3 new widgets (page-new.php)

Hey Tom, I'm stuck in something here. (I'm using child theme)
I need to create 3 widgets area after header so I created a new page (page-homepage.php) and I call the new widgets:
<div class="grid-container">
<div class="grid-33"><?php dynamic_sidebar( 'left-top' ); ?></div>
<div class="grid-33"><?php dynamic_sidebar( 'mid-top' ); ?></div>
<div class="grid-33"><?php dynamic_sidebar( 'right-top' ); ?></div>
</div>And my functions.php I used this code:
<?php
/**
* Generate child theme functions and definitions
*
* @package Generate
*/
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'generate_widgets_init' );
function generate_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Left Top', 'generate' ),
'id' => 'left-top',
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget inner-padding %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_start_widget_title', '<h4 class="widget-title">' ),
'after_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_end_widget_title', '</h4>' ),
) );
function generate_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Mid Top', 'generate' ),
'id' => 'mid-top',
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget inner-padding %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_start_widget_title', '<h4 class="widget-title">' ),
'after_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_end_widget_title', '</h4>' ),
) );
function generate_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Right Top', 'generate' ),
'id' => 'right-top',
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget inner-padding %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_start_widget_title', '<h4 class="widget-title">' ),
'after_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_end_widget_title', '</h4>' ),
) );
}
?>The problem is that I'm getting syntax error on my functions.php (line 38), do you know what can I do for fix that?
Hi there,
You're using the same function name as the parent theme, and you're calling it 3 times.
PHP doesn't allow for the same function names to run as it doesn't know which one to read.
Try this:
<?php
/**
* Generate child theme functions and definitions
*
* @package Generate
*/
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'generate_custom_widgets_init' );
function generate_custom_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Left Top', 'generate' ),
'id' => 'left-top',
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget inner-padding %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_start_widget_title', '<h4 class="widget-title">' ),
'after_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_end_widget_title', '</h4>' ),
) );
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Mid Top', 'generate' ),
'id' => 'mid-top',
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget inner-padding %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_start_widget_title', '<h4 class="widget-title">' ),
'after_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_end_widget_title', '</h4>' ),
) );
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Right Top', 'generate' ),
'id' => 'right-top',
'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget inner-padding %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_start_widget_title', '<h4 class="widget-title">' ),
'after_title' => apply_filters( 'generate_end_widget_title', '</h4>' ),
) );
}Now the error it's:
Cannot redeclare generate_widgets_init()
Should use "remove_action" first? Any clue?
I found this topic https://wordpress.org/support/topic/override-twentyeleven-functionsphp-using-child-theme
maybe I should try to do that?
Sorry about that - try the code now :)
Yes, that is it! Thank you so much for your support!
Your theme is just awesome!
You just changed the function name?
Yea - generate_widget_init is called in the core theme, and you can't call the same function twice :)
