04:31 What’s your favorite method?
04:40 Edit footer.php
05:15 Add code to the footer

For the most common method to add or remove from the widget area, we will go under Appearance, Widgets, and look for a footer widget area. This will allow us to add a widget, menu, or other types of content to the footer. In this guide, we will be adding a menu as our example.

Some themes offer you more control over the design so when you go under Appearance, Customize and scroll to the bottom of the page to check for a pencil icon that you can click. If there is one, once you click it, the editor will bring up the options available in your thing for what can be edited.

If you do not have either of these options, you would want to use FTP to edit your theme’s files, you can see how to use FTP with our guide below:

Before making any changes with this method, be sure to create a backup of any files you plan to modify by downloading them. With this method, we will edit the theme files themselves, specifically footer.php, and look for the line with ‘Powered by WordPress’. You would edit that text to change it to what you would like to have on your theme’s footer.

Lastly, if you only need to add code to the page then we would recommend our Insert Headers and Footer plugin below:

You can add the code you would like under Settings, Insert Headers and Footers. There are three different areas and the bottom is for scripts you would like to add to the footer.

  1. Hi, In the side bar of my WordPress editing site, I do not have the button APPEARANCE, So I am unable to follow this guide. I have the CUSTOMIZE button which has a WIDGET dropdown, but this also brings me to a completely different page so I can't access the pages you guide through in the above video. Is there a new/old version that I am maybe missing out on?
