Storefront Footer Bar

Description

A simple plugin that adds a full width widget region above the default, columnised Storefront footer widget area. Customise the display by adding a background image and tweaking colors via the Customizer.

This plugin requires the Storefront theme to be installed.

Installation

Upload storefront-footer-bar to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Configure the display in the Customizer (look for the ‘Footer Bar’ section).
Done!

Screenshots

Faq

I installed the plugin but cannot see the footer bar

This plugin will only work with the Storefront theme.

Works Fine - Oct 2020

Several prior complaints about it "not showing up" (?) But works fine for me (Oct 2020). Install to plugins. Activate. Control it through Appearance > "Customiser", and then through Widgets.

Doesn't work

I tried removing all of my CSS and other plugins just to make sure, but as of WordPress 5.3 this plugin doesn't work. Kind of disappointing since I found this plugin on woocommerce.com

Doesn't work at all WP 5.0.3

I was hoping to use this with Storefront theme. It appears in the customizer, but nothing shows up on home page. Many comments in the support that are a year old, with no updates.

Works even now...

Works on WP version 4.9.2 and WC version 3.2.6 even thought it's not been tested. I would have thought you would add the widgets on the same area as the colours and background.

I have Storefront but it doesn't show up

I have the storefront theme installed, but when I activate this and check it out on the customizer/preview area, it doesn't show up on any page or post. What am I doing wrong here? EDIT: After an update, I now see the "Footer Bar" widget area to place content in. Works as expected now.

Simply works!
