Footer – Insert & Move Widgets

    Dear support,

    I have two questions pertaining to the <footer>:

    1. Is it possible to move the <div class=”site-footer”></div> inside the actual <footer> object?
    2. I need to add a very simple <div> just above the Widget area, however, there is no hook called “generate_before_footer_widgets” – is there an alternative to this hook that will accomplish my goal?

    Thank you.

    Hi there,

    1. You need to take a copy of the footer.php file from the parent theme, paste it to your child theme folder, change line 25 <div <?php generate_do_attr( 'footer' ); ?>> to <footer <?php generate_do_attr( 'footer' ); ?>>, and change line 51 </div> to </footer>.
    2. The hook element is a GP Premium feature, we can not answer questions that are related to the premium plugins per WP’s regulation, please open a support topic in GP’s premium support forum, we will be happy to help there.

    Ying, per my first question, I’ve created a child theme, activated it and I can see the original footer.php output properly by way of the child theme. However, the code on lines 25 and 51 do not match up to your references/revisions. Additionally, I only copied over the footer.php file into the child theme. The Widget block(s) would be in another file, no? I imagine I’d need to combine the two scripts from the respective files, or at the very least, call the Widget in the footer.php – that’s my guess, but I could wrong. Please advise when you can. Thank you.

    It should be, here’s the original file of footer.php:https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/f0227eb702ccfa8345e8b26967edcb9c24301253/footer.php#L25

    For your second question, we will be answer you in the premium forum, there is a hook you can use.

    See image below. That is a screenshot directly from the GeneratePress footer.php file in the parent theme. I have not changed this code whatsoever.

    That’s not the file, I meant the footer.php in the root folder, the path is /wp-content/themes/generatepress/footer.php

    No worries, it’s confusing, the two files have the same name ??

    Just keep in mind that only the template files in the theme’s root folder can be overridden using a child theme.
