Footer
2 min read Updated
The Footer section controls the footer text, the social icons, colors and spacing of the footer. Go to AppearanceCustomizeTheme SettingsFooter. The footer has two parts: the widget area, and the bottom bar below it. The widget area shows when it has at least one widget and Footer Widgets is on in the page’s Page Settings.

Footer Text
The text in the bottom bar. Use {sitename} for your site title and {year} for the current year. You can add a link with HTML. Default: {year} © {sitename}.
<a href="https://siteorigin.com/">SiteOrigin</a>
Privacy Policy Link
Show a link to your Privacy Policy page in the bottom bar. The link shows only when you choose a page at SettingsPrivacy. Default: on.
Display SiteOrigin Attribution
The bottom bar shows a “Theme by SiteOrigin” link. To remove it, use the No Attribution Addon from SiteOrigin Premium. Until then, the setting shows Available in Premium.
