Adjusting the footer width of my website

  • Hello everyone!

    First of all, happy new year to all of you. ??

    Secondly, I have a question that I truly need help with. I run a professional website, which covers PlayStation news, features, previews, and reviews.

    But I have a problem. I absolutely love the boxed layout of my website (1170px in width). But the footer area doesn’t want to play along. I had someone with experience look at my codes, and he told me he couldn’t find anything to adjust the width. I also checked the theme settings, and the option is nowhere to be found either. The person who tried to help me said I should contact the person who made the theme, so I did. But after 2 weeks, he still hasn’t replied to me. So I was hoping that someone here could help me with this.

    If anyone has a solution to my problem, could you please post what I need to do in easy steps, because “messing with codes” is something that is kind of new to me.

    So in short: I want my footer area to be 1170px and I need to know how I can do it, since the theme itself probably doesn’t support it.

    Thank you for reading and your time. I really hope you can help me with this, because as it is now, it doesn’t look good to me.

    With kind regards,

    Davy

  • First, we are all volunteers here, for WordPress questions. Theme questions are best answered by the theme author and users of that theme. (Each theme in the WordPress repository has its own support forum.)

    Second, I looked at your site and can’t see anything wrong with it. I tried it at different window sizes, and the footer always stayed within the size that the rest was in. The comment policy is full width, however.
    You can’t fix what isn’t broken…

    Oh sorry if I posted this in te wrong section.

    Like I said in my previous post though, the author of that theme is not answering my questions. His last post was in 2016 on his original website, so I feel that he is not there anymore.

    However, I think you misunderstood me. ?? The width of my footer is 100% in width (the background). It fills up the entire screen. While the rest of the layout is “boxed”.
    I want my footer to be aligned with the boxed format, but I have no clue how to do it.

    So it isn’t broken, but I just want it tweaked a little so that it matches the rest of my layout. ??

    Thank you for your time answering my post though, and apologies for putting the question in here.

    try to add this CSS, possibly via the ‘Additional CSS’ of the ‘Appearance -Customize’ section in the dashboard:

    section#page-footer {
    max-width: 1170px;
    display:  block;
    margin: auto;
}

section#page-footer .row {
    max-width: 100%;
}

    only works in larger screens, the footer goes fullwidth for any screens smaller 1170px; fixing this would need adding @media queries to the CSS…
