I can sucesfully get my dynamic sidebar to work like so:
<div class="sidebar sidebar-first">
<ul class="widget-area first">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'pop-photos-sidebar' ); ?>
</ul>
</div>
Now, I’m trying to get the sidebar to work with a different code that is inside a php code. I tried using the above < ?php dynamic_sidebar( 'pop-photos-sidebar' ); ? >
code and it broke my site since the php dynamic_sidebar code is inside another php code. So I tried making a $ function like so:
$newssidebar = dynamic_sidebar( 'pop-news-sidebar' );
echo '<div class="sidebar sidebar-first">
<ul class="widget-area first">
'.$newssidebar.'
</ul>
</div>';
This sucesfully displayed the dynamic side bar “pop-news-sidebar” but.. it is not inside the ul class widget-area first, or inside the div class sidebar sidebar-first. How would I make my dynamic sidebar to properly be displayed in the ul class and div class listed above like it should be? Would I even use echo? I didn’t think it was necessary to paste the full code, but here it is anyways:
<?php
if( fake if code ) {
if( another fake if code ) {
$newssidebar = dynamic_sidebar( 'pop-news-sidebar' );
echo '<div class="sidebar sidebar-first">
<ul class="widget-area first">
'.$newssidebar.'
</ul>
</div>';
}else if( fake else ) {
echo 'some other code';
}
}
?>
Any help would tremendously be appreciated! 🙂
You don’t need to echo
dynamic_sidebar()
. End yourecho
, calldynamic_sidebar()
, and then start a newecho
. To make it easier, just close/reopen your PHP tags:
