How to add sidebar (widget) placeholder in Wordpress

I didn't find too many posts on Google about this, so I thought I'm going to help you guys to add sidebar (widget) placeholder in Wordpress; it's really so simple:

1 Register your sidebar

Simply open your template's functions.php (by default it's wp-content/themes/[yourtheme] - where [yourtheme] is the folder name of your theme):

Mine looked like this:
(click in the box to highlight the code for copy)<?php if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) { register_sidebar( array( 'name' => 'Sidebar1', 'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</li>', 'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">', 'after_title' => '</h2>' ) ); register_sidebar( array( 'name' => 'Sidebar2', 'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</li>', 'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">', 'after_title' => '</h2>' ) ); } ?>

So I just added before the ?> closing tag the following code:
(click in the box to highlight the code for copy)register_sidebar( array( 'name' => 'Sidebar3', 'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'before_widget' =></li>', 'before_title' => '<span class="widgettitle">', 'after_title' => '</span>' ) );

As you can see, the only thing I did was to copy one set of codes of the sidebars above and pasted it changing the name from 2 to 3. You can change the before_widget, before_widget, before_title and after_title values to whatever you want; you'll be able to use these values later on when styling your widget.

2 Insert the placeholder into your page

Insert this code into the page you want to see the sidebar on:
(click in the box to highlight the code for copy)<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar2')): ?> <li></li> <?php endif; ?>

3 Add Widgets to the sidebar

Go to Widgets in your Wordpress admin page and add a widget to your newly created sidebar (in my case it is called 'Sidebar3')

4 Style it!

Just add some id's and classes into your page before the sidebar placeholder and style them in your theme's .css.

And we're done! ;)
