Make footer full-width Lifestyle Pro

[senordeer]

Howdy:

I have added:

remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' ); 
add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_do_footer' );

to functions.php to try to move the site footer outside of the main wrap (I want the footer to be full-width). This worked fine when I moved the header and primary nav to make full-width, but I'm confused on the footer. I now see the default theme footer info below the wrap, but I can't figure out how to style it (add a background color, etc.).

Additionally and I know Genesis Simple Hooks is not a Studiopress thing, but I have custom info in the genesis_footer hook using GSH, so that info is appearing in the green footer box, plus the default creds are appearing below. So ideally what I would like to do is to move the whole green box outside the wrap so it appears full-width below the content. Any help appreciated thx!

You missed a couple of things. To move the footer outside of the site container, you need to use the following code:

//* Reposition the footer widgets
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );
add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );

//* Reposition the footer
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 15 );
add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 11 );
add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_do_footer', 12 );
add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 13 );

What you did was move the content of the footer, but not the markup. That's why the content is sitting out there by itself.

Hey Victor awesome and thank you for the prompt response.

That works fine, I can work on styling the widgets no prob. One more question, and it's okay if you can't answer this because it's really about Genesis Simple Hooks, but I have some custom content in the genesis_footer hook in GSH, it's now appearing above the widget area (it's some creds and social media icons), on older themes I have been able to use GSH to customize the footer output, but clearly it's not working here, should I just use Genesis Simple Edits? Or do you have a suggestion as to the best way to customize footer output now that it has moved?

Totally okay if this is outside the realm here I realize these are plugins and not Studiopress products, thanks!
