Add footer to homepage

  • Hi,

    I have no idea about coding really, just the very bare basics but all I want to do is add the footer to the home page so on my home page it has my privacy policy etc. The footer shows on all pages and posts (using the content bottom widget) but does not have an option to show on the home page?

    I’m using twenty sixteen theme. Any help would be hugely appreciated and if the answer involves coding, please talk to me as if you were teaching someone for the first time as otherwise it will go straight over my head!

    Thanksssss,

    Tom.

  • Hi Tom,

    Similar question about customising the footer has been asked before. Have a look here:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/best-way-to-custimize-the-twentysixteen-footer?replies=3

    This may require some coding but if you follow some of the links in the replies it seems straight forward.

    Also, if you aren’t already familiar with the concept of child themes, please read more about it here:

    Let me know if things still do not work out for you and I’ll try my best to assist you further.

    Thanks,

    Hi Tanveer,

    Thanks for the quick response! I’ve now run into a bit of an issue which I’m hoping is easily fixable but I’m not sure!

    I managed to create the twenty sixteen child theme successfully. I then tried to follow what was said on this post that you linked:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/child-theme-footer?replies=23

    However, since I updated the code from the footer thread, whenever I load my website or even try to get onto the wordpress dashboard I have a completely blank white screen.

    I have since input the original code from the wordpress child theme codex page. However I still have no idea how to put the footer on my home page.

    Sorry to be a pain, is there any chance you could help a nooby out?

    Thanks,
    Tom.

    Hi Tom,

    Is your website uploaded to a server where I can view it? May be I can get some clues from there to proceed further.
