How to customize footer.

    Hi

    I have a couple of questions about setting up the footer:

    First, How do I keep the footer at the bottom of the page, I don’t want it to be sticky as I have a page with a lot of contents in it.

    I’ve looked at other threads, Youtube videos on keeping the footer down and most of them are the ‘sticky’ solutions.

    Second, How do I edit the texts on the footer?

    I’m quite new to css, let alone WordPress.

    I am using Virtue theme (please excuse the fact that none of the pages actually look anything like the theme) and here’s what I’m working on: https://chesterzaballero.co.uk/

    Thanks!

  • Can you please send me an example of what you’re hoping to make your footer do?

    As for changing the text, the only text I see is the copyright and attribute to the theme author. If you’re trying to edit that, usually you have to go to Dashboard->Appearance->Editor, select the footer.php file. If footer.php is not visible there, you may have to edit it via ftp/ssh

    some themes store the footer text in Dashboard->Appearance->Customize and others store it in Dashboard->Appearance->Theme Options

    double check the license on your theme as many theme authors require attribution

    @zabbyc02 – best place for theme help is on the forum for that theme – the developers of Virtue are quite helpful:

    And BTW, don’t modify theme files unless you are using a child theme – otherwise all of your changes will be lost when the theme is updated.

    Here’s some mock up of what I want the footers to look like…

    So regardless of the amount/height of my content, I would still like my footer to stay at the bottom of the page.

    The ‘Portfolio’ page is fine because the contents is pushing it towards the end of the page, but pages like ‘Home’, ‘Contacts’, ‘About’, and some sub-portfolio page doesn’t have enough contents to push the footer down.

    As for the footer texts, I simply need to add a bit more info next to my name. So I looked at the footer.php but all that is there is:

    <?php
    /*
    Empty on purpose.
    */

    Are there any other place where I can edit the text?

    Thanks for the input! I wasn’t quite sure if this issue is theme related or just a general query but I will take note of that if I still can’t get this working.

    And Yes I’ve tried to create a child theme but when I got to the stage of using either @import or wp_enqueue_scripts action my head just started spinning.
