Horizontal order in first footer widget area

why don’t you use the first three widget areas of the footer widgets?

it would make it easier to try and check css fixes for your idea, if you can have three widgets in the first area; at the moment there is only one widget there.

I tried adding 3 widgets but they would line up one below the other. I’ve added 3 widgets for testing purpose now. It takes up quite a lot of space after the content area which I want to avoid.

#footer-widget-area #first { width: 940px; }
#footer-widget-area #first ul .widget-container { width: 30%; float:left; margin-right:3%; }

if you add something like this to the and of style.css of your theme, the three widgets will be aligned side-by-side.

be aware that this will not work if you try and add widgets to the other footer widget areas.

however, i still do not see the point of making this change to style.css, if you simply could add one widget each to the first three footer widget areas.

Yes, adding one widget to each footer widget area works. I was adding 3 widgets in first footer area. Thanks a lot for your time and help.

By the way, is there any way to add a vertical line break between these three widgets?

i can’t see any good way of adding a vertical line between these areas;

adding ‘border-right:1px solid #111;’ to the style of the individual footer widget areas does not really work, as the areas do not have any padding.

No problem. Thanks a lot anyway.
