    Hello.

    I'd be grateful if anyone could advise please.

    I was wondering if there's a way to register a second 3 column footer widgets area immediately above or below an existing 3 column footer widgets area?

    I appreciate that I can change the footer widget from 3 columns to 6 columns, but I'd like to use different background colours for the wrapping divs (e.g. blue for .footer-widgets and grey for .footer-widgets-2), but can't say a way to achieve this with CSS alone.

    Thanks for your time.

    Ash

    Hi Ash,

    you can follow this tutorial to register additional widget areas:

    and hook the new widgets into e.g. genesis-before-footer or genesis-footer.

    Hello Christoph

    Thanks for your time and advice. I've now been able to add a second set of footer widgets.

    Kind Regards
