    Hi,

    Questions about the Footer:

    1) I'd like to have a wider footer area, like the one in your demo (pic 1) with the sign-up form in it. I can't figure out how to get it that way. When I add Widgets, the go above my existing footer and not into the grey.

    I'd really like a footer similar to pic 2.

    Also, just on the Shop pages, I'd like the padding above the footer to be bigger. 

    2) Footer Sign-up form. I read the documentation and have Mailchimp installed and activated. I think things have changed since you first built the theme and MailChimp is now linked to WooCommerce which overrides the plugin you recommend and I can't access the form or the your code to copy & paste it. 

    Thank you. I'll stop bugging you soon.

    Hi,

    1/ For config the Footer, here is all points you need attention:

    a) You can select layout for your Footer Widgets Area via Customize > Footer Options > Footer Widget Area Columns Layout

    b) You can change background for your Footer Widgets area via Customize > Colors for Footer.

    c) You can go to Appearance > Widgets > drag & drop widgets as you want to display on the footer to "Footer Column #1", "Footer Column #2", "Footer Column #3", "Footer Column #4"

    For adjust padding about the footer on shop page - here is your shop page - where is the space you want to increase ?

    2/ No - this issue caused by you didn't install the plugin "Mailchimp for WordPress" - check this image

    Now, please go to Appearance > Install Plugins > install & activate this plugin.

    Best Regards,

    Thanks so much. 

    For my Shop page, I'd like more white space between the top of the footer area and the images - maybe 150px. I find the footer section is too close to the images and takes away from them.

    I have one other question re: the Shop section. Is it at all possible, on the individual category pages, to add another button or line of text above the 'Add to Cart' button. https://www.bluechiselstudio.com/product-category/other-prints/

    I'd like some way to let people know they can get to the individual product pages from the images on the Category pages.

    ----

    Regarding the Mailchimp issue: I did install the 'Mailchimp for Wordpress' plugin.  But it didn't show up in the sidebar on my admin page at all. I think because I already have Mailchimp synched with WooCommerce (Mailchimp for WooCommerce - extension) they clash. 

    I found info online today about getting code for a Mailchimp form here: https://mailchimp.com/help/add-a-signup-form-to-your-website/

    I generated the code and managed to get it into the footer section as random html code and it seems to be working although it is different than the one you show in your Documentation. So I think that's OK.

    ---

    I configured the footer to almost what I want - not sure what I was doing wrong before but I'm happy now.

    Hi,

    1/ Please try add more this code to Customize > Custom CSS to do that:

    @media only screen and (min-width: 768px){
    body.post-type-archive-product.woocommerce-page .clear-footer{ margin-bottom: 80px; }
    }
    

    Change value 80 to value as you want.

    2/ Unfortunately, Woocommerce doesn't allow to do that and the theme doesn't exist any hook to do that also..

    3/ Please check guide here to know how to setup Mailchimp.

    Please use widget "Mailchimp for WordPress" - don't need for use generate the code from Mailchimp.


    Best Regards,

    PenciDesign
