Your theme should allow dropping to sidebar - which then you'd drag the widget to the sidebar. Are you building a new theme and asking how to add a sidebar which allows widgets to be dropped onto it?

I'm using blogxer theme, I created a custom sidebar for my specific pages, and it's working fine.
But now I need to edit a sidebar but the sidebar is not showing on appearance > widgets ......
The active widget is showing but the sidebar disappears so can modify this.
Any solution?

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
This embarrassing text shows on my page in place of a sidebar. I have searched all around the dashboard to find where I can edit this text/add a real sidebar etc. I added a "Pages" widget to the Page Sidebar widget in the Widgets menu, but this had no effect on the presentation of the sidebar.
Where can I add a sidebar to my page or at least hide this text?
For some reason, changing the permalink of the page from about to about-me fixed the problem, and the correct sidebar shows now.
I'm working on my client's website and i have to add custom footer to the theme.

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 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
