Let me show you step-by-step how you can customize your Divi footer to fit your brand look & feel.

Before you add elements to your Divi footer, you need to decide on your footer layout. The main section of your Divi footer is the most important. You can choose one of the 20-footer layouts offered by the Divi Theme. You need to choose the layout that will fit in with the elements you want to add to your website footer.

To select a layout, go to the theme customizer (Appearance -> Customize). On the theme customizer page, click the Footer menu and open the Layout block. Select the layout you want to use on the COLUMN LAYOUT option.

To change the background, you can click the Select Color button to open the color picker. Click the Publish button to apply the changes.

After you have decided on the best layout for your website footer, it is time to add your footer elements.

Adding Your WordPress Widgets

You can add any element to the main section of the footer via WordPress widgets. To add one, go to Appearance -> Widgets from your WordPress dashboard. Drag the widget you want to add to the footer area of your choice.

To add your menu to the menu section of your website footer, you need to go to Appearance -> Menus on your WordPress dashboard. Open the Manage Locations tab and select the menu you want to add from the Footer Menu option.

Changing the Background of Your Menu Section

You can change the background color of the menu section in your footer area. In order to do this, you can switch back to your theme customizer. Go to the Footer menu and open the Footer Menu block.

Edit Your Social Icons

The Divi Theme allows you to show or hide social media icons. To do this, you can open the Footer Elements block under the Footer menu on the theme customizer. Simply tick the SHOW SOCIAL ICONS option and click the Publish button.

Changing or Adding Your Credits

By default, your footer contains credits to Elegant Themes (the developer of Divi). To replace it, you can go to the theme customizer. Click the Footer menu and open the Bottom Bar block.
