You can now delete the page you created called footer. Your row is saved in your WordPress database.

In your WordPress dashboard go to Appearances and select Editor

On the right select Theme Functions

Within your function.php file paste the following code.

 

This code uses the fl_after_content action hook which is built in to the Beaver Builder Theme to add your new row to the bottom of all pages on your site except the front page.

Just like on this site.

We exclude the front page because if we ever need to edit the row we will use the row on the front page.

 

Step 4. Add Global row to front page.

Now we need to add the footer to our home page.

Go to your home page and edit it with page builder
