   I'm trying to make my sidebar widget enabled...how can I change the code to make widgets work? Code from my current sidebar is below...

   <div id="sidebar">
     <ul>
       <?php get_links_list(); ?>
     </ul>
   <ul>
     <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>
   </ul>
     </div>

   Thanks!

   If you have a functions.php file within your theme add this line

   <?php
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
   register_sidebar();
   ?>

   if you don't have it. Create the file and add the code above.

   Then replace the above code with this:

   <div id="sidebar">
     <ul>
   <?php if ( function_exists(’dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar() ) : else : ?>
     </ul>
     <ul>
       <?php get_links_list(); ?>
     </ul>
   <ul>
     <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>
   </ul>
     </div>

   Madsk,

   Thanks for your help...however I received the following error when I did what you said :

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in D:\(removed)\wp-content\themes\DarkLife_01\sidebar.php on line 11

   Any ideas?

   Did you copy / paste the code above? If so i can see that the ´´ around dynamic sidebar are wrong. you need to change them to the appropriate ones ''. Sorry for that.

   Very strange...it's still giving me the error even after I fixed the ' marks around dynamic sidebar.

   I copy/pasted my code below.

   functions.php

   <?php
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
   register_sidebar();
   ?>

   sidebar.php
   

   <div id="sidebar">
     <ul>
   <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar() ) : else : ?>
     </ul>
     <ul>
       <?php get_links_list(); ?>
     </ul>
   <ul>
     <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>
   </ul>
     </div>
