I am new here as well as in web development :) I have a question about wordpress. I try to make sidebar-widgets.
In my sidebar.php file I write:
<div id="sidebar">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
<div>some html here </div>
<?php endif; ?>
and in function.php
<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )
register_sidebar();
?>
But it does not appear in widgets list, but when I click appearance-widget, in right part it appears Sidebar 1, and I can't even move it.
Can you please help me how to do it? Thanks

In your functions.php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ){
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'Sidebar',
'id' => 'sidebar_widget_1',
'description' => 'Widgets in this area will be shown in the sidebar.',
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="%2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2>',
'after_title' => '</h2>'
)
);
In your sidebar.php
<div id="sidebar">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar') ) : ?>
<div>some html here </div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
