Quick-start guide to changing Divi footer colors, fonts, and typography
Ready to give your Divi footer a fresh look? Here’s a fast, practical way to update colors and fonts using the Theme Customizer, with no code required.
Start in your WordPress dashboard. Head to Appearance > Customize > Footer. You’ll see options for the five main footer areas:
- Layout: Select the layout option to choose the number of columns in your footer.
- Widgets: Choose Widgets to style text, font family, and colors. Use the color picker to match your brand, and adjust font styles for headings and body text. If you want to add or rearrange widgets, visit Appearance > Widgets.
- Footer Elements: This gives you the opportunity to add social media icons.
- Footer Menu: Select Footer Menu to adjust the menu background color, text color, and letter spacing. Make sure your menu is assigned to the footer location in Appearance > Menus.
- Bottom Bar: Open Bottom Bar to update copyright text and style social media icons. Choose icon colors that stand out but still fit your palette.
As you make changes, use the live preview to see how your updates look before publishing. This lets you experiment with combinations and ensures your footer feels cohesive with the rest of your site.
Creating a professional global footer with Divi Theme Builder in under 15 minutes
A Divi global footer is a site-wide template that displays identical footer content across all pages. Building a polished, site-wide footer in Divi is fast and straightforward with the Theme Builder. Here’s how to create a global footer that looks fab and works across your site.
Start by navigating to the WordPress Dashboard and go to Divi > Theme Builder. In the Theme Builder, select Add Global Footer inside the Default Website Template. This ensures your new footer will appear on every page – a major timesaver!
Select Build Global Footer from the dropdown menu to launch the builder interface. The Theme Builder looks similar to the regular Divi Builder but offers extra options for template assignment and dynamic content, so it’s perfect for footers.
Begin by adding a new section. Choose a three- or four-column row layout to organize your footer content.
In the first column, add your logo using an Image module. The next columns can include a Menu module for navigation links, a Text module for contact information, and a Social Media Follow module for icons. Drag and drop these modules into place, adjusting spacing and alignment as needed.
“For a professional touch, add a copyright notice in a separate row or beneath your main content. Use Divi’s dynamic content feature to automatically display the current year, with no manual updates required.”
– Jennifer Rodriguez, Lead Designer at Divi Life
Set background colors and fonts to match your brand, and don’t forget to check how everything looks on mobile. In the builder, switch to tablet or mobile view using the device icons at the top of the page, and adjust stacking, padding, or font sizes for smaller screens. Here’s an example of what you can achieve with just a few clicks of your mouse:
Once you’re happy with your design, select Save and publish your global footer. Your new, professional footer will now appear across your entire site.
