i am using neve theme + elementor, and i am trying to add widgets to my footer, but nothing shows. I am going to Appearance>Widgets>then add text and images to all footer columns - 1,2,3,4 respectively and when i hit update, and refresh the site, nothing shows.
I have checked this answer here but i have not used any code in my case(only drag and drop with elementor), so the answer does not apply to me.
i have tried to disable elementor and all other plugins, but same thing, nothing shows.
if i go to appearance>Customize and select widgets this message appears:
Widgets are independent sections of content that can be placed into widgetized areas provided by your theme (commonly called sidebars). Your theme has 5 other widget areas, but this particular page doesn’t display them. You can navigate to other pages on your site while using the Customizer to view and edit the widgets displayed on those pages.
What am i doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated !
L.E SOLUTION : So the solution for this issue (for the beginners of wordpress like me here that could have the same dilemma) is like Daniyal said that before adding widgets to your Header and Footer in the Appearance > Widgets you actually have to design the header/footer in the Appearance > Customize section, by defining through drag and droping which area of the Footer for example Footer 1 is or Footer 2 or so on. Once the areas are defined the widgets added in widgets section will appear in the correct areas defined by the user.
Do you create Footer with elementor?
If you create footer with elementor, so footer widgets not showing and you should drag and drop widget with elementor to footer to show widget
If you don't create footer with elementor, this problem is the Theme

I am using WordPress 6.0.2 and the Twenty Twenty-Two theme to build my website. Now I've noticed that new pages I create are automatically added to the sidebar (header navigation).
Is there a way to control which pages are added to the sidebar and which are not? For example, I created an imprint that I only want to link in the footer.
Is there also a way to manage this directly from the database? I would like it too.
Since you are using a WordPress made theme some settings can be enabled by default like auto add new pages to menu you can turn this off by going to customize > appearance > menus > and there should be a tick box that you can adjust to stop this from happening.
If this does not work go to the admin area which can be accessed by clicking the name of your website in the top black bar and head down to the appearance tab hover on it and click menus. This will allow you to edit specific menus with more options. If it is not there it may be a theme feature which you would need code for but i doubt you will need to go to this of an extreme.
No need to access the database , just go to appearance > customize> menus . Here you will see several menus , choose the menu that is used or customize a new menu as you want .
The same thing goes for the footer , but to edit the footer you also need to go to appearance > widgets , then look at the right and you will see the footer columns you can also add/delete the footer from here .
I’ve a problem with my Theme Customize.
I’ve registered 4 widget area in my template, I can see them correctly in the Apparence > Widget panel, but I can’t see them in the Theme Customize, when I click on my Widget section I have the following message instead:
Your theme has 4 widget areas, but this particular page doesn’t display them. You can navigate to other pages on your site while using the Customizer to view and edit the widgets displayed on those pages.
For example, i want to use sidebar at other pages, but it only shows on the shop page.
Any help will be really appreciated!
Thank you all.
I'm making wordpress template. When I install this template(on stock wordpress), in footer block appears 6 standard widgets(Search, Recent Posts, Recent Comments etc.). I need to make these widgets do not appear by default(after install WP).
I have 3 widgets block, but even if I change the name of footer widgets block, standard widgets still appears by default in footer block . Any ideas? Thanks
In Appearance -> Widgets there should be a list of widgets available on the left and widget blocks on the right.
The "Search, Recent Posts, Recent Comments etc." should be in one of the blocks on the right. You can either delete each widget individually or drag the widget onto the "Available Widget" section.
EDIT:
When creating pages you can set the "Template" to "Full-width Page Template, No Sidebar" which won't allow any widgets to be displayed. Or in the functions.php file remove the twentytwelve_widgets_init() function.
I have following navigation structure, which i want to implement in wordpress:
(Home / About / news / Contact) are in top navigation, whereas all sub links are in sidebar.
How can i create this type of navigation in wordpress. i.e. How can i display first level navigation in header and second level navigation in sidebar.
Follow these steps:
First create a main Navigation to your site without child pages and
add it to the theme.
Then create a new menu with child menus only and save it.
Now goto widgets section and from there drag Custom Menu from left
side and add to your sidebar.
Then select your child menu and click save.
Thats all. :)
Check this WordPress Codex section for creating menu tutorial
Cheers!!!
I found these plugins helpful:
Simple Section Navigation
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-section-navigation/
It allowed me to create the side nav based on the hierarchy of the pages and their children.
I wanted a bit more control though because I didn't want some of the parents to have their own page ... just a heading for their children. So instead, I'm using this plugin (for the Genesis Framework).
Genesis Simple Sidebars
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/
This allows me to create as many sidebars as I want and add custom menus to those. I'm new to this, so maybe I'm taking a long route, but so far it seems to be doing what I want it to.
I have a web site on Wordpress using my custom made theme, I need to put a module with text and images on the frontpage of my theme which should be managed from the admin panel. I've read about widgets but I don't quite get how can I put them anywhere not just in sidebars, I don't have sidebars on my frontpage. any help would be appreciated.
Widget compatible sidebar in Wordpres it is just position on the page where widget could be placed. It is not necessary to be in the left or right column of the site. I could be anywhere(header, footer, middle part). Look on the default theme how sidebars created in it. Default theme has 7 or 8 positions(sidebars) for widgets accessable from admin. Also there are lots of tutorials on how to add sidebar into theme
