Adding a block to a page
Permalink
I am trying to add a sitewide block (I am guessing it is called a block) to the home page of our website (fresnoartmuseum.org) on the lower right side-- where the text "sign in" is. I have taken a screen shot of the backend and attached-- so I would like to basically duplicate the block on the left to be placed on the right side and then add some different content in it. I just have no clue as to how to do that. I would then want "sign in" to drop back to the bottom.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hard to say for sure without seeing the theme source and settings, but you (or someone else) probably need to modify the template and add an editable area inside the right side of the footer (<div class="footer-right">).
In order to create an additional Global Area on your page, you will need to edit the underlying PHP file on your server. The first place I would look for the file would be in:
root/themes/fam/elements/footer.php
Find the HTML that says <div class="footer-right"> and add the php code as shown below.
In order to edit the files on your server, you will need to access the server either through the host's Control Panel -> File Manager or by using an FTP client such as Filezilla.
If none of this makes any sense, send me a private message to talk about gaining access to the server.

<div class="footer-right"> <?php $a = new GlobalArea('Footer Right'); $a->display(); ?> <p><a href="/index.php/login/">Sign In</a></p> </div>
