Hi David,
I would like to ask for your help with the Dispatch theme, please. I saw that you developed Dispatch: an awesome-looking theme, and I love this magazine style. Only discovered it recently.
I have placed the secondary menu in the footer of the Dispatch template (by changing the "secondary navigation" hook to "generate footer"). And I hope that this hook change is safe to do (and will not break your original CSS) because I saw another Dispatch theme user was doing this change before here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/secondary-menu-footer-area/
The footer is displayed across the entire site, but I was not able to make the footer bar full width for the page, unfortunately.
How could I please make the footer full page width and add the "Copyright 2022 ... Reserved" text to the left, so it is all on the same footer bar.
Thanks a lot!
Hi there,
Try adding a menu in the footer bar widget area instead:

The result can be seen in the footer of our Grill template:

Let me know if this helps :)
Hi Leo,
I have added the menu in the footer bar widget area.
My only remaining query is the footer bar width which is not full page wide. (Similarly to the Header bar).
It is probably controlled by the original CSS in the Dispatch theme, because in the customizer -> layout -> footer -> footer width: the setting is on "Full", similarly to the header setting, which is also on "Full"
How could I change the bars to full width please, removing the left and right white gaps?
Thanks!
Try removing this CSS in Additional CSS field in the customizer:
@media (min-width: 769px) {
body {
margin: 0 30px;
}
}Removing the CSS solved it.
Thank you, Leo!
No problem :)
