    Hello everyone,
    if you go to my test site ( test.sneakerfiles.com ) you see the footer is centered nicely. I tried to do this for the footer widget area but no matter what I do, the widget area is still longer than the footer. Is there a way to make them the same exact size?

    Also, I wanted to separate the footer and the footer widget area by light dashes, does anyone know how to achieve this?

    Thank you so much in advance!

    If you want the footer to be the same width as the rest of the site change the width under .site-footer from 1080 to 1152.

    If you want the footer widgets to be the same width as the footer (1080px) then change the padding from 36px 36px 0 to 36px 0 0 under .footer-widgets or add box-sizing: border-box; to .footer-widgets

    That worked! Thank you very much.

    By chance do you know how to have the footer and footer widget area connect/bring together?
