    I know that a footer can be created by making a Static Block, but I don’t really understand how to even edit/create a static block. I know it’s a widget and I can see the option to add a new one but I don’t really get it. I added [block=””][/block] to the Shortcode Mapper in VC but I’m not sure if that’s correct and what step to take after that. I want to use one of the demo footers but how do I import the footer XML files?

    I’m a beginner so I understand that this might be simple,
    I’m just not getting it yet haha.

    Thank you for your help!

    Hello,

    You need import footer file from theme package > “XML Files” folder > “Footer Variants” folder. Next, go to Tools > Import > WordPress > upload chosen xml file, press “Upload File and import”. Check “Download and import file attachments” and press Submit button.
    The footer block will appear in Static Blocks section. You need add Static Block widget into “Footer” area in Appearance > Widgets.

    Also to enable Visual Composer editor in Static Block go to wp-admin panel > Visual Composer > Role Manager > Post Types > Custom > tick “Static Block”.
