Hello, I am looking to add new widget area's but am unsure of the method. Can you advise? Is this something I need to do in the parent theme's editor or can be accomplished in the child's theme editor. Thanks.
This is going to be a silly question as a result of me being somewhat new to WordPress but are you referring to my local footer.php file on my computers hard-drive or are these files stored somewhere through the Wordpress application?

I was looking to create 4 or 5 separate widget area's that would go into a custom footer with 4 or 5 columns.
In this case you need to create sidebar area in the functions.php of the child theme, copy file:
/wp-content/themes/thegem/footer.php
To the main folder of the child theme call the widget area there in the place you need.
Custom footer - 35

I think I got it. I have to go through my cPanel File Manager in Host Gator??
