I'm working on my client's website and i have to add custom footer to the theme.
http://businessumpire.com/
The theme doesn't allow to add widget in the footer, is there any way to to add widget in 4 blocks so i can add menu, latest post etc in the footer via widgets.
You should do that overriding the theme or even better making a child theme. Then you should register with register_sidebar() wordpress function a sidebar for your footer and call it from your footer template via dynamic sidebar(). This way you could add all the widgets available to your footer. To add the menu in the footer you can call wp_nav_menu() in the footer`. If you dono't know how to do this you can try to download a theme which has this functionalities and try to adapt your code from there.

I am trying to hide the extra template sections in the add section part of the Elementor editor. I have tried to use CSS in the Elementor plugin and in the theme used and it didn't work, is there a better way to do this that would work?

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 want to start designing with a blank page in Elementor but can't manage to remove the header and footer defined by the Wordpress theme.
As you can see in the screenshot I have already chosen the option "Elementor canvas." Nevertheless, the page still displays sidebar, header and footer from another theme.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Make a new empty header & footer template and set it to display entire site.
User the theme "Hello Elementor" for a blank page.
The sidebar, header and footer come from you template.
Elementor does not replace them unless you use Elementors theme builder feature to overwrite them.
You can delete them in your theme or use a theme that is intended to have no header and footer.
If you delete it in your theme, make sure to not delete eg. wp_header() and wp_footer() which are important to enqueue styles and other things and not just for display.
go to your theme header.php and footer.php
locate at wp-content/themes/yourtheme/header.php
and wp-content/themes/yourtheme/footer.php
and remove any code you don't need HTML
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

I'm making a Wordpress 2.9.2 theme, and I'd like each page to have its own sidebar than can be edited as easily as the page's content. It would be cumbersome to make a different template file for each sidebar. It would also be weird to add a "custom field" containing all the sidebar text, since I wouldn't be able to use the Visual/HTML editor. What I'd like is to have a tag similar to the tag, but instead of delimiting the content to be shown on the front page, it would split the post's content and sidebar. Is this possible? Or is there a better solution?
Make the sidebars widgetized and than use the widget logic plugin, so you can conditionally include widgets on any and all pages.
Doing this lets you utilize the out of the box widgets, which are awesome, and even integrated third party widgets that are just as great.
Also consider this: You widgetize other areas of your site, like your header, which can now use widgets and widget logic. This makes for a more flexible theme.
