Editing a custom Sidebar Menu

Hey vlamp,
I tested your code to create a sidebar with a hardcoded link in my child theme functions.php and it works for me:

function my_register_custom_sidebars() {
	register_sidebar(
	  array(
		'id'            => 'festival',
		'name'          => __( 'Festival Sidebar' ),
		'description'   => __( 'Custom sidebar for the festival pages' ),
		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '<div><a href="#">custom link goes here</a></div></div>',
		'before_title'  => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title'   => '</h3>',
	  )
	);
  }
  add_action( 'widgets_init', 'my_register_custom_sidebars' );

Please double check your code or include an admin login so we can take a look.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Yes, I did select “Festival Sidebar” in the Edit page, Layout > Sidebar Setting > Festival Sidebar, and ensure that Enfold Theme Options > Sidebar Settings > Sidebar on archive pages is selecting a sidebar,

I’m pretty sure that was the only other step I took.

Hi,
Thanks for the login, I checked your sidebar and it seems you must have a widget in it for it to show, I added an empty “custom HTML” widget and now it shows.
Although you have two of them showing, probably another customization you made because it only shows once on my localhost.
Please check.

Best regards,

Hi,
1. You can append the list with javascript, but the way you are doing it will probably use less resources
2. When I check the Custom HTML is inside the Festival Sidebar, this seems correct.
3. I can’t see your screenshot, please try uploading your screenshots here and posting the links in your post.

Best regards,

Hi,
Thanks for the screenshot, so do you mean the yellow “!” in the widget?

this is because the widget is empty, there is nothing to worry about.

Best regards,

Hi,
Ok, I think we are not talking about the same things, so in the screenshot in the Private Content area, the area in the red box is where the available widgets are, but the green box is where the used widgets are.
I hope this makes since.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
no “cleanup” needs to be done in the green area, selecting Displayed Everywhere from the red area will create a new widget, it is not a control for a widget that is already in place. The goal was to have the Custom HTML inside the Festival Sidebar so the link will show, correct?

Best regards,
Mike
