I am having a bit of difficulty trying to create a footer for my website. I originally just put the Meta Plugin in the Footer 1 in Appearance/Widgets, but then had no idea how to edit (remove and add items) to the footer. So now I am trying Genesis Footer Builder, but nothing shows up? Below is a picture of what I created in Footer Builder.
If I can get this to work then I was also wanted to the following items to the Footer (which is what I would have originally added to Meta if I knew how, though also wanted to remove a couple of things like Powered by, etc.):

CSS
.footer-widgets { background-color: #333; clear: both; padding-top: 40px; } .footer-widgets, .footer-widgets a { color: #aaa; } .footer-widgets input { border: 1px solid #333; } .footer-widgets a.button, .footer-widgets a:hover, .footer-widgets a:focus { color: #fff; } .footer-widgets li { border-bottom: 1px dotted #666; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; } .footer-widgets .widget { margin-bottom: 40px; } .footer-widgets p:last-child { margin-bottom: 0; } .footer-widgets-1, .footer-widgets-2, .footer-widgets-3 { width: 340px; } .footer-widgets-1 { margin-right: 60px; } .footer-widgets-1, .footer-widgets-2 { float: left; } .footer-widgets-3 { float: right; }
PHP
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );

It looks like your using a plugin from Genesis Club Pro. If that is correct, I would suspect that the developer, Russell Jamieson, would be able to offer some suggestions.
From what I can see in your screen grab, you could do the same thing with the native Genesis plugin called Genesis Simple Edits which is created by the developers of Genesis itself. More bullet-proof over commercial third-party plugins.
Configuration is dead simple and can configured easily to do what you are after I believe.
Hope that helps.
November 14, 2015 at 6:37 pm #171121sunnypapabearMemberOkay, I am now trying Simple Edits, using some of what I have seen in the references provided. Still nothing. Below is a snapshot from Simple Edits. Again, I want to add some other items (Contacts, About, etc.)
November 14, 2015 at 6:39 pm #171122sunnypapabearMemberI realize I should know all this, but I have been learning how to build this site over the last couple of weeks, starting from a point of remembering a little HTML from long ago and never having edited CSS. This is pretty much the last thing I have to do to finish the website.

It looks like you got it. Is that correct?
