    I want two columns in my footer but instead of the half and half layout I want it 2/3 and 1/3. How would I go about making that happen? I’m already working in a child theme with some custom code in the footer.php file.

    Hey brilliantbluedesigns,

    We guess something on your code broke the things.
    We need access to the site, but if there is a lot of custom work, we will not be able to help and you would need to hire someone
    But still, please send us over the site for review.

    Best regards,

    I think you are misunderstanding. The site is not broken in the least. Nothing in my code “broke” the thing- to be honest, the custom code that is in my footer was taken from these very forums and it only affects the copyright. I am just trying to do some customizing that is not currently built in. I’m most definitely not asking for help fixing anything- I’m asking to be pointed in the right direction to customize. I am not happy with how the functionality isn’t built in to the footer like it is in every page. Footers should be set up on the same grid, design wise- not set on a different, stricter grid, in my opinion. You’ve limited the options for the design of the footer in a really artificial and strange way by not allowing different size columns for the widgets. I’m not going to hire somebody to do something that I feel is a basic flaw in your theme design- so if that’s where we are, that’s fine too, just consider this entire thread a very strong suggestion for future improvements. Just let me know if that is the case. I can draw you wireframes and point you in the direction of examples that illustrate exactly what I mean design wise. (I’m a designer and developer on multiple platforms, I do know what I’m talking about).

    Site is linked below. The widgets in the footer are in the standard 1/2 and 1/2 (aka av_one_half) columns right now because that is what two columns default to in the code (I know this, I’ve read the code). I want some help changing that to your very own template code of 2/3 (av_two_third) for the first widget column and 1/3 (av_one_third) for the second widget column. I know I can’t write in the full functionality of choosing which layout I want on the fly (which would be the ideal theme option- if we were talking that suggestion above) , so that static choice is very much good enough.

    Hi brilliantbluedesigns,

    Can you try adding this css code in Quick CSS (located in Enfold > General Styling):

    #footer .flex_column.av_one_half {
        width: 23.5%;
    }
    
    #footer .flex_column.av_one_half.first {
        width: 70.5%;
    }

    this should make a 2/3 and 1/3 layout in the footer widgets. Let us know if this helps :)

    Best regards,
    Nikko
