[FIXED] How to Register Multiple Sidebars at once in functions.php

Issue

I am trying to register multiple sidebars at once and access theme by different id's just like we are registering multiple menus at once i.e. Main-Menu and Footer-menu.

<?php register_nav_menus(array('primary-menu' => 'Main-Menu','secondary-menu' => 'Footer-menu')); ?>

• How we will do this with sidebars as well.We just write one line code and register multiple sidebars at once.

Solution

You need to use the WordPress native function register_sidebars().

You will be able to register multiple sidebars at once as your menus.

register_sidebars( 2, array(
    'before_widget' => '<div class="widget %d">',
    'after_widget' => '</div>',
    'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
    'after_title' => '</h2>',        
    'name'=>__( 'My sidebar %d', 'textdomain' )   
);

The register_sidebar() function is a better way to achieve this but it takes more than 1 line.
