Second Sidebar Pages Question – moving code to child theme

Hi Elliot,

What I did is copy the original code back into the php file, but renamed the widget. Very basic, but working. So now I have:

foreach ($sidebars_to_show as $sidebar)
{
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘Sidebar Pages’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<section id=”%1$s” class=”widget clearfix %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘<span class=”seperator extralight-border”></span></section>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widgettitle”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,
));
}

foreach ($sidebars_to_show as $sidebar)
{
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘Sidebar Pages2’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<section id=”%1$s” class=”widget clearfix %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘<span class=”seperator extralight-border”></span></section>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widgettitle”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,
));
}

As I said, I feel better to have the second widget bar into my child theme.

Hi Ismael,

Thanks for the reply, but if I move the additional code to my child theme’s functions.php it doesn’t work.
I’ll loose the second widget in the WordPress Widget section.

The addition of the code to the functions.php doesn’t break the php, so there’s some small thing not working I guess.

Hi Ismael,

I did some testing. For starters, I emptied my child theme’s functions.php file and added just the code above. No second widget in WP.

Than I turned off all plugins but the basic Woocommerce, and I get the following error on the top of the site:
‘Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in V:\xampp\htdocs\cavador\cavabin\wp-content\themes\enfold-child\functions.php on line 10″

Line 10 here is: foreach ($sidebars_to_show as $sidebar)

so that first line of code is rejected by the child theme.

So close… ;-)
