I need to call a sidebar into my header. I’ve switched to the new twenty twelve theme and created my own child theme. With this new theme I decided to keep things organised and together, so I put my widgets functions, stylesheet and two new sidebar templates (one for header and one for footer widgets) in one folder called pgwidgets
.
This is the call i used in my header
<? if ( is_front_page() ) : ?>
<?php get_sidebar( 'homepage' ) ; ?>
<?php endif ; ?>
This calls the sidebar-homepage.php
file into my header from the themes’ root directory. How do I change the get_sidebar( 'homepage' )
part to call the sidebar from the pgwidgets folderfolder (pgwidgets/sidebar-homepage.php
)
Impossible with
get_sidebar()
.From that functionâs body:
So if you pass a
$name
or any other custom value to the function, they will be set between two fixed strings.You can use
locate_template()
instead:
