Display footer widget area only on Blog page

Hi Tim,

First, set the global setting to 0: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/footer-widgets/

Then add this function:

add_filter( 'generate_footer_widgets','tu_custom_blog_footer_widgets' );
function tu_custom_blog_footer_widgets( $widgets )
{
 	// If we are on the blog, set the number
 	if ( is_home() )
 	 	return '4';

 	// Or else, set the regular number
 	return $widgets;

 }

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Replace the 4 with however many widgets you want to display.

Hello Tom, thanks for the snippet,
But can not get to work!

I have set the global widgets to 0 in
Customizing ▸ Layout > Footer
Have placed this in code snippit

add_filter( 'generate_footer_widgets','tu_custom_blog_footer_widgets' );
function tu_custom_blog_footer_widgets( $widgets )
{
 	// If we are on the blog, set the number
 	if ( is_home() )
 	 	return '2';

 	// Or else, set the regular number
 	return $widgets;

 }

Nothing showing

Hi Tim,

Can you first make sure that you clicked "Save changes and activate" on the snippet?

Thanks and let us know :)

I just re - “Save changes and activate” still no luck

Ahh that's actually just a regular page named blog.

Can you give this code a shot instead:

add_filter( 'generate_footer_widgets','tu_custom_blog_footer_widgets' );
function tu_custom_blog_footer_widgets( $widgets )
{
 	// If we are on the blog, set the number
 	if ( is_page( 'blog' ) )
 	 	return '2';

 	// Or else, set the regular number
 	return $widgets;

 }

Hello Leo,

That worked!

Thanks

Glad we could help :)
