    Hi,

    I want to add a text box containing our address and telephone number to the right-hand side of footer section in red.

    I have a plugin installed called “Insert Headers and Footers”. When I try to add some code to it it’s put underneath the red footer bar. The code I used was

    <p align="right"<font color=#333333>My address</br>line 2</br>line 3</br>phone number</font></p>

    Which I’m sure is wrong somehow but I’m a novice with css/html so I need advice

    Is there a way to do this?

    That’s not the right plugin for you. That plugin is meant to be used by developers to insert scripts (and not human readable stuff).

    It sounds like you have an issue with your theme, which theme is it?

    I’m using the Woocommerce Storefront theme (child)

    That probably explains why my text is where it is then

    I would suggest posting a support topic on your theme’s support section here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/storefront

    But it doesn’t look like the theme authors provide support, nor that there are support contributors frequently visiting that theme.

    Maybe you’ll save more time by switching to another theme that has active support.

    Firstly you didn’t close the “P” header in your code , it should be:
    <p align="right"><font color=#333333>My address</br>line 2</br>line 3</br>phone number</font></p>

    Secondly, before changing theme I would suggest that you see if you can put a TEXT widget in the footer of your current theme. OR if that fails customise the footer.php file in your child theme.

    Thanks Andrew, I will try that.

    Thanks Ross, I’ve tried that, it makes the footer larger in height.

    You need to learn how to use a browser inspector to see how your HTML and CSS are working, this will give you the answers you need to customise your CSS or footer etc. At the moment it looks like your address is placed below the footer.
