Default Footer Size

  • A3user started the conversation

    Hi, I would like to change the size of the default footer (the one that you can change the text in the Gem theme options / footer section. The reason for this is that I have a custom text there and all the social media icons too but since I also have a Live Chat plugin, if I place the plugin at the bottom, in the mobile site, the live chat widget blocks the social media icons. I had to put the live chat widget several pixels up to avoid the clocking but it looks horrible that far up. 

    If I could make the footer bellow after the social icons then I can put the live chat widget at the bottom without it blocking the icons.

    HI!

    pls. use following css:

    #footer-nav {
        padding: 40px 0 ;
        min-height: 300px;
    }

    Thanks for the reply Max. I thought that code would fix the problem but it didn't 100%. It works because now the social icons are not being blocked by the live chat widget but the text from the default footer is still being blocked (by little) because for some reason it is shown at the bottom instead of remaining at the top like the social icons. Check my image attached.

    Hi,

    I see an empty block here, apparently you have an empty footer menu, delete it and increase the bottom padding

    Thanks Max, where can I edit the code from the default footer? Do I need to edit the theme php and every time I update the theme I will need to edit it again?

    HI, you need:

    a) add a child theme https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/
    b) copy template themes/thegem/footer.php  in themes/child_theme/
    c) search and delete this block

    Show schematically what result you want to achieve, and provide wp-admin access , I'll try to do it without changing the template
