There are a couple of options: Use a Plugin that adds contextual conditions to Widgets Only output the dynamic_sidebar() in the page template in question. For example, if your custom page template is named template-foobar.php, and the dynamic sidebar name is footer-text-widget: if ( ‘template-foobar.php’ == get_page_template() ) { dynamic_sidebar( ‘footer-text-widget’ ); }

The problem is pretty simple: Some widgets do have a title, while others don’t. As long as the title filter is present, it works. Example of what the plugin might have: echo apply_filters( ‘widget_title’, $instance[‘title’] ); If that filter is not present, there won’t be a title.
Try is_active_sidebar if ( is_active_sidebar(‘your-sidebar-i.d’)) Where your-sidebar-i.d equals the I.D you use when you register the sidebar.
