widget not showing (cause of wpml?)

Hey Heinz,
Thank you for your patience and the link to your site, I see that your footer widget areas are empty, when they are empty the demo widgets will show.
I see that you have created a custom widget area “footerhelp” but I don’t see and code in your child theme functions.php to tell the theme where to show this custom widget area, so I don’t know what your plans for this is. If you wanted to show this custom widget area under your footer then you would add this function to your child theme functions.php:

add_action('avia_after_footer_columns','avia_below_footer');
function avia_below_footer(){
dynamic_sidebar( 'footerhelp' );
}

But to show widgets in your footer please add the widgets to your footer column one and two.

I see that you have a child theme footer.php & header.php and these do not match the current footer.php & header.php, this will cause errors in your theme. We do not recommend adding these files to your child theme, it is the most common reason for errors when updating. Please remove these files and any customizations you wish to make should be done in your child theme functions.php

Best regards,
Mike
