Your two queries are identical, meaning you only need one of them. The basic solution is: global $testimonials; $testimonials = new WP_Query(array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 2, /* <– get both */ ‘post_type’ => ‘testimonial’, ‘post_status’ => ‘published’, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true /* you need this to control post count accurately */ )); // header … Read more

is_active_sidebar has a single value, whether it is the sideabar id or name. If you have more than one sidebar, you should repeat is_active_sidebar, each one with a specific sidebar id or name.
