Working in a child theme of course…

I have registered the widget by copying the contact sidebar and registering mine changing contact -> right.

// Registering right Page sidebar
	register_sidebar( array(
		'name' 				=> __( 'Right Page Sidebar', 'attitude' ),
		'id' 					=> 'attitude_right_page_sidebar',
		'description'   	=> __( 'Shows widgets on Right Page Template.', 'attitude' ),
		'before_widget' 	=> '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget'  	=> '</aside>',
		'before_title'  	=> '<h3 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title'   	=> '</h3>'
	) );

That part works fine, and in widgets it shows up and I can add it. Now I want that to show up on a new page “Right” as well.

So, I copied the contact page_template_contact.php and created page_template_right.php changing all instances of contact -> right again.

I did the same with sidebar_contact_page.php -> sidebar_right_page.php

I also added this function:

/****************************************************************************************/

add_action( 'attitude_right_page_sidebar', 'attitude_display_right_page_sidebar', 10 );
/**
 * Show widgets on Right Page Template's sidebar.
 *
 * Shows all the widgets that are dragged and dropped on the Right Page Sidebar.
 */
function attitude_display_right_page_sidebar() {
	// Calling the right page sidebar if it exists.
	if ( !function_exists( 'dynamic_sidebar' ) || !dynamic_sidebar( 'attitude_right_page_sidebar' ) ):
	endif;
}

/****************************************************************************************/

What am I doing wrong, and what is missing? The page exists, but it doesn’t show any content. It should be here:

Thanks in advance.

Well – one “solution” was to use either the “Easy Custom Sidebars” or the “Custom Sidebars” plugins (the 2nd one being a bit more powerful). That is enough to “solve” my issue, but I would still like to know how to do it manually and think that it MUST be possible since a plugin is only doing the manual work automatically.

So, I guess there is no ‘hurry’ on this, but if anyone feels like answering me just for the sake of learning, that would be awesome and I will give you a virtual high five and wink.

Hi shawnhoffman,

Yes create a sidebar_right_page.php on the theme folder of your child theme. Its great. Then after doing it you change the template name
e.g:-

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: Contact Page Template right
 *
 * Displays the contact page template right.
 *
 * @package Theme Horse
 * @subpackage Attitude
 * @since Attitude 1.0
 */
?>
<?php get_header();
if ( !function_exists( 'dynamic_sidebar' ) || !dynamic_sidebar( 'attitude_right_page_sidebar' ) ):
	endif;
get_footer(); ?>

After doing it your template file is created. Select this page template (Contact Page Template right) from pages and now your widgets is called.

Thank you!
