Authority Pro: changing footer smart widget area

[giovannironci]

Hi all

I'm trying Authority Pro to replace my actual blog.

The Front Page widget areas and the Footer widget area are all designed to change layout based on the number of widgets added to these areas. In particular:
- Front Page 1-4 and Footer has one type of Flexible Layout Configurations
- Front Page 5 has the other type of Flexible Layout Configurations

What I'd like to have is the flexible layout configuration of Front Page 5 on my Footer Widget Area.

Is there a simple way to do it? I'm not a programmer 😐
Thank you very much, It's my first post here, please be patient 😛 and sorry for my English.

Thanks

Unfortunately no, although possible, there isn't a simple way to do it.

You'd need to take the code from front-page.php which controls the output of the front page widget areas and use that to replace the current code that outputs the flexible footer, located in functions.php. As the markup is different. Once the markup in the footer is the same as that front page widget area, you'd then need to change the stylesheet to make it have the same layout, specifically deleting the current styling for the current footer, then finding the specific styles that target the correct widgets in the home page (ie that start with ".front-page-5 .flexible-widgets") and duplicate but replace all the ".front-page-5" with "footer-widgets"

If you don't understand most of that, you need to hire a developer. It's quite a big change.

but if you're going to attempt it. The function that currently controls the html output for the flexible footer is named 'authority_footer_widgets' and the function you're looking for in front-page.php which controls the front page widgets is called 'authority_do_widget'.

Hello Giovanni

I assume you mean the footer widget area not the footer?

Another option if you prefer not to use PHP is to use CSS Grid to produce something like this
