Editing sidebar.php after adding widgets (2 posts)

    Hello,

    I just finished creating my own theme, during which time I had manually edited and customized the sidebar.php file in the theme folder.

    After installing and adding widgets through the admin interface, it seems to now be accessing a different file for the sidebar code as the changes to the sidebar were not made in sidebar.php and any changes I make to this file do not affect sidebar.php

    does anyone know if there is a different file being accessed which I can edit?

    Ultimately I want to manually add some code to the sidebar.

    Thanks in advance to any help!

    you'll need to register the sidebar in functions.php. Read the doc http://automattic.com/code/widgets/themes/
