  • Hi @michelletamarad

    Thanks for reaching out. Andrew from SiteOrigin support here.

    We do our best to help out with small customisation requests. Unfortunately, this isn’t possible without a fair amount of custom coding. This is beyond the scope of what we can help you with on the forums, but you could hire a developer to implement this for you.

    Sorry I don’t have better news.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your quick response. I have full knowledge of HTML, PHP and CSS and I already put the <?php wp_footer() ?> outside of the footer.php file, but that doesn’t seem to work..

    Could you maybe give me a coding hint? Which file do I need to adjust? Otherwise I have t solve this in an other way and might change my theme 🙁

    Thanks!

    Sure 🙂 This is a different situation then. We can advise, no problem.

    You’ll need to working in a child theme.
    Copy footer.php from the parent to the child leaving the original in the parent theme.
    Cut lines 1 – 15 and paste them below the div closure that immediately follows.
    Or put another way, cut the first div closure in the file and paste it at the top of the file.

    #page-container is the box. All we’re looking to do is move #footer-widgets out of #page-container. You can then make color and margin tweaks from there.

    That however won’t get you a 100% width footer. If you want that then you need to shift lines 1 – 15 in footer.php to below the second div closure. You’ll then also need to cut lines 19 – 25 (copyright) and paste those below your widget area.

    Hope this helps get you started.
