How to add a custom footer overlay?

Can I add a custom footer overlay to my social wall?

You can add a custom footer overlay to your Walls.io social wall with custom CSS. This is useful if you want to keep an important message visible at all times, such as a campaign CTA, sponsor note, or prompt encouraging visitors to post. To set it up, go to Setup > Design and paste the CSS snippet below into your custom CSS field.

body:after {
content: "Post on Instagram for a chance to get featured!"; /*put your message here*/
font-size: 40px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
height: 70px;
line-height: 70px;
color: white;
background-color: #003087; /*change the color*/
}

/* move the create post button up in case it is covering the footer on smaller screens */
@media only screen and (max-width: 576px) {
#createPostButton {
bottom: 80px !important;
}
}

The footer overlay will communicate your message promptly. In our case, you will see the message below with a blue background 👇

Customize the footer message and color

You can edit the snippet to match your wall design and message:

  1. Replace Post on Instagram for a chance to get featured! with your own footer text.

  2. Change #003087 to any hex or RGB color you want to use as the footer background.

  3. Adjust font-size, height, and line-height if you want the footer to appear larger or smaller on the wall.

🔎 The snippet also moves the Create Post button up on smaller screens so it does not overlap the footer overlay.
