@unconditionaltruth that’s the price of taking a free theme. You can take a look at some paid ones then. There are thousands of themes that easily allow you to add more widgets areas. Focus on the ones with a better builder than Gutenberg (the default one from WordPress).
Hi @alchymyth, thank you so much for your help. I was with the exactly same problem and I was trying to solve it for days. You helped me a lot!
I created the folder footer-menu-widgets.php in my child theme and I added the following code to my functions.php:
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'my_register_sidebars' );
function my_register_sidebars() {
register_sidebar(
array(
'id' => 'sidebar-3',
'name' => __( 'Footer #3', 'twentytwenty' ),
'description' => __( 'Widgets in this area will be displayed in the third column in the footer.', 'twentytwenty' ),
)
);
}
Best regards,
Karina
