Footer

Updated

Overview

A Footer is a block-editor layout for the bottom of the site. Create one under Footer → Add Footer.

The title is only for you; it labels the footer in the Customizer Footer list. Visitors see the blocks. A footer has no page, archive, or search result of its own.

Starter layout

A new footer opens with:

  • A Section set to Gray
  • A wide Columns block with three empty columns

You can change those block settings, or delete the starter blocks and add your own. Nothing is locked.

WordPress features

  • Supports: title, editor, revisions
  • Archive: none
  • Public URL: none. Footers are left out of site search and have no page of their own
  • Featured image / excerpt: not used

Put it on the site

A published footer does nothing until you select it under Appearance → Customize → Dirigible Plugins → Freeform Footer and turn Enable on.

See Usage → Getting started for the switch-on steps.

Tips

  • Keep one live footer and use revisions if you need to roll back.
  • You can publish extra footers and switch between them in the Customizer without deleting the unused ones.
  • Build the footer like a small page: Section for the background, columns or other blocks for the content.
