I’ve tried your code for two sidebars and it works but then when I try to add a third sidebar my whole site crashes. This is what is in my functions.php

‘Process Sidebar’));
}
register_sidebar(array(‘name’=>’Contact Sidebar’));
}
register_sidebar(array(‘name’=>’Services Sidebar’));

Any ideas?

Holy crapola!
It works, well almost. Now I just have to style it.
If I can get that working I am so squared away and so grateful. Thanks again, you made my day.

I still have one big problem: the sidebar doesn’t show on my site. I can see both sidebars on my widgets, i’ve already put stuff on it, but it’s not on the website!

Great tutorial. This worked wonders for needing a second sidebar without installing some plugin to do it for me.

I wanted to add for those who are interested in using a file such as: sidebar-2.php so they don’t clutter up their template, simple paste in the code in to sidebar-2.php

Then in your main template, for example index.php, you can use the preferred get_sidebar(); function to call that new file.

Use this syntax: get_sidebar(’2′); for the name will look for sidebar-NAME.php

Makes your template code look much cleaner. Thanks again for the great help.
