Please repost that line of code. All the interesting bits got chopped off somehow.
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
register_sidebar (array(
'name' => 'homeLowerBox1',
'id' => 'homeLowerBox1',
'description' =>'Home Lower Box 1',
'before_widget' => '<div class="homeContent padding50">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2>',
'after_title' => '</h2>'
));
}
Change it to fit your own site. Like s_ha_dum said, your code got cut off but, if you put it outside the other logics in the functions.php you should be fine.
<?php
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
?>
@greenie shameface, that won’t effect your widgets at all. WordPress prints a meta ‘generator’ tag with its name an version as the value. All that ‘remove_action’ does is remove that generator tag.
Just do what potentweb said.
I tried putting it in like so: `<?php
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’);
?>
if (function_exists(‘register_sidebar’)) {
register_sidebar (array(
‘name’ => ‘homeLowerBox1’,
‘id’ => ‘homeLowerBox1’,
‘description’ =>’Home Lower Box 1′,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”homeContent padding50″>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h2>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’
));
}` but that just messed up the site by putting nasty-looking code at the top of the page…clearly I am a novice here, so when you say “Change it to fit your own site.” I have no idea what to do…
PHP code needs to be inside PHP tags– after the <?php and before the ?>.
I completely understand if no one responds…I may just have to contact the theme author about this…Pardon my ignorance!
where in the above suggested code do I specify there is two sidebars (is this not necessary?)
Do the same thing twice, or an many times as you want, changing the ‘name’, ‘id’, and ‘description’.

You should probably read up on sidebars some more:
