Theming the sidebar

    Hi all,

    I got some problem when trying to add custom html tag for dynamic sidebar.

    the desired result is :

    <div class="custom">
   <h2>Widget title</h2>
   <div class="custom-wrapper"> <!-- this is the problem -->
    some widget content .....
   </div>
  </div>

    I tried to use :

    register_sidebar( array(
		'name' => __( 'Primary Widget Area', 'patriot' ),
		'id' => 'primary-widget-area',
		'description' => __( 'The primary widget area', 'patriot' ),
		'before_widget' => '<div class="custom">',
		'after_widget' => '</div>',
		'before_title' => '<h3>',
		'after_title' => '</h3>',
	) );

    which resulted in :

    <div class="custom">
   <h3>widget title</h3>
   some widget content ...
</div>

    Is there a way to add a wrapping for the widget content?

    TIA

    I don’t know if this works but give it a try:

    register_sidebar( array(
		'name' => __( 'Primary Widget Area', 'patriot' ),
		'id' => 'primary-widget-area',
		'description' => __( 'The primary widget area', 'patriot' ),
		'before_widget' => '<div class="custom">',
		'after_widget' => '</div></div>',
		'before_title' => '<h3>',
		'after_title' => '</h3><div class="custom-wrapper">',
	) );

    Thanks for the reply,

    I tried it and it is working if the widget has title, and if the widget has no title then the html would look like :

    <div class="custom">
    some widget content .....
   </div>
  </div><!-- notice the extra closing div -->

    Thus breaking all the theme layout.
