    Do I put am Import into my current child style.css child theme file or do I have to create a 2nd child theme file specifically indicating it is a “footer.php” child theme?

    If so, how do you do it?

    Thanks

  • Yes, you need to make a copy of the parent footer.php file and put that in your child theme. So you would have:

    themes
       childtheme
          style.css
          footer.php

    Then you make the changes in the child footer.php file.

    But you don’t need any @import lines in the footer.php file – just use a copy of the parent file and change whatever you want there.

    Great! Thanks.

    I copied the footer.php file into my Child Theme Folder that is under my wp-content>theme> folder path in my hosting accounts File Manager

    Now the footer.php file shows up as well as my style.css file awaiting any modifications.

    This is a major concept for me to understand for making changes hope it helps others.
