      In addition to the three footer areas (Footer1, Footer2, Footer3) at the bottom of Epik, I also need a full width widgetized area above that.

      How to best proceed?

      Do I copy footer.php from the parent theme and add it to Epik? Or can you guide me to a script for the functions.php? Thanks

        Found this and it works great with a bit of logical edits:

          Okay so I added an extra full width widgetized area to my theme. I used the genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap. On my home page it works great. Sits right where it should. But on my interior pages the widget content is in the correct position but the actual container extends up under the main part of the page. My background image is tucked up under that container.

          I could probably figure out a way to move that image so that it is once again visible BUT I know that the way this new container is installed isn’t quite right.

          Here is what I added to the functions.php

          //Extra Widget Area Above Footer
          function genesischild_footerwidgetheader() {
          	genesis_register_sidebar( array(
          	'id' => 'footerwidgetheader',
          	'name' => __( 'After Content Widget Headline', 'epik' ),
          	'description' => __( 'This is for the After Content Widget Headline', 'epik' ),
          	) );
          
          }
          
          add_action ('widgets_init','genesischild_footerwidgetheader');
          
          //Position Widget for Lower Banners and Opt-in
          function genesischild_footerwidgetheader_position ()  {
          	echo '<div class="footerwidgetheader-container"><div class="wrap">';
          	genesis_widget_area ('footerwidgetheader');
          	echo '</div></div>';
          
          }
          
          add_action ('genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap','genesischild_footerwidgetheader_position');
          
          //End Extra Widget Area Above Footer

          Can you tell me what I’ve done wrong?

              @pcgs51 Wow! Your site looks great! You did a good job on the design. Make sure and let either me, Eric, or anyone else know if you’re still running into any issues.

                Thanks for your reply Eric, and thanks so very much for your compliment Wes! Thats a lot coming from you.

                Once done I would be Honored to submit it to be added your showcase. I love Epik! It has so much potential.

                And yes I figured out what I needed to do with the extra widgetized area. It wasn’t working and realized it was only a CSS thing.
