Footer

Set the widget area's typography and spacing, then the copyright bar's text, alignment and colors.

The Copyright section of the Footer panel

Customize > Footer

Two sections cover the footer: Footer Area, the widget region above the very bottom of the page, and Copyright, the thin bar underneath it. Footer colors themselves - background, text, links - are not set here. They come from your active palette, and if you need to override one, that’s in Color Options > Individual Colors (and its dark-mode twin), not in this panel.

Covers the typography and spacing of the widget area where your footer widgets sit:

  • Widget Title Typography. The font used for each widget’s heading.
  • Content Typography. The font used for the widget area’s body text and links.
  • Footer Padding (top, right, bottom, left). Space around the widget area as a whole. Defaults to 70px top and bottom, 0px on the sides.

If your footer widgets look cramped or overly spaced, this is the section to adjust rather than a specific widget’s own settings.

Covers the bar at the very bottom of every page:

  • Enable Footer Copyright. Turns the whole bar on or off. Every other setting in this section only applies while it’s on.
  • Copyright Text. The text shown in the bar. It accepts HTML, so you can add a link or basic formatting, and it ships with placeholders you can keep or remove: [current_year], [site_title] and [theme_author].
  • Alignment. Left, right or center.
  • Copyright Border Color. The color of the bar’s top border, separate from the palette’s general border color.
  • Padding (top, right, bottom, left). Space inside the bar. Defaults to 20px top and bottom, 0px on the sides.

A note on the copyright text field

Because Copyright Text accepts HTML, it’s a common place to add a privacy policy link or a designer credit alongside the automatic copyright line. Keep in mind this field is plain HTML, not a rich-text editor - write markup directly (<a href="/privacy/">Privacy Policy</a>) rather than expecting a toolbar.

Check that you’re editing the section you think you are: Footer Area only affects the widget region, and Copyright only affects the bottom bar - a change to one never touches the other. If a color looks unchanged after a palette switch, see how the color system works - footer colors follow the same palette-then-override rules as the rest of the site.
