Adding Footer Content

    • Arrange blocks as needed
    • Click Save when finished

Customization Options

Style Adjustments:

  • Version 7.1 allows separate desktop and mobile layouts

Hiding the Footer

To remove footer from all pages:

  2. Click the trash can icon
  3. Save changes

To hide on specific pages:

  1. Open Pages panel

Important Notes:

  • Footer content appears on all site pages
