Multiple "add actions" to support multiple widget areas

[ClintN]

Can you use the function add_genesis_widget_area() more than once?
I am trying to do so but get a php error in the browser:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare add_genesis_widget_area() (previously declared

Theme support for my first widget area goes well with

//* Add support for before header widget
add_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'add_genesis_widget_area' );
function add_genesis_widget_area() {
                genesis_widget_area( 'genesis_before_header', array(
		'before' => '<div class="genesis_before_header widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
    ) );

}

But then adding the below function causes the fatal error

//* Add support for before footer
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'add_genesis_widget_area' );
function add_genesis_widget_area() {
                genesis_widget_area( 'genesis_before_footer', array(
		'before' => '<div class="genesis_before_footer widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
    ) );
}

Any ideas on adjusting the second add action?

Hi,

technically, it´s not the add__action causing the problem but the function name.
You cannot have two functions by the same name.

Simple rename function and the call to the function in the add_action. E.g. add_genesis_widget_area_footer

Sweet,

I was 50% with remaining the function.

Thanks for getting me over the line
