How can I rearrange items in my website footer?

[Anonymous]

Hi, i want to move the social media symbols, the subscribe newsletter and the pay symbols like the picture shows.

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous, can you provide a link to your website along with the name of the theme you are using? This may be something you can handle in the settings of your theme.

Hi, im using the studio theme. My website is not active yet.

Kind Regards. 🙂

I did some quick testing and unfortunately the theme settings for that theme do not provide a way to create that specific layout, so it would need to be handled by a combination of updating theme files (.liquid) and adding css. If you are comfortable editing theme files I can send over the changes that need to be made.

Kind Regards.

Hi @Anonymous, below I included the entire contents of the updated footer.liquid and the css to use to update the layout. I would highly recommend working on a copy of your current theme in case things do not go as planned.  There are 3 steps involved to make this update:

1. Replace the contents of footer.liquid with the code below. NOTE: This is from a new copy of the Studio theme. If you have made any customizations to the footer file they will be erased when you replace it with this code. In that case I can send you the specific lines of code to update so let me know on that.

2. Add the following CSS to the Custom CSS field of the Footer section (Customize theme > Footer > Footer section)

@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
  .footer__content-bottom-wrapper {
    align-items: center;
  }
  .footer__content-top {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: flex-end;
  }
  .list-social {
    width: 100%;
    justify-content: flex-start;
  }
}

3. Update Footer settings. Your settings may be different then mine so this may take some back and forth to get right. Notice how I have turned off the Email Signup section (bottom of left sidebar) and turned on the Show email signup checkbox in the Footer section below it. 

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you so much.

The first code worked and the social media icons are now where they should be, however I would like to have them in a row like in the picture and I would like to have the bar above them gone. unfortunately the second code didn't work. Did I do that correctly? (screenshot)

I would also like the search bar to be larger and not so that I have to press the magnifying glass for the search bar to open like this:

(thats how it is rn)

(thats how i want it)

Thank you.

Kind Regards 🙂

For Step #2, the css needed to be pasted in the Custom CSS section, instead of  customer.css. 

For step #3, in the footer area of the customize settings, the Email Signup block needs to be turned off, and the other email form needs to be on inside the Footer block. I created a quick walkthrough below t help clarify.

Hello Tim,

Thank you for providing this code and the short video to explain how to turn off the email sign-up. I followed your instructions carefully but the issue persists. I would like to move the email subscripition to align with the footer. I attach two pictures. Number 1 shows how I want the footer to look. Number 2 shows how the footer looks after copying the code you provided above. It would be great if you can advise.
