Discovery – Add extra widget in footer

  • How do I ad an extra widget in footer of Discovery Theme. 4 instead of 3?
    In the code file I′ve change into this; please see below
    But I can′t make it work. I also tried to ad an extra widget in Appearance > Widgets but I cant seem to be able to change into an extra column equal beside left, center and right column. Please advice.

    Code
    <div class=”col span_1_of_4″>
    <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘extra_column’ ) && dynamic_sidebar(‘extra_column’) ) : else : ?>
    <div class=”widget”>
    <?php echo ‘<h4>’ . __(‘Widget Ready’, ‘discovery’) . ‘</h4>’; ?>
    <?php echo ‘<p>’ . __(‘This extra column is widget ready! Add one in the admin panel.’, ‘discovery’) . ‘</p>’; ?>
    </div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    </div>

    Yes I have coded it both in footer.php and functions.php

    Also I have problems to change color in Nav, links etc the color settingadjustments are visible in the costomize mode, but not in site mode. It does not like to change color. I have made the css color settings i style.css.

    Also I cant make the The Service Boxess settings to work and to be visible on the site.
    The same with Partners Section settings with logos 1-4

    Also in the codefile I changed the social media icon for twitter to a Facebook icon (I would like to have two Facebook icons in the header. But the icon image does not want to switch into Facebook. I cashe the browser and wp-site all the time. But it doesn’t work.

    I would like to mention that I develop the site locally on my desktop and uses mySQL workbench for database.

    Can you please advice how to solve theese matters. Thank you and kind regards / Eva S

    Hello,

    for things such as service boxes, partner logos etc to work you will have to have a page that is using the custom homepage template. You can find instructions for this here:

    https://www.templateexpress.com/docs/discovery/#homepage-settings

    There is no need to change your icons. In the customizer you can already select a facebook and twitter icon along with many others.

    For your other issues it is very difficult for me to tell what you are doing wrong as you are working locally. I would have to see it in a browser so I could check with development tools.

    Hello!
    OK thank you. I understand. Regarding the Facebook icons I would like to have to Facebook icons i the header. Only that (because the site is for two organisations that where they have two different Facebook accounts (no Twitter, G+ or so) Therefore I want to change one of the icons (Twitter) images in the code into another Facebook icon. Like this, but it doesn′t work. Can you advice how to do it correct;

    /**
    * Social Media Links on Contributors template
    */
    function author_social_media( $socialmedialinks ) {

    $socialmedialinks[‘alternate_image’] = ‘Alternate Profile Image Url’;
    $socialmedialinks[‘google_profile’] = ‘Google+ URL’;
    $socialmedialinks[‘facebook_profile’] = ‘Facebook URL’;
    $socialmedialinks[‘facebook_profile’] = ‘Facebook URL’;
    $socialmedialinks[‘linkedin_profile’] = ‘Linkedin URL’;

    return $socialmedialinks;

    }

    Kind Regards / Eva S /
