Hey Omar,
The only way you can get that is by modding some of your themes files. Uou will need to modify the following theme files to get multiple footers:
functions.php and footer.php
If you’ve got the Twenty Ten theme on your site still then open up functions.php and go to line number 343 in the code and you should see:
‘Register widgetized areas, including two sidebars and four widget-ready columns in the footer.’ the function twentyten_widgets_init() registers the widgets to show up in your dashboard. You’ll need to put some of this code into your themes functions.php file.
Maybe try this:
function OM2_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Footer Widget Area', 'twentyten' ),
'id' => 'footer-widget-area',
'description' => __( 'The footer widget area', 'twentyten' ),
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</li>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'OM2_widgets_init' );
Next up you need to register the sidebar which is done in footer.php.
Add in something like:
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'footer-widget-area' ) ) : ?>
<div id="footer-widget" class="widget-area">
<ul class="xoxo">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'footer-widget-area' ); ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
I haven’t tested that code so let me know if it doesn’t work and I’ll fire up my code editor and check it works.
