**1. Heading**

Text for the heading in the footer - you can use your site name for example - Max length 25 characters

**3. Link sections**

Add link sections. The ideal number of sections is six. One item per line in this order: Text, title  
Text: what appears on in the footer  
Title: the text that appears when the item is hovered.

 ![5](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/3/e3994f46d259a8b26948823a3ca20ee381a529e7.png)

**4. Links**

Add links to link sections. One item per line in this order:  
Parent, text, URL, target, title  
It is a good idea to keep the number of links under each section similar  
Parent: the name of the parent section which this link shows under. Use the `text` value from the list above  
Text: the text that shows for this link  
URL: the path this item links to. You can use relative paths as well.  
Target: Choose whether this item will open in a new tab or in the same tab. Use blank to open the link in a new tab, or use self to open it in the same tab.  
Title: the text that shows when the link is hovered.

**5. Small links**

You can add small links at the bottom of the footer like Terms of Service and Privacy. One item per line in this order:  
Text, URL, target  
Text: The text that shows for the small link  
URL: The path of the link  
Target: Use blank to open the link in a new tab and use self to open it in the same tab

Enter the social links you’d like to add to the footer in this format:  
provider, title, URL, target  
Provider: is the name of the provider like Facebook or Twitter  
Title: The text that shows when the link is hovered  
URL: The path you’d like the link to have  
Target: Use blank to open the link in a new tab and use self to open it in the same tab

### Notes

1. I left the placeholder items as defaults for the component so you can easily see what your settings should look like.

2. This component will use your theme’s color scheme to generate the colors used for the elements in it. but all elements have unique classes added to them in case you want to override something.

3. Since this component uses theme settings, it means that I can update it in the future to either fix or improve it and the data you enter would not be lost 🎉
