Esmi: Yes, I always create child themes. Learned that trick very early on. ??
alchymyth:
1. I followed this tutorial here: https://www.themelab.com/2009/04/25/add-a-widgetized-footer-to-your-wordpress-theme/ (Granted, I know that it’s not for this exact theme.)
2. I have placed the code every where the tutorial has said to place it.
3. Here’s what the live version of it looks like thus far: https://coffeetimewithjen.com/wp/
On the footer: I kinda figured it had an image to it, I just don’t know how to bring it down further to accommodate the widget footer, I’d like to install.
Thank you both so much for the help, it’s greatly appreciated.
