Add additional row of footer widgets with different styling

[radiantaction]

Hi,
How would I add an additional widget area just like the footer section (enabled for 3-4 columns) that I can style differently?

I think that you already created the widget area. So try the following hook:

//* Add the sub footer section
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'flex_additional_footer_widget_areas', 5 );
function flex_additional_footer_widget_areas() {

 //* WRITE YOUR CODE HERE

}

Hi Chinmoy,
Thank you for your message. I actually deleted that sub footer section because I set it up using the Genesis Widgets Generator plugin and I wasn’t sure how to set it up so it acted exactly like the footer widgets.

If I recreate the widget area, what do I need to add to the css file to have it behave exactly like the footer widgets (including responsiveness). Basically I want to create two identical footer widget sections.

I hope I’m not asking too much!

Thank you for your time!
Warmly,
Kirsten

If you are creating the widget area by Genesis Widgets Generator plugin then you will choose “genesis_before_footer” from Hooks drop down list and enter 5 in priority input box. Genesis Widgets Generator plugin is not adding any extra CSS for front end design. Deign is varying from site to site. SO you will add custom CSS code in your style.css file for better fit.

You can create one widget area. Then drag&drop the text widget there and will use the columns class method (like one-fourth ).
