You can use the $wp_registered_sidebars
global variable. Like this:
global $wp_registered_sidebars;
if( is_active_sidebar( 'activity_calendar_en' ) ):
esc_html_e( $wp_registered_sidebars['activity_calendar_en']['name'] );
dynamic_sidebar( 'activity_calendar_en' );
endif;
If you check the WordPress core for is_registered_sidebar
function, you’ll see that it’s using this global variable too:
function is_registered_sidebar( $sidebar_id ) {
global $wp_registered_sidebars;
return isset( $wp_registered_sidebars[ $sidebar_id ] );
}
However, as far as I know, you can’t retrieve it using any function.
Although, for description there is a function: wp_sidebar_description()
. You may use the global variable for description as well, or this function:
if( is_active_sidebar( 'activity_calendar_en' ) ):
echo wp_sidebar_description( 'activity_calendar_en' );
dynamic_sidebar( 'activity_calendar_en' );
endif;
