To register and display the Sidebar in WordPress you have to follow the two steps.
Step: 1 You have to add this in the Function.php file in your theme
Below the "wpb alone should be replaced by your theme name"
function wpb_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Main Sidebar', 'wpb' ),
'id' => 'sidebar-1',
'description' => __( 'The main sidebar appears on the right on each page except the front page template', 'wpb' ),
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );
register_sidebar( array(
'name' =>__( 'Front page sidebar', 'wpb'),
'id' => 'sidebar-2',
'description' => __( 'Appears on the static front page template', 'wpb' ),
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'wpb_widgets_init' );
Step: 2 Display it Dynamically in the Page where ever you want by adding the below code
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>
<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Note: " is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' )" - The sidebar-1 is the id of the registered sidebar in the function.php file. If the id is not used properly the Sidebar will not be displayed even if the registration is correct.
