    Hi all,

    I have tried the link below to add a footer widget:

    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/how-to-add-widgets-to-wordpress-themes-footer-1033

    and whenever I put the following code into the footer.php i get a parsing error caused by an unexpected ‘{‘.

    <div id="footer-sidebar" class="secondary">
<div id="footer-sidebar-1">
<?php
if(is_active_sidebar('footer-sidebar-1')) {
dynamic_sidebar('footer-sidebar-1');
}
?>
</div>
</div>

    I have registered the area in my functions.php file but it is not showing the footer.

    OK, I did a bit of fiddling with the code and I removed the if statement that surrounded ‘dynamic_sidebar(‘footer-sidebar-1′);’ and now it works :p
