Sidebar not widget-enabled…NEED HELP!!

If you have a functions.php file within your theme add this line

<?php
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar();
?>

if you don’t have it. Create the file and add the code above.

Then replace the above code with this:

<div id="sidebar">
  <ul>
<?php if ( function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar() ) : else : ?>
  </ul>
  <ul>
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>
  </ul>
<ul>
  <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>
</ul>
  </div>

Madsk,

Thanks for your help…however I received the following error when I did what you said :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in D:\(removed)\wp-content\themes\DarkLife_01\sidebar.php on line 11

Any ideas?

Did you copy / paste the code above? If so i can see that the ′′ around dynamic sidebar are wrong. you need to change them to the appropriate ones ”. Sorry for that.

Very strange…it’s still giving me the error even after I fixed the ‘ marks around dynamic sidebar.

I copy/pasted my code below.

functions.php

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar();
?>

sidebar.php

<div id="sidebar">
  <ul>
<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar() ) : else : ?>
  </ul>
  <ul>
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>
  </ul>
<ul>
  <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>
</ul>
  </div>

Any ideas?
