 * Hello All, I have created a custom widget for the sidebar and I would like to
   know how can i change the location of the sidebar where I want to.
 *     ```
       add_action( 'widgets_init', 'my_register_sidebars' );
       function my_register_sidebars() {
           /* Register the 'primary' sidebar. */
           register_sidebar(
               array(
                   'id'            => 'primary',
                   'name'          => __( 'Primary Sidebar' ),
                   'description'   => __( 'Sidebar is for recent statistics' ),
                   'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
                   'after_widget'  => '</div>',
                   'before_title'  => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
                   'after_title'   => '</h3>',
               )
           );
           /* Repeat register_sidebar() code for additional sidebars. */
       }
       ```

 * The sidebar is displayed when you add a call to `dynamic_sidebar( 'primary' );`
   someplace in a theme file; the location is up to you.

 * I have successfully moved my sidebar on the right but I also want to be on the
   top of the window and not down I tried moving it with CSS top/bottom but is not
   working.
