2. Footer options

While the footer component is a component of the website, it isn’t found in the same place as the rest of the varied-width components.

Finding the component settings

To create a new footer or to edit an existing one, visit Settings > Site Settings. Scrolling to the bottom will reveal the Footer Component settings.

Enable

This simple check box dictates if the footer component will be enabled or disabled.

Internal or External
  • Internal: If the footer component will only be used on the specific site, the internal option is the way to go. This will create a footer component only throughout the current website.
  • External: If the footer component is helpful across multiple websites, the external option is the way to go.
Title

A title for the component can be simply added to the title field to give some context to the footer.

Menu

The main links for the footer component are added using a menu. A menu must be created before it can be added to the component. If a menu has already been created, adding one is as simple as selecting the correct menu from the drop-down.

Please note that the title of the menu does matter. This will be displayed as a subheading for all the links in the menu.

Social Media

The right-hand side of the footer component has the ability to house social media links. Here’s how to create a social media link:

  1. Click the “add row” button.
  2. In the “Icon” column, search for the correct social media icon to add to the component.
  3. Under the “Link” column, add the URL for the social media page.
  4. Under the “Title” column, add a label for the social media, i.e., Facebook, etc.
  5. To add additional social media links, click the “add row” button and repeat steps 2-5.
