Adding Custom Widget Area to homepage

[haagmeister]

I have added the code below to the locations listed below and the widget is not displaying on the homepage.

Child functions.php only code in it.

<?php
// Custom widget area.
 register_sidebar( array(
    'name' => __( 'Instagram Widget Area'),
    'id' => 'instagram-widget-area',
    'description' => __( 'An optional custom widget area for your site', 'neighborhood' ),
    'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
    'after_widget' => "</li>",
    'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
    'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );
?>

Also have added this line to the index.php where I wanted the widget to display

<?php
      if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Instagram Widget Area') ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Hi,

Although we can’t support user customizations it seems the code in the index.php is incorrect. Guess it should be like this in the place where you want to show it.

 if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') {
     dynamic_sidebar('Instagram Widget Area') );
}
