Having another sidebar with different content on same place as on front page

  • Hi,

    I made new page template where I need to have one side bar on same place as sidebar that’s on front page, but with different content. What I managed to do so far is to create new sidebar, but that’s only available as secondary, on wrong place in page layout.

    Could anyone help me with this?

    Thanks

    Solved, thanks.

    For those who are looking for solution:

    1) under /page-templates/ create new template with:

    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: Bios
    */
    get_header(); ?>
    <div id=”primary” class=”site-content”>
    <div id=”content” role=”main”>
    <div id=”custom-sidebar”>

      <?php
      if ( !function_exists(‘twentytwelve_widgets_init’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘sidebar-5’) ) :
      endif; ?>

    <div style=”clear:both”></div>
    </div>

    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
    <div class=”entry-page-image”>
    <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
    </div><!– .entry-page-image –>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘page’ ); ?>
    <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
    </div><!– #content –>
    </div><!– #primary –>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    2) under functions.php add

    register_sidebar( array(
    ‘name’ => __( ‘sidebar-4’, ‘twentytwelve’ ),
    ‘id’ => ‘sidebar-4’,
    ‘description’ => __( ‘Submenu’, ‘twentytwelve’ ),
    ‘before_widget’ => ‘<aside id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
    ‘after_widget’ => ‘</aside>’,
    ‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widget-title”>’,
    ‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,
    ) );

    And replace ID, name, Description in functions.php and ID in page template.
    Then you should play with CSS and that’s it.
