adding links to the footer

where exactly is the problem?
– to add the links?
– to arrange them neatly?

are you trying to add them manually?
are you using ‘wp_list_pages();’ maybe with the include parameter?

could you post a link to your site?

I just want to know the proper way to add links to static pages in a horizontal line centered across the footer. I’m using the default wordpress theme.

adding links;
manually:
<p><a href="https://inkurl1.com">link text1</a>link text2 <a href="https://inkurl13.com">link text3</a></p>

should be centered automatically in default theme.

or dynamically:

add this in footer.php (for a ist of all pages):

<ul><?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?></ul>

or this, using the include parameter to dertermine which pages to ahow:

<ul><?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&include=7,13,26,35'); ?></ul>

and add these styles to style.css:

#footer ul { list-style-type: none; text-align:center; }
#footer li { display:inline; padding: 0 10px; }
