New Widget

[joy]

Hello, I am trying to add a new widget area but when I add the following code, my footer widgets disappear. Help?

COPY CODE

function kleo_widgets_init() {
    register_sidebar( array(
        'name' => 'Island Top Section',
        'id' => 'island_top_new_widget_area',
        'before_widget' => '<aside>',
        'after_widget' => '</aside>',
        'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
        'after_title' => '</h3>'
  ));
}

add_action ('widgets_init', 'kleo_widgets_init');

Thank you.

1 – Because you’re overriding the entire function that adds the Kleo specific widgets. If you’re going to override the function, you need to keep everything in there and just add yours.

2 – Why not do it via Appearance > Sidebars. That’s what its for.

Also, you dont add the add_action either. Its already being called.
