Widgets has changed. GP Update? How do I get a custom footer as it is in the theme? ? It doesn't look good now.https://tarhurinpapu-fi.hel8.wp-cloud.dev
And how do I get what I want in the right sidebar? I want something completely different from what it has now in Uutiset page.
Hi there,
I'm not exactly sure I understand what you mean.
Are you pertaining to the missing heading for the footer widget area 3?
If so, that change is coming from the H2 heading color change on Appearance > Customize > Colors > Content.
You have this color value #41665f assigned to h2 which coincidentally, is the same color as the footer's background. The heading is there but it's not visible because it blended with the background.
Try adding this CSS:
.footer-widgets h2 {
color: #fff8e9;
}Thank you, I mean I can't make widgets, because they've changed (GP update?). I don't get similar widgets as 1 and 2 and I don't know how to get other content in the side bar.
Hi there,
WordPress 5.8 introduced Block Widgets, which is probably the issue you're seeing.
If you want, you can disable them so your site reverts to the classic widgets. See this doc:

Thank you, David! You understood what I meant.
