Footer question

It might be an option that’s set somewhere in the theme’s settings.The div is given the name “contact info” so look for something like that in the theme settings or in the Customizer.

Thanks, Steve!

I looked for anything called “Contact Info” or “Contact Us” and found a widget for that, but it doesn’t have any text in it.

I also found widgets for “Footer Left” and “Footer Right”, but they are also blank.

I was hoping that I could just do a search for the some of the words in the footer and find it that way, but I guess WordPress doesn’t work that way.

Can you tell me where I find the Theme Settings? I found the theme in the Customize list, but when I click on ‘customize’ it just sends me back to the same menu I’ve been wrestling with.

what plugins are active in the site?

what widgets are in the footers, other than the one with the ‘contact us’ title and the testimonial one?

Here’s what the dashboard says:

Active Plugins:
Akismet Anti-Spam
All-in-One WP Migration
AlpinePhotoTile for Flickr
Contact Form 7
Google Analytics Dashboard for WP
Jetpack
PHP Compatibility Checker
Ultimate Coming Soon Page
Updraft Plus
WooCommerce
Yoast SEO

I can’t really tell what widgets are in the actual footer. There are a bunch of widgets on the site, including one called Footer Left and one called Footer Right. Footer Left used to have a map in it, but I deleted it. Footer Right doesn’t appear to have any content, it just says “This is where your feedback is.”

There’s a Contact Us widget but it’s the sidebar on the Contact Us page.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @sarahb1963,

There are a couple of ways I would try to find the address:

1. Look in your theme or child theme functions.php.
2. Look in footer.php file.
3. cd to your theme(s) directory Run grep "South Boundary" * -r | more on the command line.
4. If you use VS Code, open the theme(s) directory and search on “South Boundary”.

Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions!

I did a search through Dreamweaver of the entire WordPress backup folder for the site, that I have on my computer. Weirdly, Dreamweaver searched every single page of the site and no page containing those words came up anywhere except a few .sql files. It’s very weird.

Hi @sarahb1963,

Please make sure you try other variations of strings. E.g., Perrysburg, Suite NN, etc.

Anyway, it might be in the DB since you are getting hits on SQL files? Maybe those SQL files are exported backups?

Have you tried running the Better Search Replace plugin? It’s too bad this plugin hasn’t been updated in a year. But, it’s been my go-to plugin for searching the DB or you can run SQL queries via phpMyAdmin if that’s better for you.

Hi Mark,

Just so I’m clear, does DB stand for database?

That’s what I thought too, and I found the Footer Left widget, but it had only some HTML for a Google Map. I removed that, and now the text box for the Footer Left Widget is blank – there’s no text in it at all. It’s very weird. If we could post pictures here I could post an image.

I haven’t talked to the theme author yet, that’s my next step. The client stopped using him because he never had time to work on her website.

OK, I contacted the original site designer, and it turned out that the address was in the “Theme Appearance” drop-down menu in the dashboard. So I was able to make the changes.

Thanks for the help, everybody!
