Footer color

  • jeffw

    said

    The background colour static content (such as footer content) is set in the article editor for that static content.

    The page with the dark grey footer background is your home page and it is using the Home Page Layout. So in Appearance > Layouts look to see what footer the Home Page Layout is referencing. Then look to see what primary content that footer is referencing. Then edit that content to set its background colour. For example…

                        

    The page with the yellow footer background is using a different layout. So look in Appearance > Layouts to see what layout is set for the Page context (under the “Layout & Template Defaults” heading), then inspect that layout to see what footer it is referencing, then inspect that footer to see what primary content it is referencing, then edit that content to set its background colour.

    For footers, normally you would set all your layouts to reference the same footer so that your footer looks the same right across your site.

    Let me know if you need more help with this.

    I think perhaps you might not have the theme set up correctly.

    Salutation has its own layout engine, and it isn’t set-up like most “normal” WordPress themes. It can take a little getting used to if you’ve never come across a layout engine like this before.

    I’ll need to ask a few questions, some of which will depend on answers to other questions. Alas, there is no one thing I can point at and say “change that”.

    In Appearance > Layouts, under the “Layout & Template Defaults” heading, what layout is set for the Home page template?

    And what layout is set for the Pages template?

    For example…

         

    Once you’ve answered these questions I will have more questions that will depend on your answers to these first two questions.

    Thanks.

    Under home page template I have one called ” Home page ”
    Under page I have one called Standard

    The /home/ page has layout Home.

    The /home/ page has layout Home.

    What do you mean by this? Do you mean that you have set one or more of the layout override options in the Layout Options metabox for the article titled ‘home’?

    Please take screenshots of your “Home page” and “Standard” layouts so that I can see how you have set up these layouts.

    (You can upload screenshots to any cloud service and include links to them in your posts.)
