Newsmag: Customizing Footer Style #2

Posted in: Newsmag
Post count: 68

Hi – I’m trying to customize Footer Style #2, a three-column style using my Footer Info from the Newsmag > Theme Panel > Footer section as Column 1. For column 2, I want to use the “Popular Category” widget and for column 3, the “Block 7” widget.

So, in WordPress > Appearance, I dragged the “tagDiv Popular Categories” widget into the “Footer #1” widget, and the “Block 7” widget into the “Footer 2” widget like this – https://ibb.co/VYjb3QK – and saved.

This was the result: https://ibb.co/xfs1P5m

1) There appears to be an alignment problem: The “Popular Categories” content appears below the Footer info I entered into Theme Panel > Footer – instead of to the right of it. The “Block 7” content is in Column 2 and not Column 3. None of the other pre-created 3-column footer formats seem to align as expected, either. How can this be corrected? Please provide step-by-step instructions.

2) Also, I want to change the font for “Popular Categories” – How do I do that?

Please provide step-by-step instructions. Just giving a screenshot of the solution is difficult to interpret.

Thank you.

Hi,

I have made a simple test with the Footer Style 2. Just added three Blocks 1 on the Widgets and the result is here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/YMIwu1cqL Also, if you want to change the font-family to your popular categories, you need to use a bit of CSS code for that. You can provide oyur website URL for that.

Thank you!

Hi Catalin, Thanks for the reply. I want the footer content from the Theme Panel to appear in column 1 of the footer. Then, I want other blocks to appear in column 2 and column 3. In your example, you added a “Block 1” block in the Footer 1 widget, and that block appears below the footer from the Theme Panel in column 1 – not to the right of it in column 2.

So I tried work-arounds. First, I left the Footer 1 widget empty, and then put the other blocks into Footer 2 and Footer 3 – but it didn’t work that way. So next, I put a ‘Custom HTML’ widget into Footer 1 with the color to be #222222. But I could not figure out how to make an empty row that is not white. Can you please reply with a snippet <div> (code) </div> that will insert an empty row with the color #222222 ?

Also, I don’t understand about using CSS code to change the font-family. Can you please provide an example, and tell me where to place it? Thanks.

Hi,

I have checked your website and I saw that your Footer section seems to look good. Did you have resolved in the meanwhile? Also, if you want to change the font-family for your Popular Category section, you need to use the code below and place it in Theme panel -> Cusotm CSS area.

.td_block_popular_categories.widget_categories a{
font-family:Verdana!important;
}

The result is here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/c8DnqDMGjzGr

Note: The font you want to change should have to beloaded from your Theme panel if you want it to be applied.

Hope this helps!

Thank you!
