       I am using the code below to register my sidebars and call them but it's not working.
       ```
   
 * /* Add Multiple sidebar
    */ if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) ) { $sidebar1
   = array( ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”widget %2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</
   div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h2 class=”widgettitle”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,‘
   name’=>__( ‘My sidebar 1’, ‘textdomain’ ), ); $sidebar2 = array( ‘before_widget’
   => ‘<div class=”widget %2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’ =>‘
   <h2 class=”widgettitle”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’, ‘name’=>__( ‘My sidebar 
   2’, ‘textdomain’ ), ); $sidebar3 = array( ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”widget%
   2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h2 class=”widgettitle”
   >’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’, ‘name’=>__( ‘My sidebar 3’, ‘textdomain’ ), ); 
   $sidebar4 = array( ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”widget %2$s”>’, ‘after_widget’
   => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h2 class=”widgettitle”>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘
   </h2>’, ‘name’=>__( ‘My sidebar 4’, ‘textdomain’ ), );
 *  register_sidebar($sidebar1);
    register_sidebar($sidebar2); register_sidebar(
   $sidebar3); register_sidebar($sidebar4); }`
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'My sidebar 1' ) ) { ?>
       			    <ul id="sidebar">
       			        <?php dynamic_sidebar('My sidebar 1'); ?>
       			    </ul>
       			<?php } ?>
       ```

 * I guess you didn’t post the whole source code here, did you? Because register_sidebar()
   should be called within widget_registration() and widgets_init(). Have a look
   at the examples in the manual: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_sidebar/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_sidebar/)

 * I got that code from the same page. But it is not working.

 * Then please show us all your source code in this regard. As I said, the one above
   does not seem complete to me – it would not work like that.

 * This 4-year-old code is faulty, which can also be seen in the error message in
   debug mode. I would recommend using the newer code from here, as already mentioned
   above: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_sidebar/#comment-3580](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_sidebar/#comment-3580)

 * Can you specify which one. there are a quite a few on that page. I need one which
   would enable me to add multiple widgets such in sidebar and footer.

   asked.
