thanks, this worked.
we still have problems switching from php 7.4 to 8.3 and suspect the enfold theme:

#15 {main}
thrown in /home/sven-hoernich/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-widget.php on line 163
[30-Jul-2024 09:15:17 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function WP_Widget::__construct(), 0 passed in /home/sven-hoernich/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-widget-factory.php on line 62 and at least 2 expected in /home/sven-hoernich/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-widget.php:163

this happens in the logs when switching to PHP 8.x – this is strangely a WP core function, so we are not quite sure what to do..

ok, how do “you have that”? Is this a feature in enfold?

No, but I think this won’t deter spammers as it is just a checkbox. It needs to be a bit more complicated I fear.. but this I can find myself, I just thought there is something built in. no problem..

thanks that’s fine!

here a screenshot as it looks here: https://www.screencast.com/t/1FlkRNjF7Wg4

Ok, I am stupid. Obviously it must look like this and then it works perfectly:

Ok, but I am not sure how I can create two widgets for each columns. I for instance can try to create a second widget named “Footer – column1”, but it get’s automatically renamed “Footer – column6” and I am at the same point as before (see original question).

In short: How to create two widgets for the same column?

thanks, I got the part where I control on which page a widget should appear (but I tried it with the widget logic plugin anyways in case I missed the reason you suggested it).

my problem is, that although I created footer widgets 6 to 10 I cannot get them to appear (with or without widget logic).

to make it even clearer: when I disable widget footer columns 1 to 5, no matter what condition I put into widget logic widget footer columns 6 to 10 don’t appear – only the built in wordpress widgets appear (as if no widgets have been created) – as if some enfold built in mechanism prevents the display of more widgets than the amount defined for a widget area

yes, this helped but brought up another issue: I did make some changes to the screen dimensions at which the mobile menu should appear because we have quite a wide main menu.

I did this according to some post from this forum:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1180px) {
#mobile-advanced, #advanced_menu_toggle, #advanced_menu_hide { display: block; }
nav.main_menu { display: none; }}

problem is, that the changes to the mobile menu in 4.2. somehow breaks this code. instead of appearing earlier it now isn’t visible at all below 1180px screen wide..

the screenshots are still there, here is the link again:

re the site, yes, just press the button, this is just a starter page for c9,.io, after that the website appears. if you are afraid, please use https://staging.wertstein.de/#referenzen

no, that’s for all of the 8 pictures under “referenzen”. c9.io just had an outage, please try again.

alternatively (and even preferably), would it be possible to put the caption on top of the picture like thi?:

nope, I want to add a language selector: https://presscustomizr.com/snippet/add-polylang-dropdown-navbar-widget/ :)
