Two Sidebards in Wordpress

[ianbee]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create two sidebars that work with widgets.  Right now my theme I downloaded has one widget-working sidebar. Here's the coding for functions.php

PHP Code: [Select]

 */
function sundance_widgets_init() {

register_sidebar( array(

'name' => __( 'Sidebar', 'sundance' ),

'id' => 'sidebar-1',

'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',

'after_widget' => "</aside>",

'before_title' => '<h1 class="widget-title">',

'after_title' => '</h1>',

) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'sundance_widgets_init' );

/**

And here is the code for the sidebar.php:

PHP Code: [Select]

<?php
/**
 * The Sidebar containing the main widget areas.
 *
 * @package Sundance
 * @since Sundance 1.0
 */
?>
<?php

$options = sundance_get_theme_options();

if ( 'off' == $options['show_rss_link']

&& ''  == $options['twitter_url']

&& ''  == $options['facebook_url']

&& ''  == $options['google_url']

&& ''  == $options['flickr_url']

&& ! is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' )

)

return;
?>

<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">

<?php do_action( 'before_sidebar' ); ?>

<?php

if ( 'off' != $options['show_rss_link']

|| ''  != $options['twitter_url']

|| ''  != $options['facebook_url']

|| ''  != $options['google_url']

|| ''  != $options['flickr_url']

) :

?>

<div class="syndicate">

<ul>

<?php if ( 'off' != $options['show_rss_link'] ) : ?>

<li><a class="rss-link" href="<?php echo get_feed_link( 'rss2' ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'RSS', 'sundance' ); ?>"><span><?php _e( 'RSS Feed', 'sundance' ); ?></span></a></li>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( ''!= $options['twitter_url'] ) : ?>

<li><a class="twitter-link" href="<?php echo esc_url( $options['twitter_url'] ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Twitter', 'sundance' ); ?>"><span><?php _e( 'Twitter', 'sundance' ); ?></span></a></li>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( ''!= $options['facebook_url'] ) : ?>

<li><a class="facebook-link" href="<?php echo esc_url( $options['facebook_url'] ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Facebook', 'sundance' ); ?>"><span><?php _e( 'Facebook', 'sundance' ); ?></span></a></li>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( ''!= $options['google_url'] ) : ?>

<li><a class="google-link" href="<?php echo esc_url( $options['google_url'] ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Google+', 'sundance' ); ?>"><span><?php _e( 'Google Plus', 'sundance' ); ?></span></a></li>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( ''!= $options['flickr_url'] ) : ?>

<li><a class="flickr-link" href="<?php echo esc_url( $options['flickr_url'] ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Flickr', 'sundance' ); ?>"><span><?php _e( 'Flickr', 'sundance' ); ?></span></a></li>

<?php endif; ?>

</ul>

</div><!-- .syndicate -->

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>

<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?>

<?php endif; // end sidebar widget area ?>

</div><!-- #secondary .widget-area -->

I tried creating a sidebar2.php and changing the php settings within that page to "sidebar-2" not "sidebar-1" and copy and pasted the code

PHP Code: [Select]

 'name' => __( 'Sidebar', 'sundance' ), 'id' => 'sidebar-1',
and changed it to sidebar-2. But that just broke my theme.

Any suggestions?
