WordPress. How to manage hidden widgets<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Hidden widgets are displayed in sidebar area of the posts pages when Sidebar widget area is empty. <\/p>\r\n

Default hidden widgets are the following: Search , Navigation, Archives<\/strong> and Meta<\/strong>. <\/p>\r\n

\"WordPress_How_to_manage_hidden_widgets\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Open your WordPress installation directory and navigate to wp-content\\themes\\CherryFramework<\/strong> folder. <\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Copy sidebar.php<\/strong> from CheryFramework folder to \\themeXXXXX<\/strong> folder (where XXXXX is your actual theme number). This will keep your changes if CherryFramework is updated.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    sidebar.php<\/strong> file contains the following code:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n<?php\r\n  \/**\r\n  * Sidebar Name: Static Sidebar\r\n  *\/\r\n  ?>\r\n<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( theme_locals("sidebar") )) : ?>\r\n  <div id="sidebar-search" class="widget">\r\n  <?php echo '<h3>' . theme_locals("search") . '<\/h3>'; ?>\r\n  <?php get_search_form(); ?> <!-- outputs the default WordPress search form-->\r\n  <\/div>\r\n <div id="sidebar-nav" class="widget menu">\r\n  <?php echo '<h3>' . theme_locals("navigation") . '<\/h3>'; ?>\r\n  <?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Sidebar Menu' )); ?> <!-- editable within the WordPress backend -->\r\n  <\/div>\r\n <div id="sidebar-archives" class="widget">\r\n  <?php echo '<h3>' . theme_locals("archives") . '<\/h3>'; ?>\r\n  <ul>\r\n  <?php wp_get_archives( 'type=monthly' ); ?>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n <div id="sidebar-meta" class="widget">\r\n  <?php echo '<h3>' . theme_locals("meta") . '<\/h3>'; ?>\r\n  <ul>\r\n  <?php wp_register(); ?>\r\n  <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?><\/li>\r\n  <?php wp_meta(); ?>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<?php endif; ?>\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
