Hi there,

I noticed in the theme that I can change the color of the footer. However, I would like to have a background image instead of a color. How do I go about adding a background to my footer?

Thank you in advance,

Holly

Hello,

You need create footer via Static Blocks http://8theme.com/demo/docs/royal/#!/9_footer and add background image in the row settings in VC editor.

I don’t see virtual composer in the static blocks area. Just the plain wordpress editor.

Hello,

To get VC editor shown for static blocks go to wp dashboard > Visual Composer > Role Manager > Post Types > Custom > tick “static blocks”.

Regards,
Rose Tyler.

Ok – thanks! That did the trick to show the Virtual Composer. Thank you!

Now I am having an issue that it’s not showing the background image that I added to the row in my static block – so my footer is still not showing.

This is the page I am working on:
http://diamondorthoticlab.com/about-us/

It shows an image if I just put one in the content area so I know the static block itself will show. But for some reason my row background is not. I would use the other method but it doesn’t go from edge to edge of the website content area. I added an empty space block just in case it needed some height to show the footer but that still didn’t work.

So, right now – I have an image in the static block and below it – the row with the image set as the row background. Both should be showing but the row is not showing the bg. Is there some setting I am missing or something like that?

Hello,

I’ve enabled the option “Include styles from “Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer” on every page” in Theme Options > General.

Check footer now.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

I’m still not seeing it.

Also, I moved the site. It is now at http://diamondorthoticlab.com/newsite

I moved it because you thought the index.html file in the main directory was the reason for my home page problem – but that is still an issue as well.

All credentials are the same – wordpress files are in the newsite folder.

Hello,

Not all files were moved. For example wp-includes folder is missing. Please check it attentively and restore your site as now it’s giving an error http://storage5.static.itmages.com/i/16/0825/h_1472109671_4621407_b0df94e99e.png .

I am aware… I am currently working on reinstalling wordpress and the template and all plug-ins into the new directory. I will see if that fixes the problem. If not, I will let you know.

Things are better – I can see a footer now after fresh install of everything. YAY!

However, it’s not displaying properly. I want a footer with a basic background and a copyright that shows over that. And possibly a menu along the bottom. But that’s for another day.

Any help or instructions for this? Driving me crazy.

I added content to both the footer 1 and footer 2 widgets but at the bottom of the edit page area where it says to choose a custom footer, only default and footer 1 show as options.

I tried to use the custom widget option instead and not select a footer but that doesn’t show right either.

There’s a black bar running through the footer – which I don’t want. And I’m having a hard time getting it to fit in the width of the website. I want it to go edge to edge of the boxed site and at the very bottom.

I’m hoping you can help.

Hello,

We still can’t access your site:
http://storage3.static.itmages.com/i/16/0826/h_1472195499_8349694_af8cd5ecc3.png

Please check it with your hosting provider.

Also you need create footer using Static Blocks as described in the documentation http://8theme.com/demo/docs/royal/#!/9_footer
To enable Visual Composer editor for static blocks go to WP Dashboard > Visual Composer > Role Manager > Post Types > tick needed elements.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.
