It is also possible to create an extra row of footer widgets under the existing one.
And how can I do that? With a Hook?Regards,
PaulJuly 26, 2018 at 2:46 pm #633554DavidStaffCustomer SupportHi Paul, you would need to register a new sidebar and then hook that into the theme. If you’re up for the challenge then this document explains how:
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/sidebars/
alternatively one of the GP community had this need and created this plugin.

July 26, 2018 at 11:36 pm #633758PaulHi David,
But I would like an extra footer widget extra among the existing footer widgets
Regards,
PaulJuly 27, 2018 at 1:52 am #633804DavidStaffCustomer SupportSo instead of the maximum 5 footer widgets you want 6? Sorry a little unclear.
July 27, 2018 at 1:59 am #633807Paulindeed. But then on 2 rows. 2 x 3 or 2 x 5. If only two rows
July 27, 2018 at 2:02 am #633808Paultherefore an additional widget area under the footer widget area. But how?
July 27, 2018 at 2:38 am #633837DavidStaffCustomer SupportJust to cover all bases, you do know you can stack more than one widget in each of the widget areas?
July 27, 2018 at 2:49 am #633843PaulYes I understand that. But I have 2 different topics that I want to distinguish by two rows of footer widgets.
July 27, 2018 at 2:51 am #633844Paulstack? One above the other?
July 27, 2018 at 3:01 am #633851PaulI read something about footer columns under the footer widget area? Is that a solution for placing extra widgets?
July 27, 2018 at 3:07 am #633852DavidStaffCustomer SupportSorry if we’re going round in circles 🙂
If the two topic rows are separate then what is wrong with the plugin? This gives you a completely separate row of footer widgets?
Aside of rewriting the GP Footer widget area, the other alternative would be some CSS, where we make each footer widget 100% width of the content and make each one a row. Then you could add 3 widgets into the Footer Widget 1 for the first row, and then repeat this for Footer widget 2. Does that work?
July 27, 2018 at 3:51 am #633880PaulOK. I think we do not understand each other. In customizer I see widget settings: Your theme has 6 different widget areas, but this page does not display it.
July 27, 2018 at 4:46 am #633935DavidStaffCustomer SupportThe number of Footer widgets used across the site are set in the Customiser > Layout > Footer – it can be increased to a maximum of 5.
July 27, 2018 at 9:51 am #634173PaulCan I ask a question? I want to place 3 widgets in the Footer bar via customizer. Which can! But I do not want to stack them, but next to each other? Where can I set that?
If you want, look at http://www.wereldwinkelarnhem.nl at the footerbar widgets
July 27, 2018 at 10:39 am #634202DavidStaffCustomer SupportThe footer bar isn’t great for adding that type of content and getting them aligned with the other widgets will be tricky.
Instead we could do this:
We use only 2 Footer Widgets. They will become our Rows. Load each of the Footer Widgets with 3 widgets and then add this CSS to make them into rows.
.inside-footer-widgets div[class*="footer-widget-"] { width: 100%; display: -webkit-box; display: -ms-flexbox; display: flex; -ms-flex-wrap: wrap; flex-wrap: wrap; } .footer-widgets .widget { -webkit-box-flex: 1; -ms-flex: 1 0 33%; flex: 1 0 33%; min-width: 250px; }
