Is there an easy way to turn off the default footer widgets and change the columns layout of them? I would like to have 1-2 columns/widgets in the footer area.

Hello,

You can only create your own footer with widgets as described in our documentation:
https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/blanco/index.html#!/widgets > The First, Secont, Third, Fourth Footer Widget Area.

So you offer no support as far as recommendations on editing the php, css for changing the column layout of the footer widgets? I can most definitely figure it out by trial and error, but it would be rad if someone could give me more in depth help since the documentation isn’t very informative…I don’t need as much going on in my footer as the default lays out. Thanks

Hello,

If you want to have only 2 columns in footer you can add widgets in The First or Second Footer Area and in the Fourth Footer Widget Area in Appearance > Widgets. You don’t need to fill all footer areas. Please try it.

Thank you.

Hello @redbutterfly,

In this case you can try to add CSS code.
Please provide us with link to the page where you added two widgets at the footer area.
Also provide us with wp-admin access in Private Content.

Thanks guys for the quick answers!!!!

Eva, I want to have only 2 or 3 columns at the footer area (I know how to do this), but I need the columns to be expanded.
example: for the first column -contact us- ( the phone is in two lines as the column is too small, same for email.
Please let me know how to expand the widgets at the footer area.

Thanks

Hello,

Try to use this code in custom.css file to customize footer:
```
.footer-information .col4-set .col-1 {
   margin-left: 200px;
}
.footer-information .two-third {
    width: 420px;
}
.footer-information .one-third {
    margin-right: 100px;
}
```
To create custom.css you need rename default.custom.css to custom.css in wp-content/themes/blanco directory via FTP and enable it in Blanco – Theme Settings, tick “Enable Custom CSS file”.

Eva Kemp.

Hi all,
Rather than editing a CSS file and FTP’ing it to your server it’s easier to use a plugin like Simple Custom CSS and make changes on the fly which are carried forward on upgrades etc.

I’m a new user of the Blanco WPEC theme (2nd day today) and also found the standard footer more than I need. I had already tried using CSS to resize the exiting columns but couldn’t get them to stack tidily on mobiles and tablets.

What I ended up doing was to move an empty text widget to each of the First/Second/Third/Firth/Pre-footer/Twitter and Payments widget areas. That basically clears out the standard Blanco footer.

Then to build my footer I put a Text widget into the Footer Copyrights widget and put all my html in there, my footer now has 4 rows 100% wide with the 1st and third rows being 3 columns each. Now on mobiles and tablets it all stacks tidily.

Regards,
Mike

Hi Eva,
I don’t require any assistance in relation to this topic. I just thought I’d suggest an alternative way to achieve the result the raiser was after.
