Wordpress If one of sidebars is active

Question

Im trying to build my first WordPress theme and need a little help.

I have 4 sidebar areas setup in the footer, I would like to add a conditional statement to only show the widget area if either footer-widget-1, footer-widget-2, footer-widget-3 or footer-widget-4 sidebars are active.

I have this code:

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'footer-widget-1' ) ) : ?>
<div id="footer">
<div class="container">
    <div class="col-xs-12 footer-widgets">
        <div class="col-xs-3">
            <?php dynamic_sidebar ('footer-widget-1');?>
        </div>
        <div class="col-xs-3">
            <?php dynamic_sidebar ('footer-widget-2');?>
        </div>

        <div class="col-xs-3">
            <?php dynamic_sidebar ('footer-widget-3');?>
        </div>

        <div class="col-xs-3">
            <?php dynamic_sidebar ('footer-widget-4');?>
        </div>
    </div> <!-- END FOOTER WIDGETS -->
</div> <!-- END CONTAINER -->
</div> <!-- END FOOTER -->
<?php endif; ?>

Which means the footer div will only show if footer-widget-1 has active widgets, I would like to change this so that the footer area displays if any of these sidebars have active widgets.

Help much appreiated.

This should be quite straightforward, try adding some simple or logic to your code and check if any of the widgets are active:

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'footer-widget-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'footer-widget-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'footer-widget-3' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'footer-widget-4' ) ) : ?>
