Changing footer and subscribe button in footer area

Hi @marketingbyels, here’s a guide to creating a call-to-action button, which you can place in a Text widget in your preferred widget area.

You shouldn’t need a child theme for this.

If you need further help, could you please provide a link to your site?

Hi @zoonini!

Thanks a lot, it worked! Do you maybe also have an idea how I can delete the gray standard footer (supported by WordPress, theme Sela) of WordPress?

Great!

To completely remove the grey footer strip in Sela, try this:

.site-footer {
  display: none;
}

Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten every time the theme is updated.

An easy way to add custom CSS is to use the CSS editor included in the Customizer as of WordPress 4.7. Head to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS to add your custom CSS.

Since you didn’t provide a link to your site, I based this CSS off the demo. If you need further help, it would be useful if you could provide a link to your site if it’s online. Thanks!

Thanks a lot! I am trying some things, I think this will work out!

Hi @zoonini,

can I maybe ask another question? I would like to add some images to my WordPress website. I am adding them through ‘Media’, but I receive the error ‘http-error’. The image is around 9000 kb, so it is not to large. And it is a .jpg file. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong? I downloaded the image as a free stockphoto.

THanks in advance!

Regards,
Els

@zoonini, Additionally I changed the file to .png but that does not help either.

@marketingbyels – problems with image uploads don’t sound like a theme-specific issue. You could try looking at some of the troubleshooting steps here and see if they help: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/http-error-on-media-upload-7/

If not, please start a new thread in the general troubleshooting forum, and include all the troubleshooting steps you’ve taken so far:

@zoonini, thanks for your help! I will try it there!

You’re welcome!
