 * Can anyone give me a basic explanation of how this code works?
 *     ```
       <?php if(!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('right_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('orange')) : ?>
       								<?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * I see it saying, “If there’s no dynamic_sidebar function, or right-sidebar, or
   if no orange sidebar, do nothing.” Is that correct. I’m trying to get my “orange”
   sidebar to appear on in my “Orange County template”. I successfully registered
   the sidebar in my theme functions. But now I need clarity on how this sidebar.
   php works.
