Why does the contents of the Footer 1 Widget Area appear to be duplicated in the Directions drop down?
I just happened to notice that, when I click on the Directions menu entry in the Utility menu in the top right of my website (http://www.logos.uucm.org/), to the right of the map is duplicated the entire contents of the Footer 1 Widget Area (including the Custom Meta Widget I added below the Church address text widget) Why is this? It's certainly not clear why it should be. It happens that the church address is the first widget in the Footer 1 Widget Area, but it could be anything else, presumably. I think this is a bug, unless you can explain it to me...

It's intentional, so not a bug. We want the address beside the directions, we also want it displayed on every page. It's the second most common complaint of people visiting the sites, that they can't find it.
That translates to:
- You must enter a text widget in Footer 1, with the church address and contact details therein, if you want it displayed in the Directions section.
- You should not add any other widget to the Footer widget area, else you will find it duplicated in the directions area.
Here's the instructions for the footer and the header.
