Hi, I’m working on a client’s site and I can not make any changes to the footer – including adding copyright info on the “General” page tab.
I also went to customize – widgets – footer and nothing happened there either.
Widgets don’t seem to work.
We are using the free version and right now the footer has 1 line:A Siteorigin Theme.
Am I able to do anything else with this footer?
Thanks
Hi Melodye
You can add copyright info from Appearance > Theme Settings > General: Site Information Text.
If widgets aren’t appearing in the footer when added to Appearance > Widgets > Footer you’ll need to troubleshoot:
1. Run any updates pending at Dashboard > Updates.
2. Temporarily de-activate all non SiteOrigin plugins and re-test.
3. Change over to another theme, delete Vantage and then re-install the theme if non of the above works.
I added a child theme for Vantage and I am working from that. Do you think that has anything to do with it?
You should revert to the parent theme and re-test. That’ll let you know if the child theme is causing the problem.
