The footer content can be edited in two places:
Appearance -> Widgets
Appearance -> Customize -> Widgets
If you need guidance on adding widgets, this article provides a detailed explanation.
Once you’ve defined the footer structure and assigned widget areas, you can easily make edits directly in Widgets page without needing to go to the Customizer to save changes.
Widgets locations that you can use in the footer are Footer Widget Area 1 to Footer Widget Area 6:
The content formatting and everything Block Editor offers can be constructed here.
With this approach, you can add any type of element to the footer, including images, maps, contact forms, and other content supported by the Block Editor and the plugins that extend it.
When editing multiple widget locations, make sure to click the Update button after each widget location edit. WordPress only saves changes for the current widget area, so if you edit multiple areas without saving, your work may be lost.
The widget content flows vertically by default, but you can still organize it into columns for a more structured layout.
You can add as many groups as needed in the widget area, and in the Customizer’s Footer section, you can configure these widgets to split into columns.
This setup supports varying column numbers on different responsive viewports.
Then in the Appearance -> Customize -> Footer section, set the number of Widgets per Row for Footer Widget Area 3:
Do not confuse the Column element with widget columns, as it is mainly used for structuring the footer layout.
