Create widgets specific for archives and pages

[Frank]

Hello,

Can you help me to create two widget areas that show up after the content in archives and pages? I understand this can be done in the functions.php because I don't want to use yet another plugin.

Any help will be most appreciated. Regards

You can follow this tutorials to make the sidebars

When adding them you can make them conditional

Hello Nick,

I've tried the code you suggest nut using the is_page part and I get an error. Can you help me here?

/** Add content after page */
genesis_register_sidebar(array(
'name'=>'after-page-content',
'id' => 'after-page',
'description' => 'This is a widget after page',
));

add_action( 'genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap', 'child_after_content_ad_sidebar' );
/** Loads a new sidebar after the content */
function child_after_content_ad_sidebar() {
if ( is_page() && is_active_sidebar('after-page') ) {
echo '';
dynamic_sidebar('after-page');
echo '';
}
}

Hi Ozzy, this is the error:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/public_html/wp-content/themes/balance/functions.php on line 150


Where is that wrong?

Could you create a paste with your code here

We are looking at better solutions for the forums but right now that makes for a much better way to share the code you are using so we can see why it didn't work. Thanks.

[Frank]

Yes, I had difficulties to paste the code.

Pastie looks really good and here it is:

Also, every time I post something, the next page is a 404 error 🙁

Hello? Can anybody help me?

With the code above I cannot have new widgets for both archives and pages yet.

Thanks in advance.

Try

if ( is_active_sidebar('after-page') && ( is_page() || is_archive() ) )

Hello Jen,

I finally managed to have the widget as I want it, thanks a lot for your help 🙂

For those looking to add a widget area to pages and archives, this is the final code I'm now using:

As the widget still appears in all pages and the homepage, I'm using the "Conditional widgets" plugin to delete it from more specific places.

You're welcome 🙂
