Secondary Footer

I’m having trouble adding a secondary footer. I was able to add a secondary header in the child theme by creating a duplicate file (header-alt.php) in the root and template-parts folder, duplicating the function to render in the init.php file, and adding a condition to call it in page.php. In both folders I included the original header.php file along with the alt version, and it’s worked perfectly.

I replicated this process to make a second footer, but this time it’s not working.

I think the issue is occurring when the new footer file in the theme-root tries connecting to the new file in /template-parts/ folder. Adding <?php get_footer(‘alt’); ?> to the index is definitely reaching footer-alt file, but when I change the root footer-alt.php file the footer just disappears from the page. I can also see that the code connecting them is set up differently than it was in the header file.

This is the function in the init file:

function wpbf_do_footer2() {
	get_template_part( 'inc/template-parts/footer-alt' );
}
add_action( 'wpbf_footer2', 'wpbf_do_footer2' );

This is the changed line in the theme child-theme/footer-alt.php

do_action( 'wpbf_before_footer' );
if ( 'none' !== get_theme_mod( 'footer_layout' ) ) {
	do_action( 'wpbf_footer2' );
}
do_action( 'wpbf_after_footer' );

In the header there wasn’t a condition between the before/after, just <?php do_action( 'wpbf_header2' ); ?> – I wonder if there’s something I’m missing here that is causing it not to work, or if I missed a step creating the action.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
