WordPress how to create dynamic sidebar with widget supportable

Hi, in this post I am going to show how to Develop wordpress dynamic sidebar with widget for a custom wordpress theme, for that

First: Go to function.php file and write the below code to declare a sidebar

//To Register a sidebar
function theme_slug_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name'          => __( 'Main Sidebar', 'theme-slug' ),
'id'            => 'sidebar-1',
'description'   => __( 'Widgets in this area will be shown on all posts and pages.', 'theme-slug' ),
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget'  => '</li>',
'before_title'  => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
'after_title'   => '</h2>',
) );
}

add_action( 'widgets_init', 'theme_slug_widgets_init' );

1. Here the add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘theme_slug_widgets_init’ ); the parameter ‘widgets_init’is for init the widget and ‘theme_slug_widgets_init’ is the name of the function to be call.
2. function theme_slug_widgets_init() is the function name which is called by the widget init
3. register_sidebar() is the function foe register sidebar you van use multiple register_sidebar() function inside the function calling from the widget init.
4. In side register_sidebar() function there should be an array of arguments.
5. Here the id ‘sidebar-1’ will be used to get the sidebar widgets

Second: you have declared the sidebar and widget can be added from admin panel now open the sidebar.php if not created already please create a sidebar.php file inside your theme folder

Third: write the below code to get the widgets attached with the sidebar

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>
<ul id="primary-sidebar" class="primary-sidebar widget-area" role="complementary">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?>
</ul><!-- #primary-sidebar -->
<?php endif; ?>

1. Here the ‘sidebar-1’ is the id of the sidebar declared in functions.php
2. dynamic_sidebar( ); is the function to get the sidebar and inside that have to pass the id of the registered sidebar

Fourth: Save all the files add widget from admin panel to the registered sidebar and <?php get_sidebar(); ?> function in any pages to get the sidebar.php file and then run the file. And you have done.
