Feature request: Customizable footer

  • Hi, I am working on a project where we want to have a customizable footer with the Hitchcock theme. Specifically, we want to add a licensing/legal notice at the bottom of the page, but also it would be nice to add blocks like the Jetpack Subscription Form so people can subscribe to email updates from any page.

    Currently, this is being done on our site with custom HTML in the footer.php file and some additional CSS:

    Custom footer element:

    <p class="footer-license">All content on this website, except where otherwise noted, is licensed under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International</a> (CC BY-ND 4.0) license.</p>

    Custom CSS (note the #aa2200 color below is set from Customize > Theme Options > Accent Colour, but we hard-coded it):

    .credits .footer-license a {
	color: #aa2200;
}

.credits .footer-license {
	color: white;
}

    Would it be possible to implement something like this in the theme, or make it a theme option? It would be appreciated. Thanks for the great work!

    Hi @jflory7,

    I’m not adding a lot of features to Hitchcock at this point, so I’m afraid I’m not planning on adding support for custom elements in the footer. I’d recommend people who want that to add the elemnts in a child theme instead.
