Please add support for Parent Themes

  • Hi there!

    This plugin is awesome – very good idea!!
    However, currently it’s not able to use if all widget areas are registered within the Parent Theme. That’s the case for Genesis Framework, where a lot of the child themes have no registered widget areas, or maybe only one, and use the other ones from the parent theme.

    If you could add support for Parent Themes the plugin would become even more useful!

    Also, support for widget areas added by plugins would be the most amazing!

    Thanks for your hard work!

  • Hi Dave,

    Thanks for the note. I actually developed this plugin in an environment where all the regions were registered by the parent theme but the child theme was active; you should be able to assign & use those regions. Perhaps I need to test against the Genesis Framework specifically to see if I can reproduce the behavior you’re seeing.

    This should also support widget areas registered by plugins. In both cases it might be an issue where the plugins/themes are registering their regions later than expected, but I’m not sure. Long story short, this plugin simply looks at the $wp_registered_sidebars global variable, so if something’s been registered the normal way I’d think it’d appear.
