Hi Guys,

referring to the old https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/add-footer-widget/

I found a way to add more footer widgets.

ADD IN LINE 137 FUNCTIONS/GLOBAL/ADMIN/CUSTOMIZER/REGISTER.PHP

  $list_widget_areas = array(
    0 => __( 'None (Disabled)', '__x__' ),
    1 => __( 'One', '__x__' ),
    2 => __( 'Two', '__x__' ),
    3 => __( 'Three', '__x__' ),
    4 => __( 'Four', '__x__' )
  );(

YOU CAN ADD MORE IF YOU WANT FOR EXAMPLE ADD

  $list_widget_areas = array(
    0 => __( 'None (Disabled)', '__x__' ),
    1 => __( 'One', '__x__' ),
    2 => __( 'Two', '__x__' ),
    3 => __( 'Three', '__x__' ),
    4 => __( 'Four', '__x__' ),
    5 => __( 'Fifth', '__x__' ),
    6 => __( 'Sixth', '__x__' ),
    7 => __( 'Seventh', '__x__' )
  );(

THE NEXT FILE YOU NEED IS FUNCTIONS/GLOBAL/ADMIN/WIDGETS.PHP / LINE 82

    //
    // Footer.
    //

    $i = 0;
    while ( $i < 4 ) : $i++;
      register_sidebar( array( // 3
        'name'          => __( 'Footer ', '__x__' ) . $i,
        'id'            => 'footer-' . $i,
        'description'   => __( 'Widgetized footer area.', '__x__' ),
        'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget'  => '</div>',
        'before_title'  => '<h4 class="h-widget">',
        'after_title'   => '</h4>',
      ) );
    endwhile;

  }

CHANGE

while ( $i < 4 ) : $i++;

TO

while ( $i < x_footer_widget_areas_count() ) : $i++;

The problem on this solution is, you can’t set it up in your child theme.
Does somebody know how can I fix it that it work in a child theme?

Hi Pascal,

X Theme only supports 4 columns in the Footer Widget area and adding another some more would fall out of the scope of our support as this is not a native feature.

But, I could provide you some suggestions. You can create the widget in Appearance > Sidebars so you won’t need to add it in a child theme.

Once you’ve done that, you can make use of the child theme. The file that displays the footer widgets is found in /wp-content/themes/x/framework/views/global/ named _footer-widget-areas.php.

You can copy the file and edit it’s contents in the child theme.

Hope this will get you started.
