Minimum – Rendering 3 Footer Widgets on Homepage Only

[eluviis]

On Minimum - the 3 footer widgets that are not used on the demo site. Is it possible to only display them on the homepage and not the rest of the site?

Hello,

I'd rather add 3 brand new footer widgets on home page and comment in functions.php the
`add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );`

You could also hide/show them via .css.

@Marco - Not sure I fully understand. Why add 3 band new widgets if I'm not using the stock 3 widgets yet. Am I missing something.

I want to use those 3 widgets, but what I will display on them I only want on the homepage and nowhere else. Can I just modify the PHP that displays those widgets with a conditional rule or something? (I'm not a PHP expert).

Like... this is the code in functions.php that seems to add those 3 widgets:

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

Now, what would I need to do to it to tell it to only display on the homepage? Like, "if is home" or something like that?

Thanks, Danny

Hello,

copy this on functions.php just below the
`add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );`

function home_footer_widgets() {

	if ( !is_home() ) {

		remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );
	}
}
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'home_footer_widgets',1 );

@Marco - Just got back to take care of this. Been quite busy.

That worked GREAT! Thank you very much!
