I have an issue wherein i have a plugin ([newsletter][1]) which has a widget whereby users can (usually) subscribe to a newsletter and other functionality.
But i digress.
I have been trying to create my own wordpress template solely for personal-use. The following is the code I've accumulated in progression to having a functional sidebar, but so far, un-successful. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
index.php
<div id="content" class="alignCenter">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
functions.php
<?php /** * Register our sidebars and widgetized areas. * */
function arphabet_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array( 'name' => 'Home right sidebar', 'id' =>
'home_right_1',
'before_widget' => '<div>',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2 class="rounded">',
'after_title' => '</h2>',
) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'arphabet_widgets_init' );
?>
sidebar.php ( taken from twentyfourtine theme )
<?php
/**
* The Sidebar containing the main widget area
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Fourteen
* @since Twenty Fourteen 1.0
*/
?>
<div id="secondary">
<?php
$description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
if ( ! empty ( $description ) ) :
?>
<h2 class="site-description"><?php echo esc_html( $description ); ?></h2>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'secondary' ) ) : ?>
<nav role="navigation" class="navigation site-navigation secondary-navigation">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary' ) ); ?>
</nav>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>
<div id="primary-sidebar" class="primary-sidebar widget-area" role="complementary">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?>
</div><!-- #primary-sidebar -->
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- #secondary -->
