    I love your theme! About the custom footer: I just want make my url https://www.studioTrish.com link to my site. It shows up in the footer, but without a link.

    I modified WP-forge in the “Footer Content” box but I am not sure about where to place the link url in my Child Theme Footer or content footer PHP. The website with the custom footer is https://www.polarvortexultimate.com. My child theme is Polaris 2.

    I really appreciate this easy-to modify, clean and wonderful WP-Forge theme.Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

    Glad you like the theme. You have to enter in the html for the link in the Footer Content section like so:

    <a href="https://www.studioTrish.com" target="_blank">StudioTrish.com</a>

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you so much for your prompt response. I put your above string into the “Footer Content” Area of your Customize sidebar, but the only box available was the “Footer Text” box. Now the entire html string is showing in the footer. Where else might the link html go? in the footer php? I’d place it there, but not sure exactly where.

    Again, the site is https://www.polavortexultimate.com
    Thanks again,tsquez!

    Ah yes my apologies, forgot that it was just a text field which doesn’t accept html coding.

    Basically all you have to do is open up content-footer.php and look for the areas that begin with “Powered by”. It looks like this:

    <?php _e( 'Powered by', 'wp-forge' ); ?> <a href="<?php echo esc_url(__('https://themeawesome.com/responsive-wordpress-theme/','wp-forge')); ?>" rel="follow" target="_blank" title="<?php _e( 'A Responsive WordPress Theme', 'wp-forge' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'WP-Forge', 'wp-forge' ); ?></a> & <a href="<?php echo esc_url(__('https://www.ads-software.com/','wp-forge')); ?>" target="_blank" title="<?php _e( 'WordPress', 'wp-forge' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'WordPress', 'wp-forge' ); ?></a>

    replace every instance of this with:
    <a href="https://www.studioTrish.com">StudioTrish.com</a>

    I hope that you are using a child theme. If not then any modifications you make will be lost when I update WP-Forge and you click update in the admin area.
