Global Footer Settings

FAQ

Setup Instructions

Page Editor → POWER Footer

POWER Footer → Global Content

Once you have accessed the global module, you will have the choice to set up 4 variations for the footer.

We recommend configuring the footer for all page types at the beginning, even if you don't plan on using one of them (i.e. blog or landing pages) so that you have a consistent starting point if anything changes.

It is also possible to override the default footer for an individual page, so an unused footer type could be styled for this situation.

Footer Types for POWER Theme

• PAGE Footer is the default for website pages
• LANDING PAGE Footer is the default for landing pages
• BLOG Footer is the default for the Blog Listing and Blog Post templates
• SYSTEM PAGE Footer is the default for the 404, 500, and Search templates

While Subscription templates are system pages and they typically use the LANDING PAGE Footer, some accounts are using the PAGE Footer for these pages with no clear explanation from HubSpot.

Each footer type includes the option to include a Copyright Bar.

Settings → Account Defaults → Branding → Company Info

A Legal Notice is included in the Footer and consists of your legal menu (Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, etc.), the Year and Company Name.

Publishing the Global Footer

When you're ready to publish the Global Footer, you'll click the orange Publish to X Assets button in the upper right corner. The number of assets corresponds to the total number of assets using this specific child theme that contains any of the footer types.

It is important to note that if you make a change to the BLOG Footer, you'll have to publish the footer to ALL assets, not just the blog assets. This is true for each footer Type, whether you are configuring every footer or making a change to an individual setting - until you Publish to X Assets, your changes will not be visible on your preview pages and live site.

Module Options

There are some settings that are only visible based on previous choices, if you do not see the option available, it does not work with the layout or selections you've already made.

These settings are available for each Footer Type. We recommend opening a second browser window once you have the PAGE Footer configured to make it easier to apply the same settings for the other footer types and modify as needed.

POWER Footer → Logo

The footer uses the same pre-configured global logo that you added when setting up the header.

Option to Override default logo and Override Logo Sizes.

Option to Override Logo Link allows you to replace the preconfigured link from the global HubSpot settings.

POWER Footer → Link Type

Configure the Link Text and Link To if using Layout → Footer Simple (this setting won't be visible until you change the layout).

Options for Link To are: External, Content, File, Email Address, and Blog.

Option to Use CTA instead if you would like to use a CTA, you'll need to add the class "pwr-link" in the CTA settings, learn more about setting up CTAs for POWER theme.

POWER Footer → Statement

The Statement allows you to include a company description in the Footer when using the Footer Full layout.

The footer includes 3 pre-configured social icons for Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

Make sure you update the URL to your social accounts or remove ours. :)
