 * Hello All,
 * I am new to WordPress so please be gentle.
 * I am having trouble creating a widgitized footer within the ‘Enterprise’ theme
   by ‘templatesquare’.
    I have searched for quite a while tring to find something
   that would help me eg. [http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/how-to-add-widgets-to-wordpress-themes-footer-1033](http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/how-to-add-widgets-to-wordpress-themes-footer-1033)&
   [http://www.sueblimely.com/add-widget-ready-sidebars-to-wordpress-footers/](http://www.sueblimely.com/add-widget-ready-sidebars-to-wordpress-footers/)
 * They both say that within the functions.php file I should find the following 
   line
    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
 * This line however I am unable to find in any of the .php files for this theme.
 * Am I not doing something I should be?
 * Thank you in advanced
    Tom Pinnington

 * did you try adding
    `if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )` to the `functions.
   php`?
 * I’ve used this guide in past successfully

 * have you tried the support by the theme seller?
 * in extreme, but unlikely, your theme does not have a functions.php; or no widgetized
   sidebar, and therefore no ‘register_sidebar()’ code in the functions.php.
