Footer Group
Group footer blocks into a column or row to build the sections of your footer.
The Footer Group block is a container you drop other footer blocks into, then arrange as a column or a row. Place several side by side to build a multi-column footer.
Built for the footer
Add Footer Group inside your footer. It is grouped under Layout in the add-block list.
What you can put inside a Footer Group
A Footer Group holds the footer-oriented blocks plus a curated set of small content blocks:
- Address, Copyright, and Legal Links
- Social Links, Newsletter, and Featured People
- Land Acknowledgement, Charity Registration, and Sponsors
- Heading, Text, and Navigation
- Button, Button Links, Logo, Media, and Opening Hours
- A Divider, and a Group for nesting smaller blocks together
Open the Blocks list inside the Footer Group to add, reorder, or remove its contents, the same way you build the rest of the page.
Newsletter inside a Footer Group
A Newsletter placed inside a Footer Group uses the slimmer inline signup form, with fewer layout options than the standalone version.
Arranging the contents
The arrangement lives on the Footer Group's Layout tab.
Direction decides whether the contents stack or sit side by side:
- Vertical (default) stacks them top to bottom — the usual choice for a single footer column.
- Horizontal lays them out in a row, left to right.
When Direction is Horizontal, a Vertical on Mobile toggle, on by default, controls whether the row collapses back into a stack on phones.
Alignment controls how the contents line up along the direction you chose: Left (default), Center, Right, or Space Between.
Position controls how the contents line up across the other axis: Top (default), Center, Bottom, or Space Between.
Gap sets the space between items, from 0 to 120px in steps of 4. The default is 24px.
Width offers Full Width, Page (default), Narrow, and Custom. Most footer columns use the default; Custom reveals a slider when you need an exact width.
Shared controls
The Footer Group uses the standard block controls for background, borders, spacing, and colour. Padding and margin both start at 0, so the group sits flush by default — the surrounding footer handles the outer spacing.
- Layout controls — width, direction, alignment, position, and gap.
- Background and overlay — add a background image or colour, an overlay, borders, and corner rounding.
- Spacing and padding — add padding and margin around the group.
- Colour scheme in blocks — set the colour scheme for the contents.
Example: a three-column footer
Add three Footer Groups
In your footer, add three Footer Group blocks side by side. Each one becomes a column.
Fill each column
Open the first group's Blocks list and add an Address. In the second, add a Heading and a Navigation for a links column. In the third, add a Newsletter signup.
Tidy the spacing
On each group's Layout tab, leave Direction as Vertical so its contents stack, and adjust Gap to taste. Add a Copyright line below the three columns to finish the footer.
