 * Hi all.
 * I’ve gone through the forums thoroughly to find the answer to my problem, and
   what I thought solved the issue – did not.
    I am trying to have 2 widgetized 
   sidebars, but only 1 is working. I’m doing the theme design for [http://www.artofdeduction.com/](http://www.artofdeduction.com/)
   so please have a look at the code there also.
 * But basically my functions.php looks like this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
       register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar1',
       'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="side-c %2$s">', // Removes <li>
       'after_widget' => '</div>', // Removes </li>
       'before_title' => '<h3>', // Replaces <h2>
       'after_title' => '</h3>', // Replaces </h2>
       ));
       register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar2',
       'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="side-c %2$s">', // Removes <li>
       'after_widget' => '</div>', // Removes </li>
       'before_title' => '<h3>', // Replaces <h2>
       'after_title' => '</h3>', // Replaces </h2>
       )); ?>
       ```
   
 * and my sidebar1.php and sidebar2.php look like this:
    ‘
    - <?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)
       || !dynamic_sidebar(‘sidebar1’)):?
      > <?php endif; ?>
 * ‘ and
    ‘
    - <?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)
       || !dynamic_sidebar(‘sidebar2’)):?
      > <?php endif; ?>
 * ‘
 * From a previous post on the forums I found – this should have worked, but still
   I am only able to get viewable widgets on one sidebar.
 * All help is muchly appreciated.

 * I apologise for the poorly formatted first post. It’s 1am, I’m going to bed.
