 * Hi all,
   Can someone please help with this footer issue I’m having?For some reason,
   on mobile view there isn’t any padding on the footer content. They’re squashed
   up to the far left of the screen/side of view.Not quite sure what I can do to
   fix?As additional question, I can’t also seem to the link the ‘Contact Me’ to
   email even though I’m using he same link as the one in the footer (which does
   work)?Many thanks!

 * Hi there, the footer can be edited under **Appearance → Editor → Design → Patterns
   → Manage all my patterns → Footer**.
 * Select the main **Group** block that contains the footer content, then open the
   block settings on the right and go to **Styles → Dimensions**. You can add left
   and right padding there. You may also want to switch to the mobile preview while
   editing to check the spacing.
 * Here’s a video explaining how the pattern/margin features work: [https://learn.wordpress.org/lesson/dimensions-padding-margin-and-block-spacing/](https://learn.wordpress.org/lesson/dimensions-padding-margin-and-block-spacing/)
 * For the “Contact Me” link, make sure the link is entered in this format:
 * `mailto:your@email.com`
 * If “Contact Me” is a Button or Navigation block, select the individual block 
   itself before editing the link, rather than the surrounding Group block.
 * Remember to save both the footer and the template after making the changes.

 * Ahh thank you.
   I’ll take a look later today and let you know how I get on.Also,
   the Contact Me CTA disappears in mobile (as the header changes to burger icon).
   Is this something that can be fixed?

 * The contact me is now working thank you (I thought I’d set it to mailto like 
   in the footer but I’d clearly missed that!
   I can’t seem to have any settings 
   for the footer padding however.I’ve followed your route through (and the video)
   but there doesn’t seem to be any way to edit the padding or other details?
