Introduction to Customizing Your Elementor Footer

Elementor is a powerful visual builder that allows you to create custom websites with ease. One of the key elements in any website is the footer, which often contains important information and links. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to customize and fix your Elementor footer using both Elementor Pro and the free version of Elementor. We will also discuss how to create your own footer using the Theme Builder feature in Elementor Pro.

Fixing a Footer in Elementor

1. Access the Elementor Editor in WordPress

Log into your WordPress dashboard. Select the Elementor editor for your desired page or post.

2. Locate the Footer Section

Find the footer section that you want to adjust.

3. Enter Edit Mode

Click on the edit section icon (it looks like a pencil) in the top-left corner of the footer section.

4. Navigate to the Advanced Tab

Within the panel on the left side of the screen, go to the Advanced tab.

5. Add a Unique CSS Class

In the CSS Classes option, add a unique class name. For example, you could use .fixed-footer. Click the Update button to save your changes.

6. Customize with Additional CSS

Go to Appearance Customize in your WordPress dashboard. Select Additional CSS from the left-hand menu. Add the following code to the text box, replacing .fixed-footer:

.fixed-footer {  position: fixed;  bottom: 0;  left: 0;  width: 100%;  background-color: #333;  color: #fff;  padding: 20px;  box-sizing: border-box;}

This will ensure that the footer is fixed at the bottom of the page and remains visible even when users scroll down. Save your changes and exit the customizer.

Creating a Custom Footer Using Elementor Pro

If you have Elementor Pro, you can easily create a custom footer using the Theme Builder feature.

Log into your WordPress dashboard. Click on Themes ThemeBuilder. Select Add New Template. Choose either Header or Footer. Name your header template and click Create Header or Footer. Create your custom footer design by either using a premade template or creating one from scratch. Once you have made the needed changes, click Publish and choose where to publish the header or footer. The default is the entire site.

That’s it! You can now see your handcrafted footer live on your site.

Changing a Footer from the Library in Elementor

If you prefer to use one of the blocks available in the template library, follow these steps.

Scroll down to the footer section in the center. Click on the light blue X at the top edge of any block. This will delete the footer. Select a new footer block from the library. Hover over any element within the footer to discover the elements you want to change. All sections will be cordoned off with a light blue border. The footer may have three sections: page list, copyright, and social media. Customize these elements to suit your needs.

The process of changing a footer in Elementor is both flexible and user-friendly, allowing you to tailor your website to your specific requirements. Whether you use the free version or Elementor Pro, you can easily customize and fix your footer to ensure it meets your design goals and enhances user experience.
