Footers¶
Flexoraa ships four footers. You do not add one to a page. You pick one for the whole site, one for landing pages, and override either on a single page when you need to.
This page explains that model. For what each footer looks like and every field it has, see its own page.
The four footers¶
| Footer | Family | What it renders |
|---|---|---|
| Footer - Classic | site pages | brand block beside navigation link columns, then a bottom bar |
| Footer - Newsletter led | site pages | the same, with a signup form on top |
| LP Footer - Minimal | landing pages | two rows split to their edges, with an optional divider |
| LP Footer - Centered Nav | landing pages | a centred stack: logo, links, divider, copyright |
They come in two families. The site page footers carry navigation, because a visitor on a site page is expected to go somewhere else. The landing page footers deliberately do not, because a landing page should close rather than offer a way off it.
How a page picks its footer¶
Three things decide it, in order.
1. The template decides the family.
A page built from a landing page template gets the landing page footer. Everything else gets the site page footer. Nothing to set: it follows from the template you chose when you created the page.
2. Theme Settings decides which one in that family.
Theme Settings › Website footer
Which footer do you want as default footer? Classic | Newsletter led
Which footer do you want on landing pages? Minimal | Centered Nav
Two radios, set once, applying to every page of that type.
3. A single page can override both.
Header and footer settings › Footer for this page
Default (set in Theme Settings) ← where every page starts
Footer - Classic
Footer - Newsletter led
LP Footer - Minimal
LP Footer - Centered Nav
Naming a footer here overrides the family and the theme choice, so a landing page can carry the full site footer and a site page can carry a light one.
Leave it on Default unless you mean it
A page on Default keeps following Theme Settings forever. Pin a real footer and that page stops responding to theme changes, which is only what you want for a genuine exception.
Worked examples¶
The common case. One setting, no per page work.
- Theme Settings › Website footer › Which footer do you want as default footer? = Footer - Classic
- Done. Every site page uses it.
Site pages keep full navigation, landing pages close cleanly.
- Which footer do you want as default footer? = Footer - Classic
- Which footer do you want on landing pages? = LP Footer - Minimal
- Build landing pages from a landing page template and they pick it up automatically.
A landing page that is really a content page and should link onward.
- Open that page.
- Header and footer settings › Footer for this page = Footer - Classic
- Every other landing page is unaffected.
You want to see Newsletter led filled in before committing the site to it.
- Open the global footer editor from any page.
- Fill in Footer - Newsletter led there, even though it is not active.
- When it looks right, flip the Theme Settings radio.
Editing footer content¶
Footer content is global. Editing it once changes it everywhere, which is the point: a copyright line or a legal link should not be edited page by page.
To reach it, click into the footer area on any page and choose Edit global content.
The editor shows all four footers
In the global footer editor you will see every footer module listed, not just the active one. That is deliberate. It is the only way to fill in a footer before switching to it, and on a real page exactly one renders.
Footers do not share content
Each footer stores its own content. Filling in Footer - Classic does not fill in Footer - Newsletter led, and switching between them shows an empty footer until you fill the new one in. Set up the one you intend to use, and only fill a second if you are genuinely comparing.
What sits above and below the footer¶
Both footer families have drag and drop areas above and below them, so you can add anything the footer module itself does not offer, a CTA band or a partner logo strip for instance.
Site page footers and landing page footers have separate drop areas. Something added above the site footer does not appear above the landing page footer. That is intentional: the two page types rarely want the same extras.
Choosing between the four¶
| If you want | Use |
|---|---|
| The standard site footer with navigation | Footer - Classic |
| To grow a mailing list from every page | Footer - Newsletter led |
| A light close for landing pages, logo and links on one line | LP Footer - Minimal |
| A light close, symmetrical and centred | LP Footer - Centered Nav |
| A different footer on one page only | any of them, via Header and footer settings |
Common questions¶
Why can I not find the footer in the Add module panel?
Footers are not page modules. They are chosen in Theme Settings and edited as global content. Nothing to drag.
I switched footers and mine is empty.
Expected. Each footer stores its own content. Open the global footer editor and fill in the one you switched to.
I changed Theme Settings and one page did not update.
That page has an override. Open it, and set Header and footer settings › Footer for this page back to Default.
Can I have more than four footers?
Not without editing the theme. The four are wired into the templates; adding a fifth means adding the module, two choice fields and the routing. That is developer work, not a setting.
My landing page shows the site footer.
It was probably built from a site page template. HubSpot decides page type when the page is created, but the footer follows the template. Either rebuild it from a landing page template, or set Footer for this page on that page.
