I moved `get_sidebar();` from `header.php` to `footer.php` but it <s>simply does not appear</s> is being placed after the last post in the page body instead of after the footer. There are no errors displayed. What do I need to do to get this working? functions.php /** * Register widget area. * * @link https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/sidebars/#registering-a-sidebar */ function isometricland_widgets_init() { register_sidebar( array( 'name' => esc_html__( 'Sidebar', 'isometricland' ), 'id' => 'sidebar-1', 'description' => esc_html__( 'Add widgets here.', 'isometricland' ), 'before_widget' => '<section id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</section>', 'before_title' => '<h2 class="widget-title">', 'after_title' => '</h2>', ) ); } add_action( 'widgets_init', 'isometricland_widgets_init' ); footer.php <?php global $path_root, $page_title, $path_img, $path_ssi, $path_css, $path_jav; include_once($path_ssi .
