Question

EDIT: What’s weird is even if I comment out <?php get_footer(); ?> it still shows up… maybe this starter theme is doing some thing behind the scenes? I should mention, I’m using the HTML5 / Starkers boilerplate theme: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/boilerplate

The problem:

Having some problems adding a unique sidebar to my wordpress theme…

<?php get_sidebar( ‘inside’ ); ?>

is being called in subpage-template.php

This obviously is calling a non-dynamic sidebar file named sidebar-inside.php, which has this inside:

<?php ?>
    <div id="sidebar">
    </div>
<?php ?>

Simple. But for some reason, it’s pulling the original sidebar.php still. What gives?

Answer 1

Are you using the correct characters for single quotes? PHP doesn’t know the ‘ and ’, only the ‘.

Minor detail, but if the get_sidebar is exactly as you posted it in your question, that could be the problem.

(enlarged to show the difference more clearly:)

( ‘ ) and ( ’ ) are not ( ‘ )
