Need help displaying different footer widgets in wordpress - wordpress

For all those wordpress users out there!
I'm putting together a wordpress theme and I have 4 widget areas in the footer. What I want to do is if there is no 4th widget set in wordpress that the 3rd widget area expand the size of the 4th too.
OR
Is there a way to have my 4 widgets on the home page and then in all other pages 4 completely different widgets?
Any help is appreciated!

Don't put them in the footer. Create 2 page templates, one with 4 sidebar areas and one with 3. Then on the homepage use that template and the other pages use the other template.

Wordpress - widgets are not showing

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

Can’t see widget areas in my Theme Customize (Wordpress)

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.

how to use a design without header and sidebar as a wordpress homepage?

I would like to use a page I have already made as the homepage of the wordpress site. It's a design made with bootstrap, and it consists of a full width and full height page that is divided in 4 equal rectangles, obviously flexible. clicking on each one of this rectangles should link to 4 different pages/posts/archives.
The question is: how can I change the main-index file in order to have just that design as my homepage, and not any sidebar or header or footer?
Thank you, I tried in many ways, but no success!
Go to Options -> Reading then select A static page in the homepage settings and choose the page you want to use as homepage.
You may need to define a custom template for this page if you dont want header / sidebar.

Wordpress text module (widget)

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
