Hi,
I’m trying to either put a widget of posts in the prefooter area or get the widget to actually appear below the content wrapper.
On this page: http://codeid.net/wp247/index.php/why-247/
I want the “24/7 Perspectives” widget to be either in the prefooter area or below the container wrapper (background blue at the moment for testing).
I’ve been reading through help, forums, etc to figure out how to do this or force the white space in pages with short content to increase (fill) the height of the page. Simplest idea seems to be to plop the widget into the prefooter area. But I’m not having success or am calling it incorrectly with the wrong id/name. It is currently in the ‘Pages Bottom Widget Area’ and have had it in the ‘Sitewide Bottom Widget Area’, but it always remains within the content wrapper.Thoughts or can you point me to the elusive help section that spells it out for me?
Thank you!
One way to do this is to use the HTML insertion area like Advanced Options > HTML Insertion > Pre footer code box
Given you cannot use widgets in there, you should use a Show post shortcode in there to display the posts you need.
To create show post shortcodes, you need to install Weaver Show Post plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/show-posts/ ).
It lets you create filters that determine which posts to show and how to display them, and gives you a shortcode that you can insert in the HTML insertion area.
