I've created a custom widget area in the plugin I'm creating.
function arphabet_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Home right sidebar',
'id' => 'home_right_1',
'before_widget' => '<div>',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2 class="rounded">',
'after_title' => '</h2>',
) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'arphabet_widgets_init' );
dynamic_sidebar( 'home_right_1' );
And to enable showing the widgets stored in this widget I have inserted this code inside the footer.php of the theme I'm currently using for testing.
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home_right_1' ) ) : ?>
<div id="primary-sidebar" class="primary-sidebar widget-
area" role="complementary">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'home_right_1' ); ?>
</div><!-- #primary-sidebar -->
<?php endif; ?>
It works, when I add widgets to my widget area, they are shown in footer of the website. But I want to make the plugin works without changing the footer.php manually. How can I check which theme is activated and then find that theme, the footer.php file and add that code exacltly where I want (to be shown below any other footer created with the theme when is installed. Also, I would like to remove the footer that was generated before.
