Here is complete code that runs this sidebar from sidebar-footer.php template:

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'first-footer-widget-area' ) ) : ?>
                <div id="first" class="widget-area">
                    <ul class="xoxo">
                        <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'first-footer-widget-area' ); ?>
                    </ul>
                </div><!-- #first .widget-area -->
<?php endif; ?>

You can move this snippet around, but it might break styling. Also Twenty Ten is often upgraded with WordPress and by itself and you will need to create child theme for it so your changes stick.

I'd first try to move widgets with CSS or maybe register separate sidebar if something specialized is needed.

  • @treesa I am not sure I understand your issue. Since it's not directly related to moving sidebars around it would make sense to create separate question for it.

Yes, you can place that code directly into any file and it will display the sidebar wherever you place it.
