Thanks for the great tutorial. But I can’t seem to get the footer to be an active widget. I can see it on my web site, but it doesn’t show up in my “widgets.” I tried putting the code for my functions.php in between but that failed. Thanks for your help.

Just implemented this on my site…how do you make columns expand as content expands? Will give credits for this tip in awhile. Thank you!

Thanks for the code….everything worked great. The three column layout at the footer really steps up the design of a blog. I started with the Neutra template but have made several revisions to get a look that fits with my company website.

This tutorial is very good. Its very good for non license template to modify. However, licensed template cannot edit footer intact. I’m going to solve my template using your code.

Did you change the name of the widget area?

Managed to get the footer to work – but now it is dragging in the same content as my other three sidebars…

I’m trying to get this to work on my site but having problems.

IS the code above additional to the code already in my footer/css files, or should I just replace current footer code with the above?

Thanks

Just an update, with a bit of tweaking to my css, I have now got my 3 widget areas in the footer.
Thanks for such a useful tutorial.

Hey great tutorial.
I am trying to get this to work on my Concept theme.
Now, I have managed to get the widget areas to appear with selected test widgets, but no matter what I do, I just can’t get it to appear in the footer, it just places it in the right sidebar.

Next step is to try and get it to be styled like the right sidebar widget area, using the top, side and bottom images.

Will let you know, if I ever get it up and running.
