Hey Chris,

I upgraded my Wordpress site to its latest version (4.2.1) and it came back with a code warning:

Notice: register_sidebar was called incorrectly. No id was set in the arguments array for the “Live Widgets” sidebar. Defaulting to “sidebar-1”. Manually set the id to “sidebar-1” to silence this notice and keep existing sidebar content.

I finally found where this was coming from in the functions.php:

///////////////////////
//SIDEBAR GENERATOR (FOR SIDEBAR AND FOOTER)
/////////////////////// 

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'Live Widgets’,
 'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">’,
 'after_widget' => '’,
 'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">’,
 'after_title' => '</h2>', 'description' => 'Place up to 4 widgets in this space.’
));

I honestly have no idea where to place the sidebar-1 code at. Does this make sense to you?

My website is http://www.jelproduction.net and you can see the warning just above the middle slider section.

Thanks for your help.
