Hello,

I’m wondering if it’s at all possible to add a new widget area under the theme’s menu and if so, how would I go about doing it?

Cheers.

Ok, I’ve been able to create the widget area by adding the following code.

if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
	register_sidebar(array(
		'name'=> 'Top Wiki',
		'id' => 'top_wiki',
		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</li>',
		'before_title' => '<h3>',
		'after_title' => '</h3>',
));

But I can’t figure out how to get it to display.

Got it to work by adding the following to the header.php

<?php
 // Custom widget Area Start
 if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Top_Wiki') ) : ?>
<?php endif;
// Custom widget Area End
?>
