The Footer Template Builder in BlogNews for Elementor allows designing custom footers visually with Elementor.
Instead of relying on the theme’s default footer, this feature provides complete control to add widgets such as Menus, Copyright, Social Icons, Search, and Site Logo.
Footers can be applied globally or conditionally, ensuring flexibility for different sections of a website.
How to Create a Footer Template
Follow these steps to create a custom footer with Site Builder:
- Go to the WordPress Dashboard.
- From the left sidebar, navigate to BlogNews → Site Builder.
- Select the Footer tab and click Create Template.
- Choose the Display Conditions, such as:
- Entire Site – apply the footer to the whole website.
- Specific Pages – assign it to selected pages.
- Categories/Archives – apply it only to specific post categories or archives.
- Click Create Template to open the Elementor editor.
- Design the footer by dragging widgets like Menus, Copyright, Site Logo, or Social Icons.
- Once complete, click Publish to make the footer live based on the display conditions selected.
Content & Display Settings
When creating a footer template, Site Builder provides:
- Template Name: Add a descriptive name for easy identification.
- Display Conditions: Decide where the footer should appear (entire site, homepage only, or specific sections).
- Edit with Elementor: Access Elementor’s drag-and-drop interface for visual customization.
Styling Controls
Since the footer is designed with Elementor, all styling settings of BlogNews widgets are available:
- Container Styling: Background color, gradient, or image, along with padding, margin, and shadow effects.
- Widget Styling: Widgets such as menus, copyright, or social icons include their own color, typography, spacing, and hover effect controls.
- Responsive Controls: Configure different designs for desktop, tablet, and mobile to ensure a professional look across devices.
Pro Tip
- Use contrasting colors for readability, especially if the footer has a dark background
