Spun theme – display sidebar always
-
I’m using the Spun theme. I’m OK with the sidebars placement on the bottom of each page/post. But, can the sidebar be displayed permanently? I would like the +/- removed and show my widgets on each page.
Also, the widgets display quite a bit below the end of the text. Can that be adjusted to be right below the end of the text?

Have you seen this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/have-the-bottom-widget-area-open-by-default?replies=8 ?
Is there something that could be altered in this:
Spun: Sidebar (sidebar.php)<?php
/**
* The Sidebar containing the main widget areas.
*
* @package Spun
*/
?>
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘sidebar-1’ )
|| is_active_sidebar( ‘sidebar-2’ )
|| is_active_sidebar( ‘sidebar-3’ ) ) : ?>
<?php echo _x( ‘+’, ‘Open sidebar’, ‘spun’ ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div id=”secondary” class=”widget-area” role=”complementary”><?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘sidebar-1’ ) ) : ?>
<?php do_action( ‘before_sidebar’ ); ?>
<div class=”widget-column <?php spun_count_sidebars(); ?>”>
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-1’ ) ) : ?>
<?php endif; // end sidebar widget area ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘sidebar-2’ ) ) : ?>
<?php do_action( ‘before_sidebar’ ); ?>
<div class=”widget-column <?php spun_count_sidebars(); ?>”>
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-2’ ) ) : ?>
<?php endif; // end sidebar widget area ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘sidebar-3’ ) ) : ?>
<?php do_action( ‘before_sidebar’ ); ?>
<div class=”widget-column <?php spun_count_sidebars(); ?>”>
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-3’ ) ) : ?>
<?php endif; // end sidebar widget area ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?></div><!– #secondary .widget-area –>
Can you just “display” it “block” in CSS?
I’m not very comfortable with CSS. I did see that in another stream. I just don’t want to screw anything up beyond repair…
Is the process of “display” it “block” in CSS a detailed process?
Or, could someone walk me through it?Install this Custom CSS Manager plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin
Then use its “CSS Code” section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications:
.widget-area { display: block !important; }
Thank you very much! The widget area is now displayed permanently. There’s a +/- link symbol above it that formerly activated the widget. How can I remove that?
Display it none:
.sidebar-link { display: none; }
Again, thank you very much!!!
Hi Andrew, good it be possible to get the sidebar not below but at the left site?
