Adding 2 or 3 widget area

Resolved

(@oltrecomics)

Is it possible to add 2 or 3 widget area?

I tried this tutorial:
http://presscustomizr.com/snippet/add-widget-area-header/
and I added some lines of code:

// Adds a widget area.
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
	register_sidebar(array(
	'name' => 'Extra Header Widget Area',
	'id' => 'extra-widget-area',
	'description' => 'Extra widget area after the header',
	'before_widget' => '<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span8">',
	'after_widget' => '</div>',
	'before_title' => '<h2>',
	'after_title' => '</h2>'
	));
}

// Adds a widget area2.
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
	register_sidebar(array(
	'name' => 'Extra Header Widget Area 2',
	'id' => 'extra-widget-area-2',
	'description' => 'Extra widget area after the header',
	'before_widget' => '<div class="span4">',
	'after_widget' => '</div></div>',
	'before_title' => '<h2>',
	'after_title' => '</h2>'
	));
}

// Place the widget area after the header
add_action ('__before_fp', 'add_my_widget_area', 10);
function add_my_widget_area() {
if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')) {
dynamic_sidebar('Extra Header Widget Area');
dynamic_sidebar('Extra Header Widget Area 2');
}
}

Unfortunately does not work well.
Whenever I add a widget, it adds a new widget area

PS: sorry for my bad English

with that code you’re adding two widget areas one above the other and bot before the featured pages.
Don’t understand what you mean with “Whenever I add a widget, it adds a new widget area” 😀

Ah, so something like, instead of this:
```
// Place the widget area after the header
add_action ('__before_fp', 'add_my_widget_area', 10);
function add_my_widget_area() {
if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')) {
dynamic_sidebar('Extra Header Widget Area');
dynamic_sidebar('Extra Header Widget Area 2');
}
}
```
this:
```
// Place the widget area after the header
add_action ('__before_fp', 'add_my_widget_area', 10);
function add_my_widget_area() {
  if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')) {
?>
    <div class="my-extra-widget-area row-fluid">
      <div class="first-column span8">
        <?php dynamic_sidebar('Extra Header Widget Area'); ?>
      </div>
      <div class="second-column span4">
        <?php dynamic_sidebar('Extra Header Widget Area 2'); ?>
      </div>
    </div>
<?php
  }
}
```

Hi d4z_c0nf,
sorry to bother you again, but I have another problem.
Although there are not active widgets, there is a blank space (widget area).
Take a look at the following image:

How can I to hide that blank space?

Thanks in advance

The blank space is there ’cause spanN have a min-height whether they are empty or not, you can try this, hoping it will not have any side effect:
```
.my-extra-widget-area [class*=span] {
    min-height: 0;
}
```
Cheers

What a fool I am 🙁
I thought of having to use php code, instead it was enough to use css.
As always you are of great help.
Thanks for all 🙂

PS: Congratulations for Customizr, it is really customizable … It is the best theme I have ever used
