I went on the official site for this theme and found the following info on how to achieve what I am trying to do (break up the footer into more than one widget area).
The new widget shows up, but sadly it shows under the original widget instead of next to it.
I am still open to suggestions. HELP ANYONE!
a. open functions.php and locate line #365.
b. add this function just after the register_sidebar() function
register_sidebar( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Footer 1’, ‘magazino’ ),
‘id’ => ‘footer-1’,
‘before_widget’ => ”,
‘after_widget’ => “”,
‘before_title’ => ”,
‘after_title’ => ”,
) );
that will add new sidebar area, to add more just follow this step.
NOTE: id should be unique, so you need to update each.
c. open sidebar.php, to display your widgets you need to call it individually, at line #9, you can see a function called dynamic_sidebar() that simply call the sidebar with the ID of “sidebar-1″.
e.g.
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( ‘footer-1’ ) ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
this call the sidebar with the ID of footer-1
That’s it hope that helps.
