Im trying to add a 3 column page, I was able to add sidebar2 to the widgets section. The problem is that when I add the second sidebar to the content-sidebar-right.php page I dont see the sidebar2 content on the page. here is the code

<?php

/**

* This is the template that displays page/post with right sidebar

*

* @package Catch Themes

* @subpackage Simple_Catch

* @since Simple Catch 1.3.2

*/

?>

<div id=”main” class=”layout-978″>

<div id=”content” class=”col4 no-margin-left”>

<?php while ( have_posts() ):the_post();

if( function_exists( ‘simplecatch_loop’) ) simplecatch_loop();

?>

<div class=”row-end”></div>

<?php comments_template(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</div><!– #content –>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar2(); ?>

</div><!– #main –>

Thanks

@jencinas: You need to register the sidebar first and then only edit the code. But do this by building the child theme don’t edit the theme itself.

I created sidebar2.php based on sidebar.php. Also I created sidebar2 funcion on the function.php page.

<?php

/**

* The Sidebar containing the main widget area.

*

* @package Catch Themes

* @subpackage Simple_Catch

* @since Simple Catch 1.0

*/

global $post;

if( $post )

$layout = get_post_meta( $post->ID,’simplecatch-sidebarlayout’, true );

if( empty( $layout ) || ( !is_page() && !is_single() ) )

$layout=’default’;

global $simplecatch_options_settings;

$options = $simplecatch_options_settings;

$themeoption_layout = $options[‘sidebar_layout’];

if( $layout==’left-sidebar’ ||( $layout==’default’ && $themeoption_layout == ‘left-sidebar’) ) {

echo ‘<div id=”sidebar2″ class=”col4 no-margin-left”>’;

} else {

echo ‘<div id=”sidebar2″ class=”col4″>’;

}

if ( function_exists( ‘dynamic_sidebar’ ) ) {

//displays ‘sidebar’ for all pages

dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar2′ );

}

?>

</div><!– #sidebar –>

<?php

if(!( $layout==’left-sidebar’ ||( $layout==’default’ && $themeoption_layout == ‘left-sidebar’) ) ) {

echo ‘<div class=”row-end”></div>’;

}

/**

* Register sidebars and widget areas.

*/

function sidebar2() {

register_widget( ‘CustomTagWidget’ );

register_sidebar( array(

‘name’ => __( ‘sidebar2’, ‘simplecatch’ ),

‘id’ => ‘sidebar2’,

‘description’ => __( ‘sidebar2’, ‘simplecatch’ ),

‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”widget”>’,

‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,

‘before_title’ => ‘<h3>’,

‘after_title’ => ‘</h3><hr/>’

) );

}

add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘sidebar2’ );

I can see the sidebar2 widget on the widgets page on the admin site, but I cannot see the widget added to sidebar2 on the page.

@jencinas: Send me your child theme zip file and then I will look at it.
