Adding Footer Widgets

When constructing a footer using the Global Options method, the footer is a widgetized area that can display widgets in 1-6 columns. Widgets add various content or features to your site. They can be added, removed, and rearranged in the Appearance > Widgets tab on your WordPress admin panel.
You can also add the Widget Element or Widget Area Element directly to Footers built in Avada Layouts. For more details on how to create a custom Footer Layout, see the How To Build A Custom Footer doc.
How To Add Widgets To The FooterStep 1 – First, make sure that you』ve enabled footer widgets on your site. To do this, navigate to the Appearance > Options > Footer panel and ensure the 『Footer Widgets』 option is set to On. Choose how many columns (1-6) you need to display with the 『Number Of Footer Columns』 option.
Step 2 – Once you』ve enabled footer widgets, navigate to Appearance > Widgets to access the widgets and footer widget areas.
Step 3 – You will see a 『Footer Widget X』 area on the right hand side for matching the number footer columns (1-6) selected in the Avada Global Options.
Step 4 – On the left hand side are your widgets, simply drag and drop the widgets you want from the left side into the 『Footer Widget』 areas on the right side.

Footer Parallax Options

There are a range of parallax options available for the footer area in Avada. These can be found at Options > Footer > Footer Special Effects. Read on for an explanation of each one.
NOTE. If you are building your Footer using Avada Layouts, the Footer Special Effects can be found in the Layout Section options.Footer Parallax EffectThis option creates a fixed footer, with a parallax scrolling effect. The footer is fixed at the bottom of the viewport, and it reveals itself as you scroll down and the end of the page content is reached. You can see this effect in the footer on several of the demos, including the Nightclub & Landscaper demos.
Parallax Background ImageThis option creates a normal footer, with parallax settings for the footer background image. So as you scroll down to the footer, the background image (set in Footer > Footer Background Image) is fixed and does not scroll with the footer. You can see an example of this in the footer of the Gallerie demo.
Sticky FooterThe Sticky Footer option pins the footer to the bottom of the viewport on pages where there is minimal content. This stops the footer from sitting halfway up the viewport on such pages. On longer pages, it acts like a normal footer. IMPORTANT: This will not work properly when using a Left or Right Side Header layout and the side header is larger than the viewport.
Sticky Footer and Parallax Background ImageThis is the same as the Sticky Footer Option, with the added addition of a parallax (fixed) background image in the footer.

How To Create A Footer in Avada

The Footer is an important part of a website page. It』s typically on every page of the site, and it』s a good place to add commonly needed information, such as opening hours, common links, etc.
It will greatly depend on your site as to what』s the best content for your footer, but in this document, we will show you the two ways of creating a footer in Avada – the recommended method, of Building a Custom Footer with Avada Layouts, or the old method of using the Avada Footer Options to configure the footer area, and then adding widgets to populate it.,Building A Custom Footer With Avada LayoutsWith Avada Layouts (Avada 6.2 and up) you can create completely custom layouts for your website, including Custom Footers. The main advantage of this is that you can use the full power of the Avada Builder to create your footer, and no longer be limited by any constraints of the Avada Global Options. With Avada Layouts, you can even have multiple footers on your site. You might have a default footer, but then have a Custom Footer for a particular Custom post Type, Category, or even single page. Virtually anything is possible.

Building A Footer Using The Avada Footer OptionsThis is the original way to build a footer, before the advent of Avada Layouts. If you want a simple footer, with 1 to 6 columns, populated by widgets, then this is an easy method to use.
It』s a two-step process. Firstly, you head to the Footer section of the Avada Options (Options > Footer) and begin by configuring the footer area. See the Footer Options doc for specifics on all options available for the footer, but basically, you start by deciding how many columns you want in your footer, and then you configure the footer area with the Footer Content, Footer Background Image, and Footer Styling tabs.
The second part of the process is to populate the footer. This is achieved through the use of Widgets. See the Widgets section of the Docs for more info on this, but basically, widgets are small blocks that can contain a variety of content, and you can create your footer by populating widgets, and then adding them into the predefined Footer Widget Areas, found under Appearance > Widgets, from the WordPress dashboard.
See below for an example of a basic footer built using the theme options for the Taxi Demo. You can also see a walkthrough of the process of configuring the footer via the global options in the following video.
