Footer widget missing

    Hi there, I want to set up a footer exactly the same as the one on my other business page (www.epiphanybeads.co.uk).

    Nothing I do will conjure up the Footer widget. I’ve got the Twenty-Twelve theme – is this why it won’t work? I can’t change theme now. I need to be able to set up a decent looking footer like the one I have on my other website (as explained above).

    Ideally would be great to be able to do this via the widget but any other suggestions would be welcome. Something easy to use!

    So far I’ve tried Customise Menu > Main Sidebar > Add a Widget (searched “Footer” – no results). I’ve also tried Widgets > and looking for the widget manually as well as Ctrl + F, typing in “footer” – nothing. Not there! I’ve also looked in the Inactive Widgets list – not there.

    I also don’t have any other “Screen Options” under the Widget menu other than Enable Accessibility Mode, which also doesn’t conjure it up.

    Help! Driving me mental.

    Thanks,
    FP

  • Hi @feesplacegooglemailcom,
    the TwentyTwelve theme doesn’t include a footer widget area, as far as I can see.
    In order to create the footer you need, you will have to edit the theme. I would suggest creating a Child Theme so updates to the original theme will not revert any changes you made.

    I’m really not confident doing this – is there an easier way to create a footer with a plugin that is easy to use?
