Centering the Footer Widgets ?

The footer widget area in Kelly is aligned with the left edge of the content at all browser sizes, as you can see in the demo here: http://kellydemo.wordpress.com/

Are you looking to centre the entire block of three widgets below the content area, or are you aiming to centre the text within each individual widget?

Right now there is the same amount of space between the left edge of the first widget and the left edge of the browser window, as there is from the right edge of the last widget and the right edge of the browser window. I added a border around each widget using a browser inspector so you can see what I mean:

To look balanced – no matter what content each widget area contains – each widget container, designated with the class widget-area, has a fixed width.

Were you the main developer behind this theme ?

I work with Automattic, the developers of Kelly. You can read more about the creation of Kelly – named after its designer Kelly Hoffman – here:

I’m also trying to figure out how to center the list of 8 items after the first paragraph on this post

Looks like you’re alreading getting help on this one in another thread.

I think it looks nice the way it is. Centered text should be used rarely, I think.

This is what the text within each widget would look like centered:

Just add this CSS to your child theme within a browser inspector to emulate it:

.widget-area, .widget-area .widget-title {
     text-align: center;
}

My pleasure. 🙂
