i am using neve theme elementor, and i am trying to add widgets to my footer, but nothing shows. I am going to Appearance>Widgets>then add text and images to all footer columns - 1,2,3,4 respectively and when i hit update, and refresh the site, nothing shows.

I have checked this answer

What am i doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated !

L.E SOLUTION : So the solution for this issue (for the beginners of wordpress like me here that could have the same dilemma) is like Daniyal said that before adding widgets to your Header and Footer in the Appearance > Widgets you actually have to design the header/footer in the Appearance > Customize section, by defining through drag and droping which area of the Footer for example Footer 1 is or Footer 2 or so on. Once the areas are defined the widgets added in widgets section will appear in the correct areas defined by the user.
