    I would like to place a widget below my 3 footer widgets but above the bottom footer. I know how to place it above the 3 footer widgets, but I can't figure out how to place it below the 3 footer widgets. Any ideas??? This is what I have:

    //Extra Widget Area
    function genesischild_footerwidgetlogo() {
    	genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    	'id' => 'footerwidgetlogo',
    	'name' => __( 'Footer Widget Logos', 'genesis' ),
    	'description' => __( 'This is for the Footer Widget Logos', 'genesis' ),
    	) );
    
    }
    
    add_action ('widgets_init','genesischild_footerwidgetlogo');
    
    //Position Widget Logos
    function genesischild_footerwidgetlogo_position ()  {
    	echo '<div class="footerwidgetlogo-container"><div class="wrap">';
    	genesis_widget_area ('footerwidgetlogo');
    	echo '</div></div>';
    
    }
    
    add_action ('genesis_before_footer','genesischild_footerwidgetlogo_position');

    Hi there,

    You probably need to specify a priority on your action hook call. If you do not include one it defaults to 10 and if another widget is loaded on the genesis_before_footer hook at a higher priority, yours will show first since it goes in numeric order. To help troubleshoot this I recommend using a free plugin called Query Monitor. It will show a list of hooks and what is called on each one. For more help on what the priority number is all about, check out these two tutorials below:

    Yep--that was it. I had to set the priority to 11. Thanks!
