Widgets in the Copyright Footer Section

There are 4 widget on the footer in this theme. They are just above copyright area.
You need to create your own widget and insert in copyright placeholder if you want one there.

Thanks for the reply back. Yeah, I am using the widgets in the footer above the copyright area. I was able to put the following codes in to create the widgets but I can’t get the widgets to show up in the widgets area so that I can put the information I wanted into the widgets.

Functions.php

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
{ register_sidebar();
register_sidebars(3, array('name'=>'Footer %d')); }

Footer.php

<div id="footerwidgets">
<div id="footer-left">
<ul>
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('footer 1') ) : ?>
<li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="footer-middle">
<ul>
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('footer 2') ) : ?>
<li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="footer-right">
<ul>
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('footer 3') ) : ?>
<li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<br>
<br clear="all" />

Custom CSS:

#footerwidgets { display: block; width:900px; margin: 0 auto; text-align:center; }
#footer-left { width: 210px; float: left; margin: 15px 10px 10px 30px; padding: 10px; background-color: #f3f3e7; }
#footer-middle { width: 210px; float: left; margin: 15px 10px 10px 15px; padding: 10px; background-color: #f3f3e7; }
#footer-right { width: 210px; float: left; margin: 15px 10px 10px 15px; padding: 10px; background-color: #f3f3e7; }

I’m still trying to figure out how to add the widgets into the copyright footer and then have the widgets show up in my widgets section. So far I am able to create the widgets and have them show up in the copyright section but when I go to the widgets section, the widgets don’t show up in there.

Every time I try and add a widget in the copyright section I end up breaking my site and having to reset it.

It seems like the site breaks when I put anything in the functions.php file. What am I doing wrong that it’s not showing up in the widgets section for me to go and enter the information I need in there? Also, why does the site keep breaking when I update the functions.php file?

So I was able to create the widgets and have them show up in my copyright footer but both widgets are both centered. How can I go about making 1 widget in the center and 1 widget in the right side?

This is the code I am using:

CSS:

.widgetcopyrightcenter {
    float: center;
    margin-top: 5px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-right: 1px;
    display: block;
    font-size: 10.5px;
}

.widgetcopyrightright {
    float: right;
    margin-top: 5px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    display: block;
    font-size: 10.5px;
}

Footer.php:

<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'Copyright Footer Center' ) ) : ?>

<?php endif; // end extra-widget area ?>

<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'Copyright Footer Right' ) ) : ?>

<?php endif; // end extra-widget area ?>

Functions.php:

// Add a widget.
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
	register_sidebar(array(
	'name' => 'Copyright Footer Center',
	'id' => 'extra-widget2',
	'description' => 'Copyright Footer Center',
	'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
	'after_widget' => '</div>',
	'before_title' => '<p>',
	'after_title' => '</p>'
	));
}

// Place the widget in copyright footer
add_filter ('__row', 'add_my_widget2');
function add_my_widget2() {
if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')) {
dynamic_sidebar('Copyright Footer Center');
}
}

// Add a widget.
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
	register_sidebar(array(
	'name' => 'Copyright Footer Right',
	'id' => 'extra-widget3',
	'description' => 'Copyright Footer Right',
	'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
	'after_widget' => '</div>',
	'before_title' => '<p>',
	'after_title' => '</p>'
	));
}

// Place the widget in copyright footer
add_filter ('add_my_widget3');
function add_my_widget3() {
if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')) {
dynamic_sidebar('Copyright Footer Right');
}
}

Since this theme uses bootstrap 2. It would be easy for you if you follow the convention of bootstrap to manage it.

You can find in the documentation below how the grid is managed and how you can set offset in the grid : https://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/scaffolding.html

Ok, I’ll take a look at that and see what I can do. Thanks so much. =)
