Good day,
I need to design a complex footer. What is the best way to accomplish this? Can I design a page and use that as the footer, hopefully guaranteeing responsiveness and also preventing things from breaking when doing updates to the theme or wordpress? As opposed to custom code in the widget area? Any suggestions.
Regards
Your changes won’t be lost if you’re using a child theme. You can download one here – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/downloads/
The mods have also made a video tutorial available explaining child themes.- http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/videos/
The theme options allow you to set up a footer widget area with up to 5 columns, and a socket below that.
Another way to approach it would be to use the ALB, design the segment you want, and save it as an ALB template, then deploy the template on every page you build. It makes it a little less manual that some other themes, more manual than others. Downsides I’ve experienced with this approach are that full width coloured sections at the bottom of the ALB pages prevents some of the other functionality working properly. So for example if the parent/child automatic sub-navigation breaks, and the ALB blog post seems erratic to say the least. I’ve got a couple of open threads at the moment seeking ways around this.
Hi!
Thank you for using Enfold.
@Sandie: Thanks for helping out!
@threepotatofour: What do you mean by “complex”? Please be specific. A screenshot will help.Regards,
IsmaelHey!
Thank you for using Enfold.
For the upper or logo part, you can take @Sandie’s advice. Use the advance layout builder then insert a color section with partner/logo element. Save this as a template. Apply the template on every page that you’re going to create. The bottom section of the footer looks simple enough. Go to Enfold > Footer then set the Footer Columns to 4. Use the Footer – Columns widget areas to modify each columns.
Cheers!
Ismael
