Two Sidebards in Wordpress

[ianbee]

Hi everyone, I’m trying to create two sidebars that work with widgets. Right now my theme I downloaded has one widget-working sidebar. Here’s the coding for functions.php

[php] */
function sundance_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Sidebar’, ‘sundance’ ),
‘id’ => ‘sidebar-1’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘

’,
‘after_widget’ => “

”,
‘before_title’ => ‘

’,
‘after_title’ => ‘

’,
) );
}
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘sundance_widgets_init’ );

/**[/php]

And here is the code for the sidebar.php:

[php]<?php
/**

• The Sidebar containing the main widget areas.
• @package Sundance
• @since Sundance 1.0
  */
  ?>

<?php $options = sundance_get_theme_options(); if ( 'off' == $options['show_rss_link'] && '' == $options['twitter_url'] && '' == $options['facebook_url'] && '' == $options['google_url'] && '' == $options['flickr_url'] && ! is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) return; ?>

	<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
		<?php do_action( 'before_sidebar' ); ?>

		<?php
			if ( 'off' != $options['show_rss_link']
				|| ''  != $options['twitter_url']
				|| ''  != $options['facebook_url']
				|| ''  != $options['google_url']
				|| ''  != $options['flickr_url']
			) :
		?>
			<div class="syndicate">
				<ul>
					<?php if ( 'off' != $options['show_rss_link'] ) : ?>
						<li><a class="rss-link" href="<?php echo get_feed_link( 'rss2' ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'RSS', 'sundance' ); ?>"><span><?php _e( 'RSS Feed', 'sundance' ); ?></span></a></li>
					<?php endif; ?>

					<?php if ( ''!= $options['twitter_url'] ) : ?>
						<li><a class="twitter-link" href="<?php echo esc_url( $options['twitter_url'] ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Twitter', 'sundance' ); ?>"><span><?php _e( 'Twitter', 'sundance' ); ?></span></a></li>
					<?php endif; ?>

					<?php if ( ''!= $options['facebook_url'] ) : ?>
						<li><a class="facebook-link" href="<?php echo esc_url( $options['facebook_url'] ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Facebook', 'sundance' ); ?>"><span><?php _e( 'Facebook', 'sundance' ); ?></span></a></li>
					<?php endif; ?>

					<?php if ( ''!= $options['google_url'] ) : ?>
						<li><a class="google-link" href="<?php echo esc_url( $options['google_url'] ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Google+', 'sundance' ); ?>"><span><?php _e( 'Google Plus', 'sundance' ); ?></span></a></li>
					<?php endif; ?>

					<?php if ( ''!= $options['flickr_url'] ) : ?>
						<li><a class="flickr-link" href="<?php echo esc_url( $options['flickr_url'] ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Flickr', 'sundance' ); ?>"><span><?php _e( 'Flickr', 'sundance' ); ?></span></a></li>
					<?php endif; ?>

				</ul>
			</div><!-- .syndicate -->
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>

			<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?>

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

I tried creating a sidebar2.php and changing the php settings within that page to “sidebar-2” not “sidebar-1” and copy and pasted the code[php] ‘name’ => __( ‘Sidebar’, ‘sundance’ ), ‘id’ => ‘sidebar-1’,[/php]
and changed it to sidebar-2. But that just broke my theme.

Any suggestions?
