What should I do if my navigation does not fit in the header row?
If navigation does not fit in the header row, SW Header Simple has layout options that can help. One option is to move the menu below the header so it has a full-width row.
Another option is to enable the mobile menu at larger breakpoints so the hamburger appears sooner. Use the AI documentation for the exact field names in the version of the module being edited.
Was header resize or mobile menu jumpiness fixed in recent Smithworks themes?
The documentation notes that on themes updated around 2026.04.29, SW Header Simple improved resize and mobile menu behavior by batching spacing updates when the sticky header and drawer height are measured.
After a developer updates the theme, publish the relevant theme or global content and review the header on desktop and mobile.
Why does the footer show the wrong company name after the copyright symbol?
In Smithworks themes, the footer copyright company name often comes from HubSpot’s marketing email footer settings. That value is separate from the company information in Account defaults.
Go to Marketing → Email → Configuration → Footer addresses and update the company name there. Some footer modules may also expose an override field, depending on the theme setup.
How do I hide “Powered by Smithworks” in the footer?
To hide the “Powered by Smithworks” line, edit the global footer content and open the SW Footer Simple or SW Footer Simple 02 module. In Content → Copyright Information, turn Show “Powered by Smithworks” off.
The copyright line with the year and company name can still appear if Add Copyright Line is enabled. Publish global content after changing the setting.
What is SW Footer Simple 02?
SW Footer Simple 02 is a two-row footer module. The upper area can support brand, logo, menu, tagline, and optional button content, while the lower strip supports copyright, simple links, and social icons.
Some themes default to SW Footer Simple 02, while others use the single-band SW Footer Simple. To know which one your site uses, select the footer module in the editor and read its name in the sidebar.
Why do footer social icons look blank or the wrong color after a theme update?
On SW Footer Simple and SW Footer Simple 02, custom social icons follow the footer content color settings unless a social row has explicit override colors. If icons look blank or wrong, review Content Colors → Link Colors and any per-row Override Colors settings.
After updating the theme, republish global footer content and hard-refresh the page. If the issue continues, confirm that the theme version matches the current Smithworks master.
What changed in the Smithworks blog partials and templates?
The changelog notes several blog partial and template updates. The main blog index can have a page-level H1 for SEO, /blog/all can use a self-referencing canonical when configured, and post hero banner images load with higher priority on updated themes.
Author archive pages also received a layout with author bio content at the top and a searchable, sortable post list. Listing hero is not shown on author archives, and post bylines still link to the author archive URL.
What theme-level updates can affect many SW modules at once?
Some SW changes are theme-level updates rather than individual module field changes. The changelog notes updates such as a clearer main landmark for accessibility tools, module stylesheet loading so pages can paint sooner, removal of extra side padding from the main drag-and-drop content shell, Roboto loading from the page head, and trimmed connection hints when live chat is off.
These updates can affect many pages or modules at once. In most cases, editors do not need to re-enter content; they should publish when the developer says the upgrade is live and then spot-check important pages.
