What I am trying to do is pre-populate the sidebar widget area with some default widgets on theme activation.
if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar' ) ) :
does add the widgets but it doesnot show up in the sidebar of widgets section and
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar' ) ) {
this function doesnot work if the widgets are not loaded in the sidebar widgetized area.
I know it is possible but I am just out of idea. I googled but didnot find any solutions. Thank you for any help in advance.
