Codebloo Design I generally create several page templates following the format set up in the pages README.txt
Is there a similar way to include custom sidebars?
If I want to create a custom sidebar for "About us" can I create sidebar-about.php and then include it within the page template somehow?
My instinct is to put something like the following in my page template, but it doesn't work.
<?php get_sidebar('about') ?>
Is there a way around this?
Thanks!
Alex King If you want a custom sidebar for a particular page template, and it is not re-used in any other page template, put the code for the sidebar directly in the page template. There is no need to abstract it to another file if it's only in use in one place.
Codebloo Design Sure thing, in that case that makes sense but I was really just using a simple example for the sake of ease.
The question is how to include custom sidebars on pages (where there's no author/post, etc context). Is there a way to create and include a custom sidebar that is NOT copy/pasted directly into the template?
Many thanks.
