Beautiful Pro Theme: Moving Footer Widgets To Another Hook?

[ScottFromPA]

Hey Guys,

I added a custom widget to the genesis_before_footer on all pages. When I add content to the Footer widgets, those widgets appear above my custom widget.

How can I move the footer widgets below it? Could it be that they are both using genesis_before_footer? Functions.php does show what the footer widgets are using for some reason. The only code for footer widgets is the following.

//* Add support for 3-column footer widgets
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );

I can't find any add action to a hook for the footer widgets. Am I loosing my mind?

Any idea how to modify the hook locations for the footer widgets? Ultimately I think it would be best if the footer widgets were using genesis_footer

Maybe I could change the order of the two widgets somehow? I dunno.

Any page but my front shows the issue.

Try another hook for your custom widget.

Or

Add a 3rd parameter below 10 so it hooks in before the footer widgets which use the same hook

add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );

Or

Re-hook the footer widgets with a priority higher than 10

I think there's more than meets the eye here.

I've tried adjusting priority with zero joy. I think the footer widgets are hard coded into the theme. The theme is Beautiful Pro

Add_theme_support is the only function for the footer widgets. That's it. Below's the code.

add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 9 );

My custom widget looks like this.

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id'        => 'contact-form-widget', //*unique ID
    'name'        => __( 'Contact Form Bottom', 'beautiful' ), 
    'description'    => __( 'A full width area just above the footer front page only.', 'beautiful' ),  
) );

//* Placing The Full Width Bottom Widget on FP only  genesis_before_footer
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'sef_add_page_content', 2 ); //*  Low priority numbers show up first 
function sef_add_page_content() {         if ( !is_front_page() )         genesis_widget_area ('contact-form-widget', array(
        'before' => '<div class="contact-form-bottom"><div class="wrap">',
        'after' => '</div></div>',
        ) );
}

What does it mean when there's no "add_action" for the footers?

Unfortunately reassignment to another hook is not an option. But thanks for the help.

When i test in the Genesis sample theme it displays before the footer widgets.

And also in Beautiful Pro, it displays before the footer widgets so you must have some additional code which is effecting this.

Brad,

It was me. I screwed up the syntax.

I needed to hear that it was my oversight.

All fixed. Thanks man.

No worries.

Brad, once again you've saved the day... ScottFromPA, thanks for asking in a few words what I was going to ask in an essay.
I'm using Minimum Pro and have the exact same request with some slight variations. In my case, I moved the SiteTagline Call to Action in Minimum Pro down the page. I wanted it outside of Site Inner and before the Footer Widgets. The reply form Brad got me where I needed to go. So in case others have this issue, here is what I did. If there is a cleaner way, please let me know.
1. First I moved the true footer (copyright etc. ) down to the genesis_after section.

remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 15 );
add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 11 );
add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_do_footer', 12 );
add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 13 );

2. I relocated my site tagline to the genesis_before_footer area.
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'minimum_site_tagline' );

3. Then using the info in this post I moved the footer widgets. I too was looking all over for a place in functions.php or front-page.php that addressed these widgets and all I found, like ScottFromPA, was the one block of code:

//* Add support for 3-column footer widgets
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );

In my failed attempts I thought the 3 a priority so set it to 30, only to find I had 30 widgets named Footer Widget.
Brad gave the clue by naming the item 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' which I would have never figured out and don't know if the _areas part follow a known syntax and I just don't get it.

Final working part for me here was this:

//* Add support for 3-column footer widgets
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas');
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );

From that point on, it totally worked. Now I only hope putting the copyright footer following genesis_after doesn't have a downside.

Thanks again guys.
