In an attempt to add a footer area to Category Pages Ive come across "Elementor"

https://elementor.com/products/page-builder-plugin/

Is this plugin compatible with Salient  . . . seem to recall . . . it wasnt ?

I found this :

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65430906/how-to-add-custom-widget-area-to-woocommerce-product-category-pages-just-above

Can you tell me where Id need to add the :

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'footer-box-area' ) ) : ?>
<div id="secondary-sidebar" class="footer-box-area">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'footer-box-area' ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif;

code to get this working . . . added the function code fine (done this before) just cant find :

archive-product.php

Hi Noah neither WP Bakery or Elementor can edit WooCommerce Category pages  . . . .

My only option is to edit the category page I think, (adding seo text via the Woocommerce system just pushes the important category images down the page . . . (bad core design with Woocommerce tbh)

So I have to add an additional widget position so that I can talk about the products in that particular section for SEO purposes

Noah thats a great step in the right direction for me, many many thx

Using :

// Adding content after loop

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop', 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop' );
function woocommerce_after_shop_loop() {

if ( is_product_category() ) {
echo esc_html__("Custom content", "amc");
}

}

I got the "Custom content" displaying . . . Obviously I need to display different content for each individual Category at that position. I guess I could do that using "Widget Options" which Im running as a plugin in the site and I can dictate what gets shown that way . . .

https://widget-options.com/

how do I create a new widget block to display at that position ?

Can you help ? . . . 

Ive just tried 2 tutorials on adding a widget position . . . neither of them work for me.

https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-a-custom-wordpress-widget/

I copied that code into my functions.php file and no widget was displayed in the backend ?

So googled again and I found :

https://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes

and some code that needs to go into a sidebar.php file (which I copied from Salient and created in my child theme and pasted the code into)

Then the output shows  :

<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'home_right_1' ); ?>

Which Im guessing would replace "custom content" but I couldnt just do below surely and replace custom content within the quotation marks ?

"<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'home_right_1' ); ?>"

could I ?

EDIT : No I cant (but on a plus side I can see the new Widget option in the admin backend)

Just dont know how to incorporate the output in the "Custom Content" area

But if I do this :

if ( is_product_category() ) {
echo esc_html__(dynamic_sidebar( 'home_right_1' ), "amc");
}

It works . . . 

Apart from I have a random number 1 appearing ? any clues ?
