How to Add a Narrow Strip Below the Footer in Squarespace

I’ve seen this question come up a few times: How do I add a narrow strip below the footer in Squarespace?

People usually think you need a special CSS code snippet to make this happen, but you actually don’t!


In this post, I teach you how to add a narrow strip below the footer in Squarespace where you can add your copyright info, phone number, social links, or whatever the heck you want!

 
 

How to Add a Narrow Strip Below the Footer in Squarespace

  1. In the editor, select ‘Edit site footer’

  2. Select ‘Add section’ and select any footer section

  3. Select ‘Edit section’ and de-select ‘Fill screen’

  4. Adjust the width to your liking and choose whatever color theme you want

  5. If you want to add copyright info, select ‘Option-G’ on your Mac (On Windows, it’s Ctrl+Alt+C or Alt+0169—at least this is what Google tells me)

  6. Basically, get it looking however you like, select ‘Edit section,’ and select the down arrow ↓

Ta-da! Now you have a narrow strip below your footer!


One problem though…it’s practically impossible to do anything using the ‘Edit section’ prompt, even to delete it!


Fear not! Scroll down and keep reading for another tip.
