Footer column number changed

    Hi,
    Firstly, I am a big fan of this theme and am using the extended version on at least 20 sites, thank you.

    I’m working on a new site and something odd happened. I had two custom HTML widgets in the footer and they were side by side. I then added a third and all of a sudden they were all in one long column on the left. I removed them all and recreated them but they are still in one column.

    The HTML for the start of my footer area looks like this …

    <footer class="site-footer">
								                <div class="widget-area sidebar-footer clear">
                        <div class="bnt-container">
                            <div id="custom_html-10" class="widget_text column-2 widget widget-footer widget_custom_html clear">

    Any ideas why the custom HTML class changed to column-2 please?
    And how/where can I make it column-3 again?

    Thanks in advance,

    Tim

    Hello Tim, really glad you’ve found a lot of uses for Bento 🙂
    Regarding the issue at hand: the function that counts the number of active widgets in the footer widget area is bento_count_footer_widgets(), it’s located in the main functions.php theme file. There isn’t much there that could cause glitches, mostly WP core stuff – but one thing is a bit more custom: the mechanisms that filters those widgets according to the currently active language (in case one is using the Polylang plugin). If you happen to be using it on your website, please let me know!

    Also, would it be possible to have a look at the live page? That would allow skipping several steps in the troubleshooting process.

    Hiya,

    Thanks for the reply. No I’m not using the Polylang plugin.

    The site is currently hidden behind a coming soon page, can I email you a skip link please?

    Cheers,
    Tim

    Thanks Andrii,

    This problem is now solved. It was caused by the Ultimate Social Media Icons plugin which uses a generic .clear class which was inadvertently making each footer div clear the previous one, thus stacking them rather than letting them all be inline.

    Andrii’s solution was some custom css …

    .widget-footer, .clear {clear: none !important;}
