Tagged: Widget Area
I am adding a widget area, but only want it to appear only on posts and pages. I tried to use
if ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) && is_active_sidebar( 'igmr_widget_area_above_container' )
but I am getting an error.Here is what I have now:
register_sidebar( array( 'name' => 'IGMR Before Container Area', 'id' => 'igmr_before_container_area', 'description' => __( 'Displays above container', 'text_domain' ), 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</div>', 'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">', 'after_title' => '</h3>' ) ); } function igmr_widget_area_above_container() { if ( is_active_sidebar( 'igmr_before_container_area' ) ) : ?> <div id="above-container" class="inner clearfix"> <section id="above-container-area"> <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'igmr_before_container_area' ); ?> </section> </div> <!-- #above-container --> <?php endif; } add_action( 'cb_before_container', 'igmr_widget_area_above_container' );
Is there a way to do this so that new widget area only appears on pages and posts?
Hi Jessica,
Can you please give it a try and se eif it works?/** * Register widgets. */ function buddydev_custom_theme_register_widgets() { register_sidebar( array( 'name' => 'IGMR Before Container Area', 'id' => 'igmr_before_container_area', 'description' => __( 'Displays above container', 'text_domain' ), 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</div>', 'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">', 'after_title' => '</h3>' ) ); } add_action( 'widgets_init', 'buddydev_custom_theme_register_widgets' ); function igmr_widget_area_above_container() { if ( is_active_sidebar( 'igmr_before_container_area' ) && is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) ) : ?> <div id="above-container" class="inner clearfix"> <section id="above-container-area"> <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'igmr_before_container_area' ); ?> </section> </div> <!-- #above-container --> <?php endif; } add_action( 'cb_before_container', 'igmr_widget_area_above_container' );
In the previous code you shared, it seems that was a misplaced bracket ‘}’

BrajeshThank you. I am using this for an Adsense area and wanted to avoid it displaying on 404 pages. When using the above methods, I lost the area on the blog page. I used this instead:
function igmr_container() { if ( !is_404() && is_active_sidebar( 'igmr_before_container_area' ) ) : ?> <div id="igmr-container" <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'igmr_before_container_area' ); ?> <!-- #igmr_container --> <?php endif; } add_action( 'cb_before_container_contents', 'igmr_container',1);

Hi Jessica,
I am not sure but it seems the code in the forum post in incorrect. Please make sure you have the divs closed.Condition seems good to me.

BrajeshI caught and corrected the div. Thank you! What do you mean by the “code in forum post”?
Hi Jessica,
I am glad you fixed it.By forum post I mean code in your previous post in this topic. I thought that it might have got posted incorrectly.
