How to Create Custom Footer in GeneratePress Using GenerateBlocks
In this tutorial, we are going to create a custom footer in the GeneratePress theme with the help of GenerateBlocks. By default, GeneratePress provides a simple footer layout, but if you want to design a professional and fully customized footer, GenerateBlocks makes the process much easier. With the block-based approach, you can build a flexible and responsive footer without writing complex code.
GeneratePress is one of the most popular lightweight WordPress themes known for its speed, performance, and customization options. When you combine it with GenerateBlocks, you get powerful design control using simple blocks such as containers, grids, headings, buttons, and icons. This combination allows you to create a modern and professional footer section that perfectly matches your website design.
Before starting, make sure that your website is using the GeneratePress theme and that the GenerateBlocks plugin is installed and activated. GenerateBlocks is a lightweight plugin that adds several advanced blocks to the WordPress block editor, making it easy to design layouts without relying on heavy page builders.
The first step is to open your WordPress dashboard and go to Appearance > Elements. Click on Add New and select the Block element. This option allows you to create custom sections that can be placed anywhere on your website, including the footer area. After selecting the block element, give it a title such as “Custom Footer”.
Now start designing your footer using GenerateBlocks. First, add a Container block, which will act as the main wrapper for your footer content. Inside the container, you can create multiple columns using the Grid block. For example, you can design a four-column footer layout that includes sections such as About, Important Links, Services, and Contact Information.
In the first column, you can add a short description about your website or business. In the second column, add navigation links like Home, About Us, Contact, and Privacy Policy. The third column can be used to display your services or categories. In the fourth column, you can add contact details such as email, phone number, and social media links.
GenerateBlocks also allows you to customize spacing, background colors, typography, and alignment. You can give the footer a dark background color and use light text to create a clean and professional look. Adjust padding and margins so the footer content appears well structured and easy to read.
After finishing the design, scroll down to the Display Rules section. Here you can choose where the footer should appear. Select Entire Site so that your custom footer shows on all pages of your website. Finally, publish the element.
Once published, your custom footer will replace the default GeneratePress footer and display the new design across your website. With GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks, creating a custom footer becomes simple, fast, and fully customizable without the need for additional page builder plugins.
