Add ‘widget’ to footer
-
Hello!
I am wanting to add a widget to my footer but not sure how I go about doing it!
I can see someone else using the same theme has done it https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-sidebars-in-footer-sketch-theme/
but not sure as to how!
My url is http://www.whatbettydid.com
Thanks!

I’ve worked this out now – thank you!
Nice! Feel free to share your technique in case others want to do the same. 🙂
I see that you’re using a child theme, but there are some syntax problems with your HTML that I’d suggest you fix before you go too much further. You page is missing the opening
<html>tag, for example – it starts with the<title>instead. You can look at your child theme’s header.php and compare it to the parent theme and get that fixed up – something might have gotten deleted that shouldn’t have been.Thank you so much – this fixed another issue I was having! The only issue I’m having now is that since I’ve put the widget on, the the distance between the widget and the actual projects is quite a large gap. Not on the home page but on the other pages – if I click on sketchbook for example, underneath the images there is quite a large gap! Is there any way I can fix/reduce this?
Hi there,
You can add this CSS to the site via Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS to reduce the spacing:
/* Remove extra space below portfolio content */ .single-jetpack-portfolio .hentry { margin-bottom: 0; padding-bottom: 0; } /* Remove extra space above footer */ .single-jetpack-portfolio .site-footer { margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0; }Thank you so much!!
Hi there
Been reading how to add widgets to the footer, but I have no idea how to go about setting up a child page? Can anyone post detailed instructions on setting this up and then adding widgets to the footer? And will it be all available widgets or will I have to code each type of widget I want?
Thanks
@gdaytaiwan – please start your own thread and explain your goal in more detail.
