WordPress Footer Links/ Sticky Footer?

[robinq21]

Hello all,

I am having a bit of an issue with my wordpress site. I run a theme called Big Feature, and one of the widgets is called “Footer Links”, try as I might, I am struggling to change the footer font size.

I have been looking into a number of things, and I would like to create a custom footer, to enable me to have various different columns/ links from it etc..

My website is http://www.summitretreats.com, and the bit im concerned with is the area with “our resorts”, “popular pages” etc..

As you can probably tell by the mannor I explain my problem, web design etc is very new to me, so any answers in laymans terms would be very much appreciated..

Thanks in advance.

What would you like to change about it? What have you tried so far? Are you comfortable with editing your theme’s CSS?

I feel it is currently a little cumbersome and too large… Dominates the page a little too much, and looks a little amateurish… I have so far explored the theme settings thoroughly, but to no avail, and tried changing various font size settings in the footer.php and style.php pages in the editor.. (I have managed to change the size of the sidebar which appears on some pages of the site, but not as yet the footer links)..

The reason I question a sticky footer, and mention a custom built one may work better, is to achieve a look a couple of my competitors have achieved – which can be seen either on http://www.oxfordski.com, or http://www.blueandwhitelocations.com.. The second one, I particularly like the social media bar, but this is perhaps a different thing altogether..

I am relatively comfortable having a go at changing the themes CSS, if I know how to change it back (and can undo any issues that arise)

Many thanks again..

If you’re comfortable making changes to the CSS, it should be as simple as adding this:

#footer-widgets .widget_text {
font-size: 12px;
}
