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 β€˜Edit site footer’

  2. Select β€˜Add section’ and select any footer section

  3. Select β€˜Edit section’ and de-select β€˜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 β€˜Option-G’ on your Mac (On Windows, it’s Ctrl+Alt+C or Alt+0169β€”at least this is what Google tells me)

  6. Basically, get it looking however you like, select β€˜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 β€˜Edit section’ prompt, even to delete it!
