Customization:
- Replace 158aee in order to change the color blue (outside your footer section). You can select your hexadecimal color here.
- Replace ddd to change the color of your footer body section.
- Replace FE2EF7 in order to change the pink background of your specific footer widget.
- Replace d8d8d8 to change color title of your list item (li), like for example in the popular post widget the (first) list item is Sample Post for Testing.
- Delete the orange highlighted text above if you want to disable the hover effect on your footer widget.
- To subtract or get one column footer, just delete the tag
- Or if you want to add another column footer, just add the code below,
<div id='lowerbar-wrapper'> <b:section class='lowerbar' id='lowerbar4' preferred='yes'> </b:section> </div>
<div id='lowerbar-wrapper'> <b:section class='lowerbar' id='lowerbar5' preferred='yes'> </b:section> </div>But be sure to replace the width 23% with 17% in order to fit properly all your footer widgets in your footer's body section.
