Widgetizing theme in wordpress - 7-Views

Widgetizing is creating widget area in your theme. For this you need to add below code inside your functions.php file

function mytheme_widgets_init() {

  register_sidebar( array(
    'name'          => 'Sidebar Right',
    'id'            => 'sidebar_right',
    'before_widget' => '<div>',
    'after_widget'  => '</div>',
    'before_title'  => '<h2>',
    'after_title'   => '</h2>',
  ) );

}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'mytheme_widgets_init' );

Once added look into your widget area a new widget section will be there named by Sidebar Right

After creating the widget section we need to display the widget section. For this add the code directly to a theme file like the sidebar.php file;

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar_right' ) ) : ?>
  <div id="primary-sidebar" class="primary-sidebar widget-area" role="complementary">
    <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar_right' ); ?>
  </div><!-- #primary-sidebar -->
<?php endif; ?>
