Footer Widget

Hi,
Do follow this snippet to add widgets to footer.

https://presscustomizr.com/snippet/adding-fourth-footer-widget-area/

Hi @campbells, there are only 3 predefined widgets zones in the Customizr theme.
You can of course add more zones but it would require to override the default theme’s code in a child theme.

@nikeo I am using the child theme. And I already have 4 widgets. I need one more widget added to the bottom.

Hi @campbells,

Do look at this post for the fifth footer widget.

I see this, but sorry i’m not very good with .css. I mostly have HTML experience. How would I add this into what I have?

Hi,
Add this to your chidl theme’s functions.php

add_filter( 'tc_footer_widgets', 'my_footer_widgets');
function my_footer_widgets( $default_widgets_area ) {
    $default_widgets_area['footer_four'] = array(
          'name'                 => __( 'Footer Widget Area Four' , 'customizr' ),
          'description'          => __( 'Just use it as you want !' , 'customizr' )
    );
	  $default_widgets_area['footer_five'] = array(
          'name'                 => __( 'Footer Widget Area Five' , 'customizr' ),
          'description'          => __( 'Just use it as you want !' , 'customizr' )
    );
    return $default_widgets_area;
}

And this to your child theme’s style.css

#footer_four {
    width: 40% !important; /* Adjust */
}
#footer_five {
    width: 40% !important; /* Adjust */
}

I tried this now I lost my 4th widget. I see the widget under the widget manager but my text drop down is gone. Anyway to restore back?

Hi,
Are you getting fourth and fifth widgets?

Hi! I too would like to add more widgets areas to the footer, but instead of before or after (like explained here https://presscustomizr.com/snippet/adding-fourth-footer-widget-area/) i would like to add them next to the current ones, can someone help with the code?

Thanks!
