• I would like to display my social links in the 3rd footer widget, but hooks appear to only let me place them above or below the footer, and not within the footer.

    Is there a way to do this, outside of doing it manually and not using the Customizer?

  • Hi,

    You can try to find a suitable widget plugin.

    Look out for plugin conflict.

    Thanks!

    A quick & dirty CSS solution would be:

    .colophon .social-block {
        width: 40% !important;
        float: right !important;
    }

    Need a link to your site if need further help.

    Thank you both for the replies. Denzel’s solution is the route I’m going to go, but it’s unfortunate that I cannot use the social links functionality that’s built into the theme, merely because I can’t get the output to go in the area I wish.

    Another option:
    Add a text widget to Footer Widget Area Three.
    Add the required html in this text widget. For example

    <a href="https://twitter.com/presscustomizr">Twitter</a>

    Menaka,

    Thank you also. This isn’t a matter of knowing how to get the social links there…it’s a matter of trying to utilize the built-in features of the theme, which I always try to do if at all possible. In this case it looks like I will have to forgo the functionality in the Customizer and use a plugin (or manually add HTML in a text widget) instead.

    matt6303,

    you earlier asked about uploading Excel data daily using WP Excel CMS. The topic is closed but I wonder if you received a response on that? Were you able to use the plugin in that way successfully?

    Thanks for any info you can share.

    Josh,

    No, I never got a reply. That topic unfortunately got closed too soon because someone else jumped in with their own issue. Which might happen here, too, actually.

    In my case, I was putting together a proposal for a client, who in the end decided to go about things a totally different way. So that plugin wasn’t utilized anyway, making the lack of response a non-issue.

    Sorry I can’t be of further help. Good luck!
