add_action( 'widgets_init', 'wpfolks_register_footer_utility_sidebar' );

function wpfolks_register_footer_utility_sidebar() {
    register_sidebar( array(
        'name'          => __( 'Footer Utility', 'wpfolks' ),
        'id'            => 'footer-utility',
        'before_widget' => '<section id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget'  => '</section>',
    ) );
}
