creating footer menu

Hi there,

Give this a shot:

Let me know if this helps :)

I had to install this css code as you suggested when I set up the website..

.home .site {
    display: none;
}

now when I try to add the footer menu, it's showing up vertically, not horizontally...

That CSS doesn't effect the footer menu.

You currently have a menu added in footer widget area, have you tried the footer bar widget area?

thank you, now how do I center it?

Try this CSS:

.footer-bar-align-right .footer-bar {
    float: none;
    text-align: center;
}

thank you

No problem :)
