Sidebar ids are set when the sidebar is declared, usually in the functions.php file, usually with the register_sidebar function. You can change an existing sidebar is, or you can create a new sidebar. Note that changing an existing id may break some of the styles.
You may want to make a copy of the Easel theme before you change it, or create a child theme. Otherwise, if the Easel theme is updated, your changes will be lost.
So I went into the function.php file and changed the id to sidebar-1. It didn’t work. Does anyone know if the Jetpack Mobile theme even works with Easel when it comes to displaying a sidebar?
When I change the id in the functions file, the blog will no longer display what is in the sidebar. When go into widgets and add stuff back to the sidebar, it still doesn’t show up. I changed the sidebar id back to the original id and everything that was in it before came back. So I think when I change the sidebar id, wordpress no longer associates the sidebar with that id. How do I change the id AND keep the link between that id and the sidebar id that wordpress uses to display that sidebar?
.. you can add another sidebar with the ID of 1 ya know
