    Hi there,

    can anyone help me Im lost as to why i have 2 boxes for the 2nd sidebar area.

    I have inserted the get_sidebar code into both the page.php and the index.php

    and removing the page one removes them both,

    I basically want this to sit below the content.

    Can anyone help please.

    thanks
    Kirsty

    Hi Moderators, what do i have to do to get this resolved? Apologies for the mis information.

    even with a duplicate alchymyth? As i thought this would suggest that i had pasted the call twice.

    Sorry for the abruptness. Im very new and trying to learn. As usually the changes when i edit the code are instantly viewable

    what are your codes in functions.php for registering the sidebars?

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar

    what is the code of sidebar-second.php?

    apologies if i post this wrong:

    <?php
    if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar',
    'before_widget' => '',
    'after_widget' => '',
    'before_title' => '<h4>',
    'after_title' => '</h4>',
    ));
    if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar-main1',
    'before_widget' => '',
    'after_widget' => '',
    'before_title' => '<h4>',
    'after_title' => '</h4>',
    ));
    register_sidebar(array(
      'name' => __( 'Right Hand Sidebar' ),
      'id' => 'right-sidebar',
      'description' => __( 'Widgets in this area will be shown on the right-hand side.' ),
      'before_title' => '<h1>',
      'after_title' => '</h1>'
    ));
    ?>

    this is my function file

    and my main1 php is:

    <div id="sidebar-main1">
    <ul id="sidebar-main1">
    <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-main1') ) : else : ?>
       <ul>
      </ul>
    <?php endif; ?>
    </ul>
    </div>

    why i have 2 boxes for the 2nd sidebar area.

    seems to be caused by the (invalid) repeated and nested use of the css id #sidebar-main1 in the sidebar file;

    possibly change the css id to a differnt name in one of those lines:

    <div id="sidebar-main1">
    <ul id="sidebar-main1">

    example:

    <div id="sidebar-main-wrap">
    <ul id="sidebar-main1">

    and add corrsponding css to style.css if necessary.

    oh sugar! Didnt realise that. I assumed they had to be the same to correspond.

    I will try this.

    Thankyou again

    awesomeness alchymyth

    It appears to have worked! I will remember to use a different name to the UL name for extra bars in future.

    Your help has been much appreciated hun.

    Thankyou again
