WHAT’S INSIDE
Good to know.
Ready to use.
One full-width area, or two responsive columns in 1:2, 1:1 or 2:1 proportions.
Landing-page visibility and an optional disclaimer inside or after the theme footer.
Shortcode copying, frontend testing and Customizer preview.
Local documentation, informal/formal German, deckerweb Library 1.1.0 and Updater 2.2.1.
Does this change the theme’s regular footer widget columns?
No. The plugin changes the copyright and credits area. The theme’s existing footer widget columns remain separate.
How do I get started?
Add widgets to Footer Area #1, Footer Area #2 or Footer Disclaimer under Appearance > Widgets. Open Genesis > Widgetized Footer to review setup and display settings.
What happens when an area is empty?
Empty areas stay hidden. When both main areas are empty, the standard Genesis footer remains. One populated main area uses the full width. Widgets with their own visibility rules can still produce an empty result.
How do landing pages work?
The five historical landing templates are recognized: page_landing.php, page-landing.php, landing.php, template-landing.php and template_page-landing.php. Main areas are hidden there by default; the disclaimer remains enabled. Both are configurable. Theme templates may independently remove footer hooks.
