						<![CDATA[
						<p>I have created a child theme and want to add an editable area for site sponsor logos above the footer. I presume the way to do with would be to use a widget? How can I create a new widget or utilize one of the existing footer widgets maybe so it displays where I want it to?</p>
<p>thanks in advance for your help</p>

						<p>Thanks for your reply but I want to add a new widget area but not in the footer. I want it to below on every page just below the content spanning the width of the page but not in the footer? Hope that makes sense?</p>

						<p>Hey Julie,</p>
<p>This sounds like a custom development task, which might be out of our scope. Anyhow please provide us the URL of your website so we can take a look if there is any work around for this.</p>

						<p>Hi Julie,</p>
<p>Please follow the steps below to add a widget.</p>
<p>1. Add the code below in functions.php of child theme</p>
<pre><code>
register_sidebar( array(
    &#039;id&#039;          =&gt; &#039;page-bottom&#039;,
    &#039;name&#039;        =&gt; __( &#039;Page - Bottom&#039;,&#039;x&#039;),
    &#039;description&#039; =&gt; &#039;This is the bottom section of the page.&#039;,
    &#039;before_widget&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;div id=&quot;page-bottom&quot;&gt;&#039;,
    &#039;after_widget&#039;  =&gt; &#039;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;,
    &#039;before_title&#039;  =&gt; &#039;&lt;h2 class=&quot;widgettitle&quot;&gt;&#039;,
    &#039;after_title&#039;   =&gt; &#039;&lt;/h2&gt;&#039;
) );
</code></pre>
<p>2. Create the file content-page.php in wp-content/themes/x-child-integrity/framework/views/integrity and add the code below.</p>
<pre><code>
&lt;?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/INTEGRITY/CONTENT-PAGE.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Standard page output for Integrity.
// =============================================================================

$disable_page_title = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), &#039;_x_entry_disable_page_title&#039;, true );

?&gt;

&lt;article id=&quot;post-&lt;?php the_ID(); ?&gt;&quot; &lt;?php post_class(); ?&gt;&gt;
  &lt;div class=&quot;entry-featured&quot;&gt;
    &lt;?php x_featured_image(); ?&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class=&quot;entry-wrap&quot;&gt;
    &lt;?php if ( is_singular() ) : ?&gt;
      &lt;?php if ( $disable_page_title != &#039;on&#039; ) : ?&gt;
      &lt;header class=&quot;entry-header&quot;&gt;
        &lt;h1 class=&quot;entry-title&quot;&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
      &lt;/header&gt;
      &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;
    &lt;?php else : ?&gt;
    &lt;header class=&quot;entry-header&quot;&gt;
      &lt;h2 class=&quot;entry-title&quot;&gt;
        &lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&quot; title=&quot;&lt;?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( __( &#039;Permalink to: &quot;%s&quot;&#039;, &#039;__x__&#039; ), the_title_attribute( &#039;echo=0&#039; ) ) ); ?&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;?php x_the_alternate_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;/h2&gt;
    &lt;/header&gt;
    &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;
    &lt;?php x_get_view( &#039;global&#039;, &#039;_content&#039; ); ?&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;?php x_google_authorship_meta(); ?&gt;
&lt;/article&gt;
&lt;?php dynamic_sidebar(&#039;page-bottom&#039;);?&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>3. Go to Appearance &gt; widgets and add contents to your newly added widget called Page Bottom.</p>
<p>You are welcome to change the name of the widget to anything you like.</p>
<p>4. You can add custom styles by using the id <strong>page-bottom</strong> to target the widget.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

						<p>Do you still need to do this to add a widget to the sidebar? Seems an awfully awkward way to populate a sidebar that is included in the theme (and one I am hoping has been fixed). I am using Renew. Thanks.</p>
