RavRife

Hey Guys,

I have attached a mock-up-image (I did in PowerPoint) of a 4 column/widget footer I'd like to build for a new install on my 1st site using RifePro.

Re Widget 1 - Logo & Text + Social Icons
I plan on using a Text Widget...but how do I insert the social icons here?

Re Widget 2 - Product Categories
I plan on using a Categories widget...but how do i format/bullet the list?

Re Widget 3 - Contact Details | https://rifetheme.com/raven/
1) In your 'raven' demo you have used icons...How do I get the icons here?
2) How do I insert email form?

Re Widget 4 - Location
What widget should i use and how do i get a gogle map to display

Re 'Lower Bar'
How do I include a pages menu, with forward-slash or pipe separator?

Cheers
Rick

Hello Rick

Let's start with one important thing. You can't add more than one widget to each column so you can't create a widget pyramid
I'll try to write what is possible point by point:

1)

"Re Widget 1 - Logo & Text + Social Icons
I plan on using a Text Widget...but how do I insert the social icons here?"

It is not possible right now but we will add a shortcode for that in a few days

2)

Re Widget 2 - Product Categories
I plan on using a Categories widget...but how do i format/bullet the list?

Let us know (here on the forum) when you will be ready with your website and we will try to help you add these bullets. Right now, default widgets do not support custom bullets. In fact, there is no bullets support at all in the WordPress widgets.

2) How do I insert email form?

- If you want to have a widget with icons look for the "Contact Information" widget
- Email form? You mean newsletter?

Re Widget 4 - Location
What widget should i use and how do i get a gogle map to display

This plugin: https://www.wpgmaps.com/ should do the trick

5)

Re 'Lower Bar'
How do I include a pages menu, with forward-slash or pipe separator?

Sorry, there is no option for that. You can only put such a menu in the widget section above. Your idea is cool and we will add it in one of the next update (but remember that it will not happen sooner than about 2-3 weeks)

Thanks Daniel,

Yeah I sort of expected some/most of your answers...in the interim I have been studying how to build header/footers with Elementor and plugin 'Header Footer Elementor' so it look like that's the path I will take....must admit has got me wondering why I even need a premium theme...question for another post.

Is there anything special I must do in RP theme in order to use Eelementor Header/Footer Builder to your knowledge? ...any other recommendations you can make when using Header/Footer builder???

Cheers for your full answers..thanks
Rick
