   This is code is working fine in my theme. And I want to add this to my sidebar.php but when I opened sidebar it shows like this

   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
   I looked in to function.php but nothing helped me but i found this code there

   Hi thearslan,

   What theme are you using?

   You don't need to edit your functions.php file. You'll want to find a template file in your theme called sidebar.php. It should have code kind of like this:
   

   <?php if ( is_sidebar_active('primary-widget-area') ) : ?>
   		<div id="primary" class="widget-area">
   			<ul class="xoxo">
   				<?php dynamic_sidebar('primary-widget-area'); ?>
   			</ul>
   		</div><!-- #primary .widget-area -->
   <?php endif; ?>

   Then you'll want to add your code above or below the part that pulls in the sidebar widget. Like this:

   Hope this works for you.

   Hi David, Thanks for your reply, As I told you that I have only below code in sidebar.php

   <div id="sidebar" class="grid4">
   			<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar' ) ?>
   		</div>

   Its nothing else there in sidebar.php.
   And when I put some new code in sidebar.php its showing nothing, Now tell me how can I add something there.

   Waiting for your kind reply
