   At the bottom of my theme, I want to have a widgetized region that is wrapped in a div called "footer-widgets". But if there are no widgets activated, I don't want an empty div to show up.

   What I'm trying to accomplish is logic like this:

   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widgets') ) : ?>
   <div id="footer-widgets"><!--widget stuff--></div>
   <?php endif; ?>

   What would be the right way to do this? Thanks!

   Try:

   <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widgets') ) : ?>
   <div id="footer-widgets"><!--widget stuff--></div>
   <?php endif; ?>

   That doesn't wrap all the widgets within the "footer-widgets" div, though. That's the main thing I'm trying to achieve.

   Do they have to be wrapped in a single div or can they have individual divs?

   I want the entire widget region wrapped in one large div called "footer-widgets".

   I think I've found it. Try:

   <?php if( is_dynamic_sidebar() ) ?><div id="footer-widgets">
   <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widgets') ) : ?>
   <!--widget stuff-->
   <?php endif; ?>
   <?php if( is_dynamic_sidebar() ) ?></div>

   Thanks, but unfortunately that still leaves an empty "footer-widgets" div if no widgets are activated.

   Any other ideas?

   This might help my question out too, thanks everyone! :)

   EDIT: Nevermind, it did not do anything either.

   Anyone else know how to write the conditional properly?
