New Sidebar Takes Over Previous Sidebar Widgets

[imikedesigns]

When creating a new sidebar in a theme already utilizing a sidebar, the new sidebar takes on the widgets of the sidebar previously occupying that place of order. For example, a theme currently has these sidebars, with widgets in use:

Sidebar
Footer

Adding a new sidebar in a array:

$sidebars = array('Home Page Sidebar','Sidebar','Footer');

foreach ($sidebars as $sidebar) {

  register_sidebar(array('name'=> $sidebar,

    'before_widget' => '<article id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s"><div class="container">',

    'after_widget' => '</div></article>',

    'before_title' => '<h3>',

    'after_title' => '</h3>'

  ));

}

Home Page Sidebar takes the widgets of the Sidebar when it takes in place in line.

Unless you are relying on incrementally number named sidebars you should be adding an id to the array.

 * When allowing for automatic generation of the name and ID parameters, keep
 * in mind that the incrementor for your sidebar can change over time depending
 * on what other plugins and themes are installed.

For incremental sidebars you normally just name them Sidebar and the id would be 'sidebar-'.&x
