No Hooks.

Usage
is_dynamic_sidebar();
Examples
#1 Check the presence of widgets
Display the text if the theme supports widgets:
<?php
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'left-sidebar' ) ) : ?>
<ul id="sidebar">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'left-sidebar' ); ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if( is_dynamic_sidebar() ){
// Theme supports widgets and at least one widget is installed
// for the widget panel. Let's bring it out:
?>
<ul id="sidebar">
<?php dynamic_sidebar(); ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?> #2 Checking for a sidebar
To check the presence of sidebars in the plugin code, when you want to connect a widget to a theme, only if there is at least one sidebar, you might need to put a priority on the hook widgets_init, because if you don't put a priority, your function might work faster than at least one sidebar is registered:
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'widget_init_my_widget', 999 );
Notes
- Global. Array. $wp_registered_widgets Registered widgets.
