   Hi all
   I am wanting to call for a different sidebar on the page.php different to the one called for on the index and single page.

   I have put <?php get_sidebar ('custom'); ?> on the page.php and then added this to the functions.php

   <?php if ( function_exists ('register_sidebar')) {
       register_sidebar ('custom');
   } ?>

   however I then get an error message when I try to view the site saying:
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/emotiona/public_html/test/wp-content/themes/twentyten 2/functions.php on line 366

   thanks for any help

   Paste these code in the functions.php after the if statement
   

   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
       register_sidebar(array(
       	'name'=>'Custom-Sidebar',
           'before_widget' => '',
           'after_widget' => '',
           'before_title' => '',
           'after_title' => '',
       ));

   Create a php page sidebar-custom.php and paste the following code
   

   <?php
   	if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Custom-Sidebar') ) : ?>
   		<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=' . __('Categories:')); ?>
   
   <?php endif; ?>

   Now call in any of the page where you want the sidebar to appear.
   <?php get_sidebar('custom'); ?>
