Footer menu customisation

[kohh]

Hi Support Team

I am using x theme with the Icon stack and have pages with an individual scrolling sidebar. The image below is a screenshot of my footer section where the black background to the left is the bottom of my sidebar.

I have activated two footer widget areas:

I wish to apply a bit of customisation to the footer and I’m hoping for a bit of help:

1. How can I make the footer menu horizontal?
2. How can I then align it to the right side of the page? (or move the menu to the second widget area which I guess isn’t designed to be as easy to do as the regular page editing option where I can see the outline of the section and elements)
3. How do I remove the lines separating the menu items?

Many many thanks

Hi Cham,

Thanks for writing in! I have tested the following plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/podamibe-simple-footer-widget-area/) which allows you to add a footer menu horizontally.

You can simply setup your menu in the second or thrid footer area according to your preference.

In this menu, you will not have vertical lines. In case if you want to remove the lines on the left and right, add the following CSS rules into your X -> Theme Options -> CSS area.

ul#sfwa-credit-menu li:first-child {
    border-left: none;
}
ul#sfwa-credit-menu li {
    border-right: none;
}

Hope that helps.

Thanks for helping me out Darshana.

I was hoping it could be done within X theme so I might re-think the design (prefer to keep plugins minimal to avoid any unexpected conflicts!)

Cheers

Hey Cham,

X does have a horizontal menu in the footer which you can enable in X > Theme Options > Footer. It’s just not within the widgets though so to achieve what you need, you’ll need a plugin like what Darshana showed you. He forgot to tell that it’s only an example though. He really went above and beyond the scope of our support which is great but please just note that we could not always suggest a plugin let alone provide customization or custom code.

Thanks.
