Can I get a link to the page so that I can provide a solution to center the social icons in the footer?
I would recommend SiteOrigin Page Builder but WPBakery should work too. To create a full width section in siteorigin, you just have to create a row and choose Row Layout as ‘Full Width’. Pls see screenshot below –
I also realized that when I create a new page and select one column without sidebar template sometimes I get a comment section at the bottom of the page (which I don’t need). If I select home page layout I get a gap at the bottom.
You can center the social icons in the footer by setting the number of columns in the ‘Footer’ tab of theme options to 1. Then set the Footer Widget Area 1 to house the social icons widget.
