Hello,
In this case, we would recommend you create the footer using a static block. Enable Elementor for static blocks – https://xstore.helpscoutdocs.com/article/47-static-blocks
Theme Options > General > Enable Old Widgets Panel > On. Theme Options > Footer >Footer layout > Footer Columns > select 1 column, Show Footer Demo Blocks > Off.
Dashboard > Static blocks > create a new block with “Footer” title, edit it using Elementor, set the desired amount of columns and content. Then go to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Footer > add static block widget and select your Footer block.
Regards
