footer widgets not responsive

Something is wrong with the footer widgets on one of my websites: https://www.montaukcommunitychurch.org/welcome/
I set the width margins to zero but it seems that even though I am only using 2 footer widgets, the width on the widget areas are not 50% of the screen as I would prefer. The result is that my news scroll gets cut off on the side margins as the screen shrinks. It looks great at 17" and higher but how many devices does that include these days?
Also, I would like the slide show to be not present on the phone size since it does not reduce down to that size very well. Better to have it not there. Can that be called in my css somehow?
Thank you so much. I have been using Generate Press on more than one website for a number of years and appreciate your work.

Hi there,
Are you pertaining to the scrolling text on the footer under MCC news?
If so, try adding this CSS to hide it on mobile.
@media(max-width:768px){
aside#mtphr-dnt-widget-2 {
display: none;
}
}I actually was addressing 2 issues. One was that the scrolling text is cut off at the margins on devices under 1280px. The other issue was disabling the slideshow for phones and you gave me the answer to that and I am grateful. Do you know how to correct the text cut off?
THANKS!

The text is cut-off by a script from the plugin you're using for it. It's assigning 500px which may be too small for the body of text. That's why it's being cut-off.
I'm afraid you'll have to ask the plugin developer on what's the best practice to deal with that.
Great answer! I didn't notice it was defaulting to that. Thank you! Why when I specify a 2 column footer does it place everything to the left? I tried using the second and third footer widgets and it did the same thing...
Hi there,
put the Footer Widgets option back to 3 widgets.
Then move the widgets you have in Footer Widget 2 to Footer Widget 1. And move widgets in Footer Widget 3 to Footer Widget 2.
Once thats done change the Widgets option to 2 widgets.
I followed your directions twice and it is still to the left...
Well, I added a third footer since I could not get 2 to work. Seems to be working fine. Thank you!
Glad to hear you found a solution!
