窗口小部件没有出现在wordpress的主页侧边栏中

Question

I have added some widgets to my homepage sidebar, but they are not appearing on the home page. If I add some widgets to the main sidebar it will appear in home page, and other pages.

I am new to Wordpress, I don't know how to solve this issue, and also default widgets are not appearing. I am using wp-bootstrap theme and a Q/A paid plugin.

Answer 1

First of all register your homepage sidebar in function.php

function Name_widgets_init() {
    register_sidebar(array(
        'name' =>   __( 'homepage sidebar', 'test theme' ),
        'id' =>     'sidebar_homepage',
        'description' => __( 'This Wwill appear on homepage sidebar', 'test theme' )
    ) );
} 
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'Name_widgets_init' );

Than use this trick to display your widgets, put the following code to the home page where you want to add sidebar

<div class="sidebar_home" id="sidebar_left">

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-left' ) ) : ?>
        <div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
            <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar_homepage' ); ?>
        </div>
    <?php endif; ?>

</div>

Finally Note i have used a div in last chunk of code please write your own CSS to control it.
