    I should also note – I’ve been viewing the footer.php. There is currently no text in my footer, so I’m unsure how and where to place my text. Thanks!

    Hi Kimswisher

    Thanks for your support.

    All WordPress.org themes completely overwrite their own folder on update. If you directly edited a theme file like footer.php, then, unfortunately those changes would have been lost. If you need to edit theme files in the future, please, use a child theme.

    You can add content to the footer widget area from Appearance > Widgets > Footer.
    You can add content to the footer copyright text area from Appearance > Theme Settings > General > Site Information Text.

    Between the above two options you should have everything locked down. Let me know how you come along :)

    That worked!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!

    One more question, if I wanted to add a “mailto” link in the footer, how do I add that? Would I find the footer text we just added in the CSS file now?

  4. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    For sure :) Glad to hear you made progress.

    Whether in the footer widget area or Site Information Text field you can use HTML to insert a mailto link.

    (Sorry, not quite following. Can you quickly explain what you added? Did you directly edit style.css?)

    Thanks for your very quickly replies Andrew!

    I added the footer text exactly where you told me to place it. Now I want to add the mailto html – and I’m not sure where to place the text. I know the html code I need to use, but I don’t know where to place the code (I’m very new to CSS).

  6. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Perfect. So there isn’t any CSS involved here, just HTML.

    Go to where you inserted your site information text and insert:

    <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Email me!</a>

    Edit as required.
