What you’ll have to do is look at your HTML both before and after adding the widget. Whatever stylesheet (link) appears and disappears is the stylesheet that is giving you the problem. Search the CSS for the .section-heading selector and you will have found your culprit.
You could use the dynamic_sidebar_params filter to do your own substitution. Something like this: add_filter(‘dynamic_sidebar_params’, function($params){ $params[0][‘after_title’] = str_replace( ‘%1$s’, $params[0][‘widget_id’], $params[0][‘after_title’] ); return $params; });
Displaying registered sidebar after post content
the problem is you never call the content!!! change your dashboard.php to something like this <?php /* Template Name: User Dashboard */ ?> <?php get_header(); ?> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <div id=”content” role=”main”> <?php the_content(); ?> </div><!– #content –> <?php endwhile; else: ?> <p><?php _e(‘Sorry, no … Read more
You can call registered sidebars with the dynamic_sidebar() function. Just put the ID of the sidebar in to the call. In the case below the id would be homepage-sidebar. <?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘homepage-sidebar’) ) : ?><?php endif; ?>
This is default behavior. I believe that sidebars are listed by ID in Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets, and that the sidebar with ID 0 is always open in the default view.
You would register the sidebar in the functions.php file with something like this: <?php register_sidebar(array(‘name’=>’custom-content’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<section>’, ‘after_widget’ => “</section>”, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h3>’, ‘after_title’ => “</h3>” )); ?> And Use it in your theme like this: <div class=”contents”> <?php if ( function_exists(dynamic_sidebar(1) ) ) : ?> <?php dynamic_sidebar(custom-content); ?> <?php endif; ?> </div>
You need to wrap this in a function then add it to the widgets_init action. Also the register sidebar function does not have $arguments for sort_column or sort_order. I would also change the id to ‘sidebar-‘.$page->ID add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘prefix_register_sidebars’ ); function prefix_register_sidebars() { foreach($pages as $page){ register_sidebar( array( ‘name’=>$page->post_title, ‘id’=> ‘sidebar-‘.$page->ID, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” … Read more
register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => ‘Post Sidebar’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div></div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<div class=”titlediv”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</div><div class=”widgetdiv”>’, )); You will have a wrapper div, then your title div and then your widgetdiv.
You have three options: Register a dynamic sidebar for a specific page, and then create a page template that calls dynamic_sidebar() for the registered sidebar. Use an is_page( $id ) conditional wrapper in your page.php template Output Widget code conditionally, using is_page( $id ) Custom Page Template The first option would include your register_sidebar() call … Read more
