Moving Text Sidebar Widget to Footer

    Hello.

    In my initial attempt to place icons in the footer I was instructed to first create a sidebar text widget.

    I’ve included some spacer jpgs, a break, and a dotted border to make it look somewhat presentable.

    However, I’d like to move this section to the footer. Is that possible?

    I’m using Mixfolio.

    Thanks in advance.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Give this a try and see what you think. this moves your widget down to lower right, beside the comment reply box. When the browser window is narrowed to 768px or lower, the widget is moved to the left and appears at the bottom of the other widgets in the sidebar. Make sure and try it out on a tablet, if you have one, in portrait mode to make sure it works as I describe. Narrow and widen your browser window also to see the affect.

    @media screen and (max-width: 768px) {.row .twelve.columns{padding-bottom: 200px;}}
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {#text-5{margin-left: 25px;left: 0;}}

#page {
    position: relative;
}

#text-5 {
    bottom: 0;
    position: absolute;
    width: 287px !important;
}

    Sacredpath,

    the code worked as you instructed. However, I was hoping to create an ever present footer at the bottom of every screen with Copyright, Mixfolio, and the wordpress logo. Is this possible?

    Thanks.

    If a page does not have a sidebar present on it, then the text widget will not show up since there isn’t a sidebar div on that page, and that cannot be added with CSS.

    Links could be added to the top menu, and an image could even be used as a background for those social menu items. I recently did this in a different theme for another user at: http://isabellescurlycakes.wordpress.com/ . For the main page on Mixfolio (or any page without a sidebar), this is the only option I can think of.
