@manavkumar – please see the forum guidelines on posting code
http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code
And please also advise people to make those kinds of changes only in a child theme.
I had fixed your code once, then evidently you changed it , so repost it using the code buttons.
@WPyogi- thanks for suggestion and i will follow the guidelines
if you want to add new widgetized area then do some change in your child theme (or custom theme but not in default theme) and follows these steps
step 1: open function.php file in your child theme and paste this code in it
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Sidebar Left Widget', 'twentyeleven-child' ),
'id' => 'header-widget',
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => "</div>",
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );
function twentyeleven_posted_on() {
$link= esc_url( get_permalink() );
$title= esc_attr( get_the_title() );
$time= esc_attr( get_the_time() );
$dateGMT= esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) );
$date= esc_html( get_the_date() );
$authorURL= esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) );
$author= esc_html( get_the_author() );
echo ('<span class="sep">Posted on</span> <a href="'.$link.'" title="'.$title.'" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>'.$date.' at '. $time.'</time></a> <span class="sep"> by </span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="'.$authorURL.'" title="'.$author.'" rel="author">'.$author.'</a></span>');
}
function techild_header_widget(){
if ( !function_exists( 'dynamic_sidebar' ) || !dynamic_sidebar( 'Sidebar Left Widget' ) ) :
get_search_form();
endif;
}
step 2: now open those pages in which you want to show widget area like index.php file or page.php file or custom tempalate files in your child theme and paste this code where you want to show widget area.
<?php
if ( 'content' != $current_layout ) :
?>
<div id="header_right" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
<?php techild_header_widget(); ?>
</div><!-- #header_right .widget-area -->
<?php endif; ?>
please don’t change anything in your default theme. Always do your work in custom theme or child theme.
