Footer

Building a custom footer?

The options below configure Salient’s built-in footer: widget columns, copyright line and colors. To design a footer freely, build it in the page builder as a global section instead. That way the footer is made of the same rows, columns and elements as the rest of your site, with no widget areas involved. See Creating a Footer.

The built-in footer remains fully supported, and the settings below apply to it.

Theme Options > Footer configures the built-in footer: how many widget columns it has, the copyright bar under them, social icons and the Footer Reveal Effect, and the colors of each part.

  • Main Footer Area Toggle Toggles the display of the footer widget area (configured in Appearance > Widgets).
  • Footer Columns Choice Sets the number of columns used in your footer widget area.
  • Custom Footer Color Scheme Toggle Sets the color scheme for your footer or lets you define your own. Selecting “custom” for the color scheme gives you color pickers for everything related to the footer.
  • Footer Add Line Above Copyright Toggle Adds a thin line separating your footer widget area from the copyright section.
  • Footer Reveal Effect Toggle Makes the footer appear as though it’s being revealed by the main content area when scrolling down to it.
  • Footer Reveal Shadow Choice When using the Footer Reveal Effect, sets whether a shadow is cast on the footer from the main content area of your website.
  • Disable Footer Copyright Area Toggle Hides the copyright bar in your footer.
  • Footer Copyright Section Text Text The copyright section text, e.g. All Rights Reserved, Salient Inc.
  • Disable Automatic Copyright Toggle Removes the “© {YEAR} {SITENAME}” that by default appears before the additional text you add in the Footer Copyright Section Text input.
  • Use {Social Media} Icon All of the social media icons available in the header navigation can also be chosen here.
