Moving a widget
-
Hello,
I’m facing an issue. At the moment I’m using WordPress 2.7.1 with the plugin Mailpress installed. This contains a widget, which is used to subscribe to a mailinglist, as you might know.
Now, what I want to achieve is to move the widget to the top of the website, to make it replace the search bar.
Is this possible in any way? Better: is it possible to move the widgets in WordPress from the sidebar, at all?

You’d need to widgetize the relevant template file.
Any docs available for that?
Only http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes.
It talks about sidebars but you can use exactly the same approach in any template file. For example, I’ve created a few home page templates that include this snippet:
<?php the_content(); ?> <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Homepage')) : ?> <?php endif; ?>
Then in functions.php, I have:
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) { register_sidebar(array( 'name'=> 'Main', 'id' => 'main', 'before_widget' => '<div class="widget_box side">', 'after_widget' => '</div>', 'before_title' => '<h3>', 'after_title' => '</h3>', )); register_sidebar(array( 'name'=> 'Homepage', 'id' => 'homepage', 'before_widget' => '<div class="widget_box">', 'after_widget' => '</div>', 'before_title' => '<h3>', 'after_title' => '</h3>', )); }
Hope that helps.
Cool, I’ll try to work it out. I’ll contact you if I can’t get it to work, if that’s OK with you.
Thanks so far!
Not sure if this is the place for this but I thought I might give it a whirl. I am using qtranslate in my theme but I want to take the flags in the theme and move them insided the header anysuggestions. thanks in advance
