Step 3: Paste footer into ShortPoint Generator

Give a name to your footer element, and be sure to select Footer as type.

After this, you can paste your footer into the content area below. Or, alternatively, you can build your own footer right here. Do not forget to save your changes.

Preview and edit footer in ShortPoint Generator

If you want to make some changes to your footer, go to ShortPoint Dashboard and open Generator. You can preview your footer and edit it as well. Just click the Edit button and do whatever you want. For example, I want the first column to be the last.

Step 4: Add footer using ShortPoint Theme Builder

From the ShortPoint Dashboard, select Theme Builder, then click Customize my site.

In the Theme Builder navigation, select Footer, then select General Layout. 

In the Select Footer drop-down, you can select the footer you created in Generator.

Step 8: Publish your changes

When you finish, click the Publish button in Theme Builder. That's it! Your awesome footer now is on every page of your site.
