Hi there,
In 1.2.9.6, you’ll be able to set the footer widgets using a function similar to the sidebar layout currently.
For now, try this..
1. Set it up so you’re only showing 1 footer widget in “Appearance > Customize > Layout”. This will be the global setting throughout your site, and will make sure the related posts widget is the only widget showing up on single posts.
2. Is your homepage static? If so, edit the page, and set the Footer Widgets metabox to display 2 widget areas on this page only – this way, only this page will display both widget areas.
Let me know if that works for you or not 🙂
