Using the grid-system in theme for extended footer

By Inge van Bremen-Valstar, 8 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 8 years ago.

Hi,
I used to work with Bootstrap 3. In my theme or in a template I could write a layout-part like so:

	<div class="container clearfix">
		<div class="row">

			<div class="col-xs-12">
				<h1>My heading</h1>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>

I need a few rows that show on all pages, so I want to put that in the (child) footer.php (other then the footer as it is, with widgets – I also use that).
I could set it up on a page an copy the produced code to footer.php, but I’m curious to how I could handcraft it!

    Hi Inge

    Thanks for reaching out.

    There unfortunately isn’t a regular CSS level grid system built into Vantage. Your plan sounds solid but you’d need to manually build the additional part of your layout using HTML and custom CSS for your new HTML.

    What I did in the end: add a custom sidebar above the existing footer-sidebar and styled it to stretch full width above the existing footer. Now it is possible to place the Layout Builder widget and have all the control over the content!

    Would still be nice though if PB uses a grid system, making it a little easier to extend a theme.
