Creating A footer2.php File

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/get_footer

get_footer('Widgets') and a file footer-Widgets.php

or

<?php include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/footerWidgets.php' ); ?>

Thank you, I got it working but I’m still curious if there is a way to create a direct link to it like the way you do for get_footer or get_sidebar etc…

there is…. that was the first thing @alchymyth was referring to. You just have to name the file correctly….

file name: footer-custom.php call: get_footer('custom')

or

file name: sidebar-custom.php call: get_sidebar('custom')

No I got that working fine and I understand that, I just mean something new and unique to itself that you can directly link to like <?php get_notepad(); ?>

From my reading the footer-custom.php file is unique to a particular theme.

I would like to add a small (and common) code snippet

<?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?>

in a way that is not theme-dependent and upgrade proof.

Is there code that could be include in custom-php.php which file works with all themes?
