Hey Chuck,
If you can add widgets to the footer area of your site, why not just add an “Image” widget and a “Navigation Menu” widget?
Go to: Appearance > Widgets and add an Image widget to your Footer widget area. Then, within the setting for that widget, you can either upload a new image, or select an existing image from your Media Library.
Likewise, you can add the Navigation Menu widget to your Footer widget area. Then, either create a custom menu just for the footer of your site (like we've done on this site), or select an existing menu to display in the widget.
Hope this helps!
Hi Shawn,
Guess I should have said a footer banner. I’d like it to be full width. I did add a photo and the menu. They are clustered in the bottom left corner of the website. The site that I work on for YWCA Delaware does allow for a full banner. I’m hoping to duplicate that experience. Thanks again. Chuck

replied 6 years ago Thanks for providing the additional clarification, Cliff. You’re right… adding a full-width image to the footer of your site is a function of the theme. There’s not a default method in WordPress for adding full-width images to the footer, and I’m not aware of any third-party plugins that will do this, either… because the functionality would vary wildly, depending on the theme you’ve selected. That’s why it’s more likely a function of the theme itself.
A modern theme like Astra would handle this just fine.
Hope this helps!
Thanks Shawn. It does indeed help. I’ll take a look at Astra for future projects.
