 * I’ve been using a theme for my site for a while now and I started trying to update
   it to support widgets in the footer. I followed guides but the theme is missing
   a functions.php file as it’s quite old, I’ve tried to contact the author but 
   he can no longer be reached. this is the theme.

 * I’m trying to add 3 footer widgets to it, to replace the hardcoded plugins already
   there. Could anyone offer help with this or point me in the right direction? 
   As far as I got was to add the html to the footer, but couldn’t figure out where
   to add the php code to make the plugins appear once I added them in the admin.
 * Thanks for any help.
