However, I can't figure out why it doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $categories = get_categories(&#39;orderby=name&amp;order=asc&#39;); foreach ($categories as $category) { register_sidebar(array( &#39;name&#39; =&gt; $category-&gt;category_name, &#39;id&#39; =&gt; $category-&gt;category_nicename, &#39;before_widget&#39; =&gt; &#39;&lt;div id=&quot;%1$s&quot; class=&quot;%2$s widget&quot;&gt;&#39;, &#39;after_widget&#39; =&gt; &#39;&lt;/div&gt;&#39;, &#39;before_title&#39; =&gt; &#39;&lt;h3 class=&quot;widget-title&quot;&gt;&#39;, &#39;after_title&#39; =&gt; &#39;&lt;/h3&gt;&#39; )); } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>Any help is much appreciated. </p>
