@mica123 the colophon widget will be deprecated in upcoming versions.

You can add widgets from Appearance > Widgets > Footer Widgets.

Once you add the widgets, go to Customizer > Footer > Footer Widget Layout > Footer Widgets Column.

Increase the number as per your site requirement and publish the setting.

The edit feature of powered by text will be available in the next version of Responsive Pro add on.

Please let us know if you need any additional assistance.

I am sorry but this is not what I was asking about – I am afraid you misunderstood. I have no problem with the colophon widget – and I sincerely hope youn will not deprecate it.

I am asking about the div.footer-layouts – this appears right next to the colophon widget on the right side. I need to move it down below the colophon widget and I can’t see any way to do it. Can you please advise on this.

Thank you.

It is too bad that you are going to deprecate the colophon widget. I will have to try to register and add it myself.

As for the footer widgets, can they be stacked on top of each other or do they appear on the same row?

I would appreciate a reply.

Thank you.

To add a footer widget follow the steps.
1. Go to Customizer > Footer > Footer Widget Layout
2. Increase the number of “Footer Widgets Column” as per your site requirement and publish the setting.
3. Go to Customizer > Widgets > Footer Widget 1
4. Click on “Add a Widget” button. You should be able to add the widget you want to add.

Please let us know if you need any additional assistance.

Thank you but this is not what I asked. I do know how to add the Footer Widget 1. Increasing the number of columns only puts the columns on the same row – one next to each other. I am asking about stacking them one on top of each other. For now I’ve had to do the following:
1. Added Footer Widget 1.
2. Added two text widgets to Footer Widget 1.
3. Had to create a CSS code to move the second text widget below the first text widget.

If there is a better way of doing this, please let me know.

Also, I would appreciate it if you could explain the following:
I am still using the colophon widget which to my great disappointment you are going to deptrecate. I have a number of images on the same row in it. I use the flexbox CSS which works beautifully for it – but it doesn’t work at all in the Footer Widget 1 – the images do not resize there properly – can you please explain why? The code which works for the colophon widget is:

div.floating-box {
	display: flex;
	display: -webkit-flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
	 align-items:center;
	-webkit-align-items: center;
	color: #02944B;
	width: 1024px !important;}

I found what the problem was with the flexbox. It was because you changed the CSS in your parent theme.

Anyway, I would still appreciate the clarification to my question to stacking up the widgets on top of each other – not next to each other – I posted earlier (see above).

Thank you.

@mica123,

Yes, we’re moving towards using flexbox instead of the floating divs.

To stack all widgets on top of each other, please:

1. Go to Customizer > Footer > Footer Widget Layout
2. Set “Footer Widgets Column” to 1
3. Go to Customizer > Widgets > Footer Widget 1
4. Add your widgets to Footer Widget 1

Please let us know if you need further help.

Thank you for the clarification on stacking up the widgets in Footer Widget 1.
You misunderstood my comment on the flexbox – my code is for flexbox, not the floating div.
I simply named the div .floating box for the CSS – I could easily rename it to flexbox. So to make it clear: my code is for flex, not float. Anyway, I solved it because your CSS for this particular text widget is inheriting the width – I had to “disinherit” the width.

As for the the div.footer-layouts which I mentioned earlier in this post: this appears right next to the footer widget on the right side. I need to move it down below it. For now I modified the CSS to get around this (lowering the top margin, getting rid of flex, floating left and adjusting the left margin) – this seems to be the only way for me. Unless you can tell me that there is an easier way to do this. Thank you.

I hope to get a reply to this issue.

If you can share the URL of your site, it would be helpful for both of us to figure out what you want without any confusion.

However, from what I understood, please go to Customize -> Footer -> Footer Settings and choose Footer Bar Layout as ‘Vertical’ and see if that is what you want.

If you want footer-layouts (copyright and social icons) side by side but below the colophon widgets, you will have to add CSS. This is not yet possible with the options available in the theme.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you but “Vertical” is not what I want.

Also, I am asking about footer-layouts without the social icons (I am not displaying the social icons). I am simply asking whether the footer-layous (meaning only the copyright) is normally posuitioned right at the bottom of the screen on the left side. At the moment it appears on the right side next to the footer widget. I’ve had to use CSS to move it to the bootom and to the left. Can you clarify this, please.

@mica123

Kindly share the URL of your site or screenshot explaining what you want.

I’ve sorted this out by moving this .footer-layouts copyright by moving it to the left – your default is to display it on the right (see screenshot https://ibb.co/HCRgrmM).

I also had to reposition it to be higher – your CSS moved it too low at the bottom compared to what it was before. Also, the copyright info is not clickable any more.

The copyright text is by default clickable in Responsive Theme. Can you please confirm that you haven’t made any customization in the child theme.

The feature to change the position of copyright text, is currently not available in the theme.
