   Although I have this code in my template, and I'm using wordpress 2.5

   <?php 	/* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */\
   				if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

   It's still not publishing anything automaticly in the sidebar, I have a plugin called Events Calendar who is soposed to be displayed in the sidebar but it's not, I tried replacind all my sidebar php file with this code from Automattic:
   

   <ul id="sidebar">
   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
           || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
    <li id="about">
     <h2>About</h2>
     This is my blog.
   
    </li>
    <li id="links">
     <h2>Links</h2>
     <ul>
      <li><a href="http://example.com">Example</a></li>
     </ul>
    </li>
   <?php endif; ?>
   </ul>

   But it's still not working, what should I do?

   you need to register the "dynamic_sidebar" before its available inside the template.

   something like ↓ inside your theme functions.php
   

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

   I have a plugin called Events Calendar who is supposed to be displayed in the sidebar but it's not

   plugin and widgets is two diff things. If the plugin has a widget for sidebar. You might want to check the widgets page (admin dashboard > design > widgets) and activate the custom widgets.
