 * Hello!
 * Could anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here?
 *     ```
       <?php
       $user_id = get_current_user_id();
         if ( $user_id == 38 ) {
       echo'';
   
       } else {
       echo '<?php
       	$single = is_single();
           	if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) :
           ?>
   
           <?php endif; ?>';
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I’m trying to get the code to return the dynamic sidebar for all users except
   for user 38, who will get nothing returned. I keep getting errors in the ‘else’
   section. Any assistance would be remarkable!! 🙂

 * If you’ve registered your sidebar in your functions.php file, try this code, 
   replacing SIDEBAR_NAME with whatever name you registered your sidebar with.
 *     ```
       <?php
       $user_id = get_current_user_id();
       if ( !($user_id == 38) ) {
       	dynamic_sidebar('SIDEBAR_NAME');
       }
       ?>
       ```
