I also have sidebars which I can identify normally, but I don't want to create several sidebar-(x).php which would all be very simple and identical (they'd only call dynamic_sidebar(x)). Actually, in most themes I create I end up using the same code for several sidebars. I'm facing two issues here: 1 - I can't get the current sidebar name in the default sidebar.php template file I worked around this by setting a global variable which is assigned the current sidebar name when the get_sidebar action is fired. Then I call dynamic_sidebar with this variable as the parameter. 2 - load_template() doesn't load a template twice Either load_template calls require instead of require_once or get_sidebar() gets a change like the one that was done with get_search_form() in ticket 9908 , where the require was moved inside the get_search_form() function. Like the search form template, the sidebar template is one which may be called multiple times. Maybe the 2nd option would be a better fit.
