Hi

Trying to create very similar footer to that shown on demo sites.

Completely lost at step 1 of documentation “Create Custom Widget Areas”

First of all, the theme already has these widget areas, Pre Footer, Footer 1, Footer 2 etc. so why do I need to create them again?

Secondly, I have absolutely no idea how to create custom widget areas, and, if I do, do I also need to create a child theme as well?

I am probably missing something obvious, but, why aren’t the footer areas automatically populated with the demo footers when choosing which footer in the theme options.

Again apologies if I am missing something simple.

Hello,

hierarchy for ‘Footer 1’ is:
‘Footer 1’ widget area > ‘Footer Top’ static block > widget areas > widgets

To create custom widget area navigate to Appearance > Widgets > Custom sidebar > enter sidebar name and click ‘Add sidebar’

Regards,
Stan Russell.
