Widget showing up twice

Hi, my plugin is used when you want to use a widget in a shortcode on a page or post. It uses a dummy widget area to do that. That widget area should not be used in a theme template.

I’m guessing – it looks like your theme is including the amr widget area (or you have done something to do that) as the 4th column. I see the other ‘columns’ there are lablelled ‘-3’ – maybe only intended to be 3 columns?

Then the widget is included again further below. Take it out of one of the areas or deactivate this plugin,or fix the theme

hmmm not really sure that answers my question.

i inhereted this website and the footer is actually a page and whatever the coder did creates that page as the footer of the website.

so the page is built using visual composer so all i want to do is put the shortcode in the 4th column.

which i did. which worked.

but then the plugin repeated the widget in the next row, … so there’s no area to take it out of.

i can’t deactivate the plugin, bc i need your plugin bc i want the instagram in the footer.

i’m here to fix the theme… ya see? i need help pls.

I suggest you take this up with theme support then, not here.

As you said “i’m here to fix the theme…”
and as I said
