Codex tools: Log in. This function calls each of the active widget callbacks in order, which prints the markup for the sidebar. If you have more than one sidebar, you should give this function the name or number of the sidebar you want to print. This function returns true on success and false on failure. These can be whatever element you wish, but a block-level element such as a div or aside is good for clearing elements above and below the widget.
WordPress defaults to a li. This snippet of code is there to make sure that plugins work correctly with your sidebar widgets. These are the opening and closing tags for the title of each widget in your sidebar.
WordPress defaults to h2. You may use either the id or name to identify which sidebar you want, but id is more reliable. If you do not name which sidebar you want to call, WordPress will call the first one that is registered in your theme. Be sure to use the ID of the sidebar in this parameter. This time, instead of not displaying the empty sidebar, we add an else statement to run if there are no widgets active in the sidebar.
You can place anything you like here, even another function. Simply name the template sidebar-[name of sidebar here]. For our example, this would be sidebar-new-sidebar. Calling it in your theme would look like this:. A theme can always be extended to include dynamic sidebars in the traditional sidebar or footer areas.
One of the easiest ways to control widget visibility on your sidebar is by using a WordPress plugin. A plugin like Widget Options lets you do just that with a few simple clicks.
You can show or hide sidebar contents per post or page with conditions including categories, tags, page names, etc. The Widget Options plugin currently has over 70, active installs with an impressive 5 out of 5-star rating. Once you have the Widget Options plugin installed and activated, you can easily hide a widget from a specific page in just a few clicks.
Under the settings of the widget, there is now a visibility option: you can choose between hiding and showing this widget on selected pages. You can also hide widgets from blog posts by using conditional tags. Using Widget Options, this process requires a couple more steps than simply hiding from pages. You need to first locate the post ID , as will need to include in the conditional tags where you want to hide the post.
In the bottom left of your browser you should see the post ID. We want to make sure that every page does not look too dense both on a desktop and mobile view. However, we also want to take advantage of the bigger desktop screen for displaying relevant widgets in as many widget areas as possible. For example, we want the e-mail opt-in to appear both in the sidebar and in the footer.
When viewed on mobile, on the other hand, we want to get rid of repetitive widgets. Widget Options allows you to hide widgets on mobile view.
Another way to control widgets visibility is to make them fixed, which means they will follow the users as the scroll up and down on a page or blog post. Look at the screenshot below. WPMU Dev has a great application of this on their blog. The social share widgets are floating over the page without overshadowing the main content and encourage visitors to take action whenever they are ready to do so. Widget Options provides an option wherein you can make any widget fixed and follow visitors as they scroll.
You can choose to make all the sidebar widgets fixed or just pick one or two that you think need more exposure than the rest. Your second option would be to manually create custom sidebars via coding. This is a little more tedious than using a third-party plugin that allows you to create sidebars in just a few clicks. However, because WordPress provides a lot of coding options, you can opt to go for it. This way, you can create exactly what you want.
To get started, you need to register a widgetized area. Then, save and upload it to your server in order to make it accessible from the widget menu. Or you can use a free plugin like Code Snippets. The next step is to make the sidebar visible somewhere in the website. To make it work, add it to the template file s of the places you want them visible.
Take a look at the code below which aims to make the sidebar appear on pages only. To do this, we place it inside the page. Having just read through some docs and a tutorial, I still had to view an example and do some detective work. Nothing ambiguous about the question at all. Please see my answer in a more specific and cluttered but essentially the same question: wordpress.
This is a useful question. IMHO, it should not be closed. This is a real question. You're not a real developer if you think it isn't. Add a comment.
