ExecutivePro – Adding a fourth footer widget

[Jeannie]

Hi everyone,
I've added the "Add support for 4-column footer widgets" in the functions.php but I can't figure out how to adapt the CSS from the 3-col to 4-col. Would be grateful if someone could provide that to me.
Thanks so much,
Jeannie

Hi Jeannie,

In your style.css file, look around line number 1693 where you see the first mention of .footer-widgets-1. You'll want to add a new element, .footer-widgets-4 (assuming that's how you defined it) to that first group and change the width to 25%. From there you'll need to make changes as you work to adjust the padding if needed.

Hi Ginger,

Thanks for the css guidance! I've added .footer-widgets-4 and changed the width to 25%. Now I see the space for a fourth column but on the Widgets page it still only shows Footer 1, Footer 2, and Footer 3. Is there another step I need to take to get Footer 4 to show up?

You should have a 4th widget in your Appearance -> Widget area...you'll need to populate that with something so it shows up.

I wish it was so, but there's no Footer 4. It could be what I did or didn't do in the functions.php file.

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

//* Add support for 4-column footer widgets
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 4 );

Should I delete the 3-column info?

Hi Ginger,
I decided to add the code

//* Add support for 4-column footer widgets
add_theme_support( ‘genesis-footer-widgets’, 4 );

to the Theme Functions file. It worked like a charm.

Thanks for getting me on the right track!

Best
Jeannie
