Let's now get the sidebar set up so that we can add sidebar widgets:
- In the functions.php file underneath the add_action(), we will create a function called init_widgets() and that's going to take in an id. We will add register_sidebar() and that's going to take in an array. And then we have a bunch of options, so let's add 'name' => 'Sidebar' and 'id' => 'sidebar'.
// Widget Locations function init_widgets($id){ register_sidebar(array( 'name' => 'Sidebar', 'id' => 'sidebar' )); }
We can also include other things here; for instance, we can add 'before_widget':
'id' => 'sidebar', 'before_widget' => '<div class="panel panel-default">'
Now what this does is it allows us to insert code right before the widget renders. ...
