Add widget area to to header? - by fraser@yourwebsitepa.co.uk

Hi

I would like to replace the search bar with a widget area (for a replacement search function)

I can create the widget area in functions.php (with help from a blog)

function wpb_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
‘name’ => ‘Header Widget’,
‘id’ => ‘header-widget’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”hw-widget”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h2 class=”hw-title”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,
) );

}
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘wpb_widgets_init’ );

and the following code in header.php should allow it to appear, but it is not showing.

<?php

if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘header-widget’ ) ) : ?>
<div id=”header-widget-area” class=”hw-widget widget-area” role=”complementary”>
<?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘header-widget’ ); ?>
</div>

<?php endif; ?>

But it isnt showing, please can you help?
