How do you force the site index to be closed instead of open when your first visit the site.

To resolve this issue, you can open custom.js in the folder path “\wp-content\themes\dw-focus\assets\js”. Find the line 189 to line 200.
Replace the following code:

 $('.footer-toggle').click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        var footer_toggle = getCookie('footer_toggle');
        if( footer_toggle == null || footer_toggle != 'collapsed' ) {
            setCookie('footer_toggle','collapsed');
        } else {
            setCookie('footer_toggle','expanded');
        }
        $(this).toggleClass('collapsed');
        $('#sidebar-footer').stop().slideToggle();

     });

With new code:

     $('.footer-toggle').click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        var footer_toggle = getCookie('footer_toggle');
        if( footer_toggle == null || footer_toggle != 'expanded' ) {
            setCookie('footer_toggle','expanded');
        } else {
            setCookie('footer_toggle','collapsed');
        }
        $(this).toggleClass('expanded');
        $('#sidebar-footer').stop().slideToggle();

     });

Hope this helps !
