The footer is located at the bottom of the site.

Info

If you last edited the footer before 31 May, it may look different than expected when you edit it. This is because we updated our editor.

The look of a footer used to be determined by settings located in two different places: in the Theme Editor and in the editor on your site. This used to be the outdated Layout Editor, which is now replaced by the Page Builder. Now you conveniently control all settings right in the Page Builder.

Because we moved the settings from the Theme Editor into the Page Builder, the footer may look differently than expected at first. It’s easy to change the design in the Page Builder before publishing the page. Additionally, the design may look different than expected if you use custom CSS on the site or HTML modules in the footer.
