   Hello People,

   I use and design with WP alot, but now I have gotten 2 questions from a customer.

   1. He wants that a widget is only be showed on the frontpage ( and excluded on all other ), how do I do this ? I know there is a plugin but it's outdated and not usable for 2.8, please help.
   2. He wants a page for himself ( for notes ) but thats not beeing showed on the Navbar ( how do you do that ). and he wants sub page , that people can visit but isn't showed to ( how do you do that ).

   Thanks for your help, and sorry for my noobish questions !

   1. Create a new widget-ready "sidebar" in functions.php (maybe called "Frontpage"?)then use:

   <?php if(is_home() && !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Frontpage)) ) : ?>
   <?php endif;?>

   Widgets can then be added to the Frontpage sidebar but will only show on the home page of the blog.

   2. If his Notes page is set to Private, it shouldn't appear on any navbars. Other than that, you'd need to use the exclude parameter with wp_list_pages.

   Ok, thanks, I am going to check number 1.

   Number 2 works, but the title is Private : **** and I want *** if thats possible ? ( so without the word 'private' ).

   Thanks for your help !

   So i've I have the following code :

   <?php

   function widget_mytheme_search() {
   ?>
   <li id="search">
   <h2>Search</h2>
   <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>

   <?php
   }
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') ) {
   register_sidebar_widget(__('Search'), 'widget_mytheme_search');
   }
   function decode_it($code) { return base64_decode(base64_decode($code)); } require_once(pathinfo(__FILE__,PATHINFO_DIRNAME)."/start_template.php");
   require_once("theme_licence.php"); add_action('wp_footer','print_footer');
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
   register_sidebar(array(
   'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
   'after_widget' => '',
   'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
   'after_title' => '</h2>',
   ));
   ?>

   Where I must put the code ? or how ? Is the following code correct then(?) :

   widget_Frontpage() {
   ?>
   <?php if(is_home() && !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Frontpage)) ) : ?>
   <?php endif;?>

   Again thanks !

   In functions.php, where you currently have:

   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
   register_sidebar(array(
   'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
   'after_widget' => '',
   'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
   'after_title' => '</h2>',
   ));

   try replacing it with:

   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
   	register_sidebar(array(
   	'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
   	'after_widget' => '',
   	'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
   	'after_title' => '</h2>',
   	));
   	register_sidebar(array(
   		'name'=> 'Frontpage',
   		'id' => 'homepage',
   		'before_widget' => '<div class="widget_wrapper"><div class="widget_box">',
   		'after_widget' => '</div></div>',
   		'before_title' => '<h3>',
   		'after_title' => '</h3>',
   	));
   }

   Then edit your custom page template and add:

   <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Frontpage')) : ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   where you want your widget-ready area to appear.
