Can you help?

On or around line 190 you'll find the code that sets the number of footer widgets to 3. You can change that to 4.

There will also probably be some changes to your css when you change from 3 to 4 widgets.

Hope that helps.

Hi Terry, thank you for your help. But what I'm looking for is to add an additional footer widget area after the main footer. I need that after footer widget area to contain 4 columns. So I want to keep the 3 column footer widget area as well as add a new 4 column widget area. Can anyone help me with the code to create the widget area?

[Terry]

Hi,

Possibly this link from Brad will help with the widgets.

[TonySan1]

Thanks again Terry for your help. The code for that widget will not help me.
