[SOLVED] New widget area after 1st excerpt
Hi,
Is it doable to make a new widget area after the first excerpt in the center column and, if so, how do I do it? I'm talking about the following site: www.elektroretailmagazine.nl Cheers, Tim |
One way would be to edit index.php and put some code in the loop to check if it is a multi post page and if the post count is 2 and then execute the new widget code
|
Goodmorning JD (at least, over here it's morning),
Thnx for the reply. 2 more questions: where can I see & learn what this code would look like and if I alter index.php, does this mean I'll have to do this after each theme update? |
the code would be something like this
HTML Code:
<?php if ($bfa_ata_postcount == 2) { bfa_widget_area('name=middle widget area');} ?> UPDATE: that line would go right after the line HTML Code:
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $bfa_ata_postcount++; ?> |
Thank you very much JD.
Would working with a child theme solve this problem? If so, I guess I'll have to dig into that. Cheers, Tim |
not sure, you would have to try it out
|
Okay, thanks. I have some homework te do.
Cheers, Tim |
there is a widget area at the top of the center area now but it will only work before the first post (and it is a theme option)
|
Yes, I know. But of course, that's too easy for me. I want it somewhere else, after the first (or second, or third...) excerpt.
|
Tried inserting the code you gave me in functions.php, but that resulted in a syntax error. Either I placed it in the wrong place or there's something wrong with the code. Could you check to see if it's the latter, JD?
|
ummmm (warning: be prepared to give yourself a head slap) why don't you go back and read that post again about where I told you to put it
|
Oops, sorry. Guess it's Friday....
:o |
Did everything you said, Juggeldad, but the widget won't appear....
|
what is the exact code you used and where did you put it?
|
the code you gave me and the place you told me
|
if you go to the dashboard->appearances->widgets is the widget area showing up?
if not, attach a copy of your index.php to a reply |
Hi JD,
Solved it. Just a matter of putting the code in the right place. Thanks! |
