    Create a sidebar.
    PHP sidebar into your header, or wherever you want them.
    <?php get_sidebar( $name ); ?>
    add your widget within

    <?php the_widget(‘WP_Widget_Meta’); ?>

    Hi Minoka,

    The instructions that noahjonah provided are not complete.

    If you want to move the footer widget, then you would be better to just grab the code fro that that’s in your footer.php template and move it to your header. php.
    That would be an easier way to do it. Technically speaking they won’t be “footer” widgets anymore, but no one will know about that.
