Footer

2 min read Updated

The Footer section controls the footer text, the footer width and the footer spacing. Go to AppearanceCustomizeTheme SettingsFooter. The footer has two parts: the Footer widget area and the bottom bar below it with the footer text. The widget area shows when it has at least one widget and Footer Widgets is on in the page’s Page Settings.

The Footer section with the footer text, width and spacing settings

Bottom Bar

Footer Text
Sets the text in the bottom bar. Use {sitename} for your site title and {year} for the current year. You can add a link or other basic HTML, or leave the field empty to show no text. Default: {year} © {sitename}.

For example, to add the studio address with a phone link:

{year} &copy; {sitename}, 1200 Maple Avenue, Suite 400, Wilmington, DE 19801. <a href="tel:+13025550142">302-555-0142</a>

Privacy Policy Link
Show a link to your privacy policy page after the footer text. The link shows only when you choose a published page at SettingsPrivacy. Default: on.

The bottom bar also shows a “Theme by SiteOrigin” link. To remove it, see Display SiteOrigin Attribution in Branding.

Width

Constrain
Keep the footer content at the width of the page content, 1140 pixels. Turn it off to let the footer widgets and the bottom bar use the full width of the screen. Default: on.

Spacing

Top Padding
The space above and below the footer widgets. It has no effect when the Footer widget area is empty. Default: 80px.

Side Padding
The space on the left and right of the footer content. It applies only when Constrain is off. Default: 40px.

Top Margin
The space between the page content and the footer. Default: 80px.

The three spacing settings update the preview as you change them.

To add widgets, go to AppearanceWidgets and use the Footer widget area. Each widget gets its own column, and the columns stack on screens 768 pixels wide or less. See Widget Areas.

To hide the footer widgets or remove the footer top margin on one page, turn off Footer Widgets or Footer Top Margin in Page Settings.
