Hello
The theme has two sections to the footer- one with three columns and one with the social icons and copyright info. I would like just one but not sure how to do it. I would like one footer with three columns. The centre one to show the social icons and the copyright info and text in the other two. Please can you explain how I can do this?
Thank you!

Hello,
Apologies, but there is no feature for what you’re asking and will be a customization you’ll need to make from your child theme. One approach you could do is to essentially to (1) remove the footer copyright area, and then (2) put some sort of custom HTML that you come up with for displaying some kind of copyright information social icons in raw content in the middle column.
(1) You could hide the footer copyright with CSS from your child theme’s style.css, or unhook it from your child theme’s functions.php.
remove_action('themeblvd_footer_sub_content', 'denali_footer_sub_content');(2) There’s a lot of things you could do here. I’d think the easiest would be just to come up with some HTML that accomplishes what you want, and put it in the raw text input in the middle column. Remember, when using the theme, you’ve got full FontAwesome, to utilize for manually displaying icons:

Alternatively, you could make that middle column have with a widget area. I’m sure you could find a third-party widget plugins out there that provide some sort of social icons. You could combine that with a maybe a text widget that displays the copyright line.
These are all just ideas to hopefully lead you in the direction you want, but ultimately, you’ll need to decide what’s going to work best for you.
Yeah, maybe hold off on trying to do things outside of the direct features of the theme for now. Then later as you get a better handle on everything, you can circle back to this one. 😉
