   I'm trying to add a widget area to my theme, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've added widget areas to wordpress themes many many times before and I've never had a problem with them... I have no idea why it's not working this time, here is the code I'm using..

   functions.php
   

   <?php
   if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
   
   	register_sidebar(array(
   		'name' => 'navbar',
   		'description'   => '',
   		'before_widget' => '',
   		'after_widget'  => '',
   		'before_title'  => '',
   		'after_title'   => ''
   	));
   
   ?>

   header.php
   

   <?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('navbar')) : ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   side note: I dont get a php error or anything, nothing happens.

   You're missing your closing curly brace in the function:

   <?php
   if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
   
   	register_sidebar(array(
   		'name' => 'navbar',
   		'description'   => '',
   		'before_widget' => '',
   		'after_widget'  => '',
   		'before_title'  => '',
   		'after_title'   => ''
   	));
   
   ?>

   Hmm.. it still doesn't seem to be working. Is this what you meant?

   <?php
   if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
   
   	register_sidebar(array(
   		'name' => 'navbar',
   		'description'   => '',
   		'before_widget' => '',
   		'after_widget'  => '',
   		'before_title'  => '',
   		'after_title'   => ''
   	));
   }
   
   ?>

   Why don't you paste the entire contents of functions.php into a Pastebin.

   Actually, never mind - I think it's something else. Do you have a line in header.php actually calling in the widget?

   <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'navbar' ); ?>
