在Wordpress中的footer.php中创建小部件

Question

I've googled around quite a lot, but can't seem to find where I should be saving the code for the widget I've created. It's a bit baffling.

Can anyone tell me where I should save my widget?

Please follow the steps below

1. Register the footer widget area

Open the functions.php file from the WordPress Theme Editor and search for the following line of code:

register_sidebar

That should take you to the area where all the sidebars are registered in your theme.

Add the following block of code just below the other sidebar registration code (we are telling it to register 3 footer widget areas):

register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Footer Sidebar 1',
'id' => 'footer-sidebar-1',
'description' => 'Appears in the footer area',
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Footer Sidebar 2',
'id' => 'footer-sidebar-2',
'description' => 'Appears in the footer area',
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Footer Sidebar 3',
'id' => 'footer-sidebar-3',
'description' => 'Appears in the footer area',
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );

2. Show the footer widget area in your theme

Open your footer.php file and insert the following block of code where you want to show the footer widgets (this will show the 3 footer widget areas if they have any widgets in them):

<div id="footer-sidebar" class="secondary">
<div id="footer-sidebar1">
<?php
if(is_active_sidebar('footer-sidebar-1')){
dynamic_sidebar('footer-sidebar-1');
}
?>
</div>
<div id="footer-sidebar2">
<?php
if(is_active_sidebar('footer-sidebar-2')){
dynamic_sidebar('footer-sidebar-2');
}
?>
</div>
<div id="footer-sidebar3">
<?php
if(is_active_sidebar('footer-sidebar-3')){
dynamic_sidebar('footer-sidebar-3');
}
?>
</div>
</div>

3. Style the footer widget area to your liking

Add the following block of CSS code to your theme’s style.css file to add some basic styling to the footer widgets you just added. Customize it a little to match your needs. Our how to use firebug tutorial should come in handy for this.

#footer-sidebar {
display:block;
height: 250px;
}

#footer-sidebar1 {
float: left;
width: 340px;
margin-left:5px;
margin-right:5px;
}

#footer-sidebar2 {
float: left;
width: 340px;
margin-right:5px;
}

#footer-sidebar3 {
float: left;
width: 340px;
}
