does not use the register_sidebar() function anywhere
unlikely; have you searched all theme templates including any sub folders?
what theme is that?
where did you download the theme from?
there are more templates in the theme than you can access from within the dashboard – appearance – editor; you will need to use FTP to search and edit the files; or search and edit them local on your computer, then upload teh edited files.
for example, the sidebar ragistering is in /functions/theme/sidebar.php
if you need more information, you will need to contact wpzoom for support, as this forum here only fully supports themes from http://wordpress.org/themes/
Thanks, but that’s the same information I provided in my original post. The sidebar.php does not use the register_sidebar() function explicitly, only through the dynamic_sidebar() function. Therefore, I am unable to set the before_widget element as I could with the register_sidebar() function.
My question is I have to rebuild the sidebars with the register_sidebar() function so I can create unique HTML IDs for my widgets.
I’m sorry but as you are using a non-WPORG theme, you need to seek support from the theme’s developers – paid or otherwise. We only support themes downloaded from wordpress.org here.
I’m asking for support with the interchange between dynamic_sidebar() and register_sidebar(). This topic is relevant to any theme.
nope – the problem is caused specifically by your theme.
The sidebar.php does not ….
you are looking at the wrong sidebar.php file;
there is more than one in your theme; I posted the path to the sidebar.php which indeed does use ‘regster_sidebar’ – it is in a subfolder in the theme’s files.
here is the path again (a bit longer so you can see where it relates to):
/wp-content/themes/academica/functions/theme/sidebar.php
you will need to use FTP to access it.
