have to write into style.css where and how to display it. That’s where I’m stuck.

Oh, and on a side note, even though I’ve removed the sidebar.php file, it is still listed and can be edited in the editor page. Strange…

I don’t know man, I think it has to do with the functions.php file because that’s the error I keep getting. It keeps pointing at the last line of the file telling me it has an unexpected $end. Here’s what my functions.php file looks after I’ve modified it:

‘<?php

//Custom Theme Settings

if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebars’) ) {
register_sidebars(1, array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Primary Sidebar’),
‘description’ => __( ‘Area One Primary Sidebar’ ),
‘before_title’ => ”,
‘after_title’ => ”,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<li id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ”
) );

register_sidebars(1, array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Secondary Sidebar’),
‘description’ => __( ‘Area Two Secondary Sidebar’ ),
‘before_title’ => ”,
‘after_title’ => ”,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<li id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ”
) );

add_theme_support( ‘automatic-feed-links’ );

register_nav_menus( array(
‘primary’ => __( ‘Primary Navigation’, ‘valentine’ ),
) );

if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) $content_width = 640;

if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( “comment-reply” );

add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );

?>’

I don’t understand what’s wrong with the last line. If you start the file with <?php you have to end it with ?>. It has to be something in those two register sidebars functions because that’s the only thing I’ve changed from the original functions.php.

Sorry if I’m blatently doing something wrong, web coding obviously isn’t my strong point.

So after I update the functions.php file per the above instructions, I get thr following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in D:\Hosting\7241839\html\wp-content\themes\valentine\functions.php on line 36

Line 36 is just “?>”. I’m assuming this has something to do with your comment about making sure that endif is closed properly. Most of my programming experience is with lisp which doesn’t require endif statements so I’m a little lost as to what exactly I should put in there.
