Really enjoying playing with WordPress!

The sidebar thing however has me wondering if there is a way to have different pages show different sidebars? So if I made two different pages in WordPress one called A the other B, A would display sidebar 1 and B would display sidebar 2.

Just wondering 🙂

OK, so I registered the following code in functions.php in my theme directory:

// Area 7, located on all Pages. Empty by default.
	register_sidebar( array(
			'id' => 'page-sidebar',
			'name' => __( 'Page Sidebar' ),
			'description' => __( 'Sidebar for all user created pages.' ),
			'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
			'after_widget' => '</li>',
			'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
			'after_title' => '</h3>'
	) );

and called it in page.php from my theme folder thus:

<?php get_sidebar('page-sidebar'); ?>

The sidebar appears in admin under widgets but even if I use the area the actual page still shows the usual blog sidebar.
