Hi, @berghouse
To edit the number of columns in the footer of a WordPress site, you will need to access the theme files. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
1. Log in to the WordPress dashboard and navigate the Appearance menu.
2. Click on the Editor option to access the theme editor, where you can edit the theme files.
3. On the right side of the screen, you will see a list of theme files. Look for the file that controls the footer, which is usually called footer.php or something similar.
4. Click on the file to open it in the editor. You will see the code that controls the layout and content of the footer.
5. Look for the code that controls the number of columns in the footer. This is usually done using a grid system, where the footer is divided into a certain number of columns. A CSS class or an HTML element often controls the number of columns.
6. To reduce the number of columns, you will need to remove one of the column divs or change the CSS class to a smaller grid size. Be sure to take caution when making changes, as removing any important code could break the layout or functionality of the footer.
7. Once you have made the necessary changes, click the Update File button to save your changes. You should now see the updated footer on your site.
It’s essential to keep in mind that editing theme files can be risky, as it can cause issues with the layout or functionality of your site. So be careful.
Thank you.
