How to add a new footer to Magazine Pro

[drschilling]

Hi,

My advertising regimen is calling for a 729x90 ad in the footer section.

I'm using the Magazine Pro theme and it has 3 sections for the footer Left, Middle & Right.

I'm wondering if I can add a NEW full length footer, just above the 3 part footer, and how to do it.

I'm totally new to studiopress & using Genesis Framework.

Thank you!

Yes you can. The steps include:

1. register a new sidebar in functions.php.
2. Output the new widget area in the before_footer hook

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'footer-ad-section',
	'name'        => __( 'Footer Ad Section', 'magazine' ),
	'description' => __( 'A sitewide section just above the footer section.', 'magazine' ),
));

add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'vmf_before_footer_widget_area' );
function vmf_before_footer_widget_area() {
    if ( is_active_sidebar( 'footer-ad-section' ) ) {
        genesis_widget_area( 'footer-ad-sectio', array(
    		'before' => '<div class="footer-ad-sectio widget-area"><div class="wrap">',
    		'after'  => '</div></div>',
    	) );
    }
}

Is it possible to take that "Genesis" footer and use it as a widget with different information in it?

Yes you can. You just need to hook it into the right place. If you want it on the front page, then you add the second part of the code to front-page.php. This tutorial is for a different Studio Press theme, but the process is the same: https://victorfont.com/add-widget-areas-to-news-pro-theme/

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to learn html, php, etc. This is going to take time.

Someone provided me with a temporary shortcut. I was trying to add "ad code" to the footer of my site in Magazine Pro. Someone suggested putting the "ad code" in the Genesis "Theme Settings in the Footer Scripts box. It's working just fine.

Thx.

David
