Add a second footer to theme or add content to bottom of body?

Here’s a snippet to help

Hi @rdellconsulting

Thanks for your response.

The link you provided is the same one I posted above. It’s the one I used to replace the default footer.

Could I just add it again to add a new footer??

Thanks for your help!

Sorry about that. Seeing your current footer made me think you had the original.

Try this one

Remember they are widgets so you can have multiple ones.

Hi @rdellconsulting

Thanks for the snippet it worked great, but as always there is a problem.

I was able to add the fourth footer area with the first snippet. Also added the “Spacing your widget area correctly with the others” snippet.

But when I try to add the last snippet to place this new footer on top of my existing footer, the “Use case 2 : adding a fourth widget area above (before) the three defaults footer widget area” snippet, I get an error on my site and I have to remove the code through the FTP. Could it be because I don’t have the default theme footer? Something in that code could be calling for the default theme’s footer. But since I replaced my footer with a new one, this is why it gives an error, maybe?

I tested the “Footer widget area four” and it worked, it showed the widget I wanted, but it was under my existing footer, I would like to move it to the top of it. Can you help with this?

Thanks!

What about this but with the action hook __before_footer to place it before the tag <footer> or the action hook __footer with a higher priority (low number, like ‘0’ :P), to place it inside the <footer> but before the default widget area?

Hi @d4z_c0nf

Thanks for your reply.

I don’t know anything at all about that programming language so I don’t think I’d be able to make any changes to the code. Is there any other way I could move this new footer on top the existing one without having to change any code myself?

Thanks for your help!

TheMaadWiddler1200 , it’s not about programming language, it’s just about replace a string in a text with another one:
here:
add_action ('__after_header', 'add_my_widget_area', 10);

a)
replace __after_header and 10 with
__footer and 0

b) replace __after_header with
__before_footer

Meke your choice.
You wanna make a lot of changes for one who says:

I don’t know anything at all about that programming language

??

Haha, I just want my site to look good that’s all, that’s why I’m making lots of changes. I really don’t know anything about that programming language. And from my experience with it so far that I’ve been using it (copy and paste mostly! xD), it’s very sensitive. One mistake and my whole site is broken, I have to log in to my FTP and remove that code. That’s why I’d rather not mess around with it on my own :p .

But I’ll give it a try though now that you’ve made it easy. ??

Okay I did it, and it worked! I replaced the code with the “b” text and it worked. I was 100% I was gonna mess up, but I’m glad I didn’t.

Thank you for your help, @d4z_c0nf! ??

Hey @d4z_c0nf, is there a way I can target this new footer in CSS to reduce it’s size in both heightxwidth? I have an image gallery in this new footer (5 pics) but they’re a bit to big, can I reduce this new footer’s size?

Thanks for your help!

Okay never mind that last question, I found the css selector in the page you linked to. Thanks!
