I would create a Custom Post Type for Videos, and use in conjunction with some plugin like Simple Video Embed From there you can make a list of videos like so: <?php query_posts(‘post_type= videoss’,’showposts=20′); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class=”vidoes” > <?php echo p75GetVideo($post->ID, 400); ?> <h5><?php the_title(); ?></h5> … Read more

The widget_display_callback hook takes 3 arguments as we can see in /wp-includes/widgets.php: (line 180, WP 3.4.2) $instance = apply_filters(‘widget_display_callback’, $instance, $this, $args); So, to make a complete hook, the code is: // Priority = 10 // Arguments = 3 add_filter(‘widget_display_callback’, ‘wpse_57546_widget_display_callback’, 10, 3); // Using “$this” as an argument produces errors, // as it is … Read more

You should add the name and id parameters to your register_sidebar() argument array: ‘name’=>’Sidebar Name’, ‘id’=>’sidebar-slug’, Like such: register_sidebar(array( ‘name’=>’Sidebar Name’, ‘id’=>’sidebar-slug’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<section>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</section>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h3>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’, )); Then call the id of the Sidebar in your dynamic_sidebar() call: if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-slug’ ) ) { } … Read more
