Hello there,

First off, great job with the theme. Looks great, and I appreciate all the constant updates and support you guys provide.

To the task at hand;I am trying to create a 4 column footer on the vantage theme for my website.

http://www.talentree.com.au/

I understand you included an update that allowed us to post widgets in the footer section.

However page builder doesn’t allow me to customize the footer the way I can with pages [or at least I don’t know how 🙁 ]
Also any other widget I put in the footer usually gets displayed without me actually adding it like I do with the sidebar widgets through pagebuilder, and also it only fits across the screen.

I am aiming to get something similar to the footer in this guy’s website, if at all possible.

Could someone point me in the right direction please?

I have a child theme, so all is good in the hood in that area.
I am also fine with editing php.files if the edits are not that major.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Bryan

I actually started adding a feature that allowed you to overwrite the footer widgets with the content of a page. There were a few problems though, so I’m putting off adding that feature. I’ll try get it in within the next few versions though.

For now, you could hack this. Especially if you’re using a child theme. Just create a new page using Page Builder. Get the ID of the page. You’ll see this in the URL of the page editing interface. It’s the number in the URL post=xxxx.

Add a file parts/footer.php to your child theme. Copy this from the Vantage parent. Add the following code from line 3.
```
<div id="footer-widgets" class="full-container">
	<?php
	$GLOBALS['post'] = get_post(276);
	echo apply_filters('the_content', $GLOBALS['post']->post_content);
	?>
</div>
```
Just change 276 to what ever the page ID is.

It’s not pretty, but it’ll work for now while I get the feature into Vantage core.

Ah yes, that seems to do the trick, but as you did mention it does turn out quite messy and I guess there would be a fair bit of CSS involved.

Well I will hold off on this, so long as it is in the pipeline to get a workaround this in the near future, otherwise I will just re-visit this solution and take it from there.

Thanks for your help Greg!
