- Added New option to the Customizer under “Footer” for “Fixed Footer”. This setting will not “fix” your footer per-se but will add a min-height to your #main container using javascript (that will update on window resize) to keep your footer always at the bottom of the page (highly requested feature). This setting will be disabled by default and it has also been added to the footer builder admin page
