How do register_sidebar() and get_sidebar() work together?

You just call get_sidebar() from index.php and it loads the theme file sidebar.php.

register_sidebar(), on the other hand, is used for widgets where plugins and such want to dynamically add content in your sidebar.php file if your theme supports it.

In your case, is there a file called sidebar-footer.php in your theme’s directory?
