Registering additional sidebar

[jmamuzich]

Hello,

I am trying to register a third sidebar that will show only on specific pages. I have gotten it to show up in the back end but not on the front end. Here is my code:

// Register a new sidebar for Caravans
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'caravans-sidebar',
'name' => 'Caravans Sidebar',
'description' => 'This is the caravans sidebar widget area.'
) );

add_action( 'get_header', 'trestle_sidebar_logic' );
function trestle_sidebar_logic() {
if ( is_page('3747') ) {
remove_action( 'genesis_after_content', 'genesis_get_sidebar' );
add_action( 'genesis_after_content', 'trestle_get_caravans_sidebar' );
}
}

/**
* Retrieve our unique caravans page sidebar.
*/
function trestle_get_caravans_sidebar() {
get_sidebar( 'caravans-sidebar' );
}

Can anyone please help me? I'm so close...

thank you

Hi,
Try the below code

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
‘id’ => ‘‘caravans-sidebar’,
‘name’ => ‘Caravans Sidebar’,
‘description’ => ‘This is the caravans sidebar widget area.’
) );

add_action('get_header','trestle_sidebar_logic');
function trestle_sidebar_logic() {
   if ( is_page(3747) ) {
        remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );
        add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'trestle_get_caravans_sidebar' );
    }
}

function trestle_get_caravans_sidebar() {
	genesis_widget_area( 'caravans-sidebar' );
}

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much 🙂

Sorry I have one more question: If I need to register additional sidebars of the same type, how would I do so? I realized I need different information for my caravans sections and there are 6 different ones - so I guess I need a separate sidebar for each. I tried registering them using the same type of code with different names and the different page #'s but it wasn't right because I couldn't access the widget area in the backend anymore - just the white screen of death.

thanks

Ok I got it to register two different sidebars so far. However, the primary sidebar is still showing on one of the pages and I'm not sure why. This is the code i have:

//* Register new sidebar for the blog and posts
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'custom-blog-sidebar',
'name' => 'Custom Blog Sidebar',
'description' => 'This is the sidebar for the Blog',
) );

add_action('get_header','custom_blog_sidebar');
function custom_blog_sidebar() {
if ( is_home() || is_archive() || is_single() ) {
remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );
add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'do_sidebar' );
}
}

function do_sidebar() {
genesis_widget_area( 'custom-blog-sidebar' );
}

// Register a new sidebar for Arden Caravan
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'arden-sidebar',
'name' => 'Arden Sidebar',
'description' => 'This is the arden caravans sidebar widget area'
) );

add_action('get_header','trestle_sidebar_logic');
function trestle_sidebar_logic() {
   if ( is_page('3747') ) {
        remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );
        add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'trestle_get_arden_sidebar' );
    }
}

function trestle_get_arden_sidebar() {
	genesis_widget_area( 'arden-sidebar' );
}

// Register a new sidebar for Carmichael Caravan
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'carmichael-sidebar',
'name' => 'Carmichael Sidebar',
'description' => 'This is the carmichael caravans sidebar widget area'
) );

add_action('get_header','trestle_sidebar_carmichael');
function trestle_sidebar_carmichael() {
   if ( is_page('3769') ) {
        remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar', 'do_sidebar', 'trestle_get_arden_sidebar' );
        add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'trestle_get_carmichael_sidebar' );
    }
}

function trestle_get_carmichael_sidebar() {
	genesis_widget_area( 'carmichael-sidebar' );
}

I need to register 4 or 5 sidebars similar to the carmichael and arden ones.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Changed
remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar', 'do_sidebar', 'trestle_get_arden_sidebar' );
To
remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );

now it works 🙂
