Hi
I would like to create another footer widget (separate to the footer I already have) similar to the attached screenshot.
However when I go into Appearance > Widgets there is only 1 footer area I can add widgets to. How can I create another footer area or bottom content area to add widgets to?
I’ve also attached a screenshot of what I mean vs what I currently have. Notice in the ‘what I currently have.jpg’ there is a section at the top that allows you to create a widget area, I don’t have this. How can I get this function?
Hi @lorena.redzepovski,
I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
To create another footer widget area, you have to develop custom code.
Alternatively, you can create a custom footer using a page builder and use it as your website footer area as shown in the attached screenshot.
Best regards,

Do you know any links that would show me how to create this custom code?

Yes, it will replace the current pre-built footer with custom footer.

There is no theme specific information but you can refer to the below generic information.
