We have just released the latest update to our Widgets on Pages WordPress plugin. The changes for this latest release are as follows;
- Resolved potential conflict with other plugins. Thanks to Massa P for the tip-off.
- Sidebars/Widgets can be added through the use of template tags in the theme code. This provides a very simple way to add extra sidebars to your WordPress theme.
- Contextual help added (minimal but hopefully gives some direction).
- Improved use of id and class attributes for more standard proof CSS implementation. NOTE: this may mean that current CSS to remove default bullet points now breaks. Please see our blog post on removing these bullet points.
Using the Template Tags
The latest 0.0.7 release allows the addition of widgets (through the addition of sidebars) to your WordPress theme via the addition of a simple template tag. If, for example, you have a Widgets on Pages sidebar named “wop_1″ then you can add the following code to your theme’s PHP code. Note of course that this code needs to be added at the correct position in the code. Further information on WordPress template tags can be found at WordPress.org.
<?php widgets_on_template("wop_1"); ?>
