In sidebar.php I can see the #secondary Div,but cannot see it’s nesting.The code looks as follows:

$options = twentyeleven_get_theme_options();
$current_layout = $options['theme_layout'];

if ( 'content' != $current_layout ) :
?>
		<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
			<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>

				<aside id="archives" class="widget">
					<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e( 'Archives', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>
					<ul>
						<?php wp_get_archives( array( 'type' => 'monthly' ) ); ?>
					</ul>
				</aside>

				<aside id="meta" class="widget">
					<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e( 'Meta', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>
					<ul>
						<?php wp_register(); ?>
						<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
						<?php wp_meta(); ?>
					</ul>
				</aside>

			<?php endif; // end sidebar widget area ?>
		</div><!-- #secondary .widget-area -->
<?php endif; ?>

As I am not really too hot with PHP I’m not really sure what’s going on here.Using the Developer tools in chrome I can ‘see’ the html which causes the #secondary Div to sit in the #Main Div and move it but I cannot find the source code which drives it.

Please bare in mind I’m a relative novice when it comes to this stuff….eeek.

Does anyone know where I can locate the HTML code which sets the nesting for #primary,#main and #secondary?

Apolagies for the misinformation but you are indeed correct about the nesting.That hasn’t deviated from the main template.

Here is a link to the site:

It isn’t the final design,as I want to get the layout correct first before I finish the styling.

You will also notice that the site has been ajaxed so that the widget area doesn’t refresh when you load a page because I want you to be able to continue listening to the soundcloud links without interuption whilst navigating around the site.This has however broken the nav bar rollover/focus elements which I also need to remedy.

Hi.

Yes I have all ready created an extensively customised childtheme including code to include it as a theme option within the dashboards theme settings.

I just can’t figure out why I can’t get it to ‘stretch’.I’ve tried setting the secondary’s height values to auto,100% but still no dice.

I understand that.However I thought it would be possible like it is for any other website to not have the secondary DIV refresh?So yes the URL would still change for the relevant page but the Widget Area would simply not refresh along with the content in the Primary DIV.

No I haven’t as the question is only loosely related to the plug-in.The question itself is whether or not it is possible to NOT have the widget sidebar refresh when navigating around the site.

Possibly that could be the case.

Surely though it must be possibly to set the secondary widget are so that it simply just doesn’t refresh.

Wouldn’t things quickly get complicated by retrieving the main content area dynamically as this would also involve commenting etc.
