How to remove footer section

  • Hello there.

    So I figured this would be a fairly simple thing to do, and have lots of tutorials out there, but I really can’t seem to find one, however I am very new with this stuff…

    But I would like to remove the footer section on my site. Right now it has some links from an old donations plugin I was trying out, and I removed the plugins, but the links are still there. And I find the footer to just be redundant, so I would like to try removing the whole thing.

    Any ideas on how I might do this?

    Thanks very much in advance!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi there,
    you can add this

    #footer{
display:none;
}

    in your custom CSS box under Customize->Additional CSS.

    Awesome! Thank you very much Fotis.

    Now that it’s looking much cleaner, do you happen to know if it would be fairly simple to have just a single sentence in the footer area?… without all the links and things that were in the footer, replaced with just one sentence…

    or would that be quite complicated? Because it’s acceptable looking now, but maybe it does look a little awkward without some kind of simple footer…

    Thank you, it’s very much appreciated!!

    Hi there,
    you can actually remove my suggested code and open footer.php replacing everything with

    		</div><!-- /site-content -->
	</div><!-- /col-md-12 -->
    </div><!-- /row -->
</div><!-- /container -->
<footer id="footer">
        <p class="tagline">
	    Your content here
	</p>
</footer><!-- /footer -->
		
</div><!-- #page -->

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

</body>
</html>

    Open the default editor and then navigate to the /themes/olsenlight/ folder to find the file.
    If you decide to proceed with this modification I would suggest you create a child theme, copy over the files you are editing and make the modifications there. This will allow your changes to survive future theme updates. If you directly edit the theme’s files, all changes will be lost once you update.

    Have a look at this guide to learn more about child themes and how to create one https://www.cssigniter.com/ignite/beginners-guide-child-themes/
