How do I customize the footer?

Hi there!

Access your dashboard go to appearance > widget
then look for footer section then you can simply add your element there.

hepe it helps

Thanks for that. That allowed me to add some text to a footer, but it seems to only span half the width, which looks odd.

More to the point, what I actually want to do is replace the text that’s in the black bar at the very bottom, where it says “Proudly powered by WordPress…” I don’t want to advertise WordPress or anyone else on my website.

I’m guessing this will probably require a child theme and change to code in a file. I’m comfortable doing that, I just don’t know where to do it.

Yeah. No thanks on the Skype.

Anyway, found the answer on another thread.

Great!
