Footer columns not working

Hi @mibtg,

The post you mentioned is for the Twenty Twenty theme.

If you’re using the Twenty Twenty-One theme, you can change the widget columns inside Customizer > Twentig Options > Footer > Footer Widgets. The widgets will automatically display in multiple rows if their number exceeds the number of columns.

If you enjoy Twentig, please leave a review. It would really help me out ??

Yes, I am using the twenty twenty-one theme. Well, I am a rookie, so I do not understand what you mean. I see in the customizer/ twentig options / footer that near the bottom in the footer Widgets area that I can select the number of columns and can set the Footer Widget Width.

Please explain what these are supposed to do.
I expect that if I set the columns = 2 that I will have 2 columns to place widgets on my footer.

If you set columns = 2, the widgets will be displayed in 2 columns, but you still have only one area (Customizer > Widgets > Footer) to place the widgets. Place all your widgets in the Footer area, and they will automatically be displayed in the 2 columns layout you’ve selected.

Understood. I believe my confusion is around “What is the footer”.

I have created in Appearance/Customize/Menus a second menu called “footer Menu” and have that selected as the secondary menu (which is appearing at the bottom of my pages). All of the customize/widgets/footer stuff is getting located above that secondary menu. What I want is those customize/widgets/footer to be part of the secondary menu in columns.
Not sure how to do that?

Also when I select “twentig Options/footer/ Display site logo. I goes right to the bottom of the page (where I call this as the footer) and there is a line above it.

I want from left to right in what I call the footer in 3 columns: my site logo, the social media links as icons, the “Pages widget”, then below that in row 2 the copyright symbol and year. So I want to choose 3 columns thus forcing the copyright (the 4th item) to go below.

All working now, thank you
