I'm creating my first wordpress template and I want to add custom widget areas to my footer or my home.php file(tried both without any effects). I've already registered widget area in functions.php file and the only thing I get when I go to Customize > Widgets is:
The code i have is copy pasted from a tutorial website
Could anyone tell me what am I doing wrong ? How can I add any widget area ? Thank you for any tips in advance.
I tried registering them by putting code into function and calling:
add_action('widgets_init','smth)
but by using that style my wordpress doesn't show any additional widget area in customize>widgets
FUNCTIONS.PHP CODE(widgets at the bottom):
<?php
add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
add_theme_support('menus');
