(4 different pages)

I registered them, and they are showing up in the “widgets” section, and I also added the code to sidebar.php, but when I tried calling the appropriate sidebar to a particular page, it didn’t work.

How do I call each sidebar to each different page?

Thanks!!

I’m working on my first custom wordpress theme and am realizing all of the things I took for granted with the free, already styled templates I’ve been using. I wish more tutorials were as straightforward as this one.

These can then be added to your theme with a simple template tag. I hope this may be of some use.
