Theme

Use the 'Theme' radio buttons to set the footer in 'Light' or 'Dark' theme.
If you change the footer theme, you will also need to make the same theme change to the blocks you used to build the footer. In the example below we had to change the 'Acknowledgement' block. the 'Copyright' block and the 'Social media' block.
This footer demonstrates the 'Dark' theme, using the 'Inline stacked' footer. Logos are inline on desktop devices.

Logo type

Depending on the space within your site's Footer, you can select how the Logo (with one or two images) is shown.
The following table outlines the Logo type using example logos:
Logo type
Final output (desktop)
Final output (mobile)
Default Uses the Primary logo only
Stacked Uses both the Primary & Secondary logos
Inline Desktop uses both Primary & Secondary. Mobile uses Primary only.
Inline stacked Desktop (inline) & mobile (stacked) both use both Primary & Secondary logos.
You can choose to display a background image on your footer. However, keep in mind that a detailed image could create issues with accessibility if the written content in the footer can't be read on top of the image.
To add an image:
  • Paste in the relative link to the image if it's already in the media library, or,
  • Upload a new image using the 'Choose file' button.
