Adding widget to Header.php file doesn't show in the home page?

Question

i am working on a simple WordPress blog and i am trying to display a widget that appears in every page in the website .. i have followed the dynamic sidebar widget approach, but the problem ,

here is the Function.php file

 function wpb_widgets_init() { register_sidebar( array( 'name' => 'Custom Header Widget', 'id' => 'custom-header-widget', 'before_widget' => '<div class="chw-widget">', 'after_widget' => '</div>', 'before_title' => '<h2 class="chw-title">', 'after_title' => '</h2>', ) ); } add_action( 'widgets_init', 'wpb_widgets_init' ); 

and my header.php file

 <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'custom-header-widget' ) ) : ?> <div id="header-widget-area" class="chw-widget-area widget-area" role="complementary"> <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'custom-header-widget' ); ?> </div> <?php endif; ?> 

and this works fine only in any single post .

but in the home page/or any template file nothing shows !!! Any ideas ?

Answer 1

You can try this structure and make sure your sidebar active

Answer 2

我已经弄清楚我必须为我的新sideBar创建一个名为sidebar-.php的模板文件，并使用get_sidebar（id）方法将其命名为Voilet，它适用于所有模板...
