Thank you ??
I actually figured it out. I’m feeling a little stupid ?? However it didn’t seem very intuitive.
I am very flattered that the plugin creator himself responded. Thank you for creating it!

So, the footer somehow will be supplemented with the child theme footer, like the style sheet? How does one link them?

I am assuming you are talking about placing a text into the footer. Because I am using an existing theme, when the update happen, does the info get overwritten?

Toby,
Thank you for responding. I am not familiar with writing php. I understand that you could add a function that does the action to the child theme, but I am not sure what is the correct way of doing that?

This is the code from parent functions.php.

<?php
/**
* Ample functions related to defining constants, adding files and WordPress core functionality.
*
* @package ThemeGrill
* @subpackage Ample
* @since Ample 0.1
*/

add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘ample_setup’ );

if ( ! function_exists( ‘ample_setup’ ) ) :
/**
* Sets up theme defaults and registers support for various WordPress features.
*
*/
function ample_setup() {
global $content_width;
/**
* Set the content width based on the theme’s design and stylesheet.
*/
if ( ! isset( $content_width ) )
$content_width = 710; /* pixels */

/*
* Make theme available for translation.
* Translations can be filed in the /languages/ directory.
*/
load_theme_textdomain( ‘ample’, get_template_directory() . ‘/languages’ );

// Add default posts and comments RSS feed links to head.
add_theme_support( ‘automatic-feed-links’ );

/*
* Let WordPress manage the document title.
* By adding theme support, we declare that this theme does not use a
* hard-coded <title> tag in the document head, and expect WordPress to
* provide it for us.
*/
add_theme_support( ‘title-tag’ );

//Enable support for Post Thumbnails on posts and pages.
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );

// Cropping the images to different sizes to be used in the theme
add_image_size( ‘ample-featured-blog-large’, 710, 300, true );
add_image_size( ‘ample-featured-blog-small’, 230, 230, true );
add_image_size( ‘ample-portfolio-image’, 330, 330, true );

// Registering navigation menus.
register_nav_menus( array(
‘primary’ => __( ‘Primary Menu’, ‘ample’ ),
‘footer’ => __( ‘Footer Menu’, ‘ample’ ),
) );

/*
* Switch default core markup for search form, comment form, and comments
* to output valid HTML5.
*/
add_theme_support( ‘html5’, array(
‘search-form’, ‘comment-form’, ‘comment-list’, ‘gallery’, ‘caption’,
) );

// Set up the WordPress core custom background feature.
add_theme_support( ‘custom-background’, apply_filters( ‘ample_custom_background_args’, array(
‘default-color’ => ‘ffffff’,
‘default-image’ => ”,
) ) );

// Adding excerpt option box for pages as well
add_post_type_support( ‘page’, ‘excerpt’ );
}
endif; // ample_setup

/**

require get_template_directory() . ‘/inc/admin/meta-boxes.php’;

/**

require_once( get_template_directory() . ‘/inc/customizer.php’ );

/**

*/
add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘ample_theme_options_menu’ );

function ample_theme_options_menu() {

add_theme_page( ‘Theme Options’, ‘Theme Options’, ‘manage_options’, ‘ample-theme-options’, ‘ample_theme_options’ );

}
function ample_theme_options() {

if ( !current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) ) {
wp_die( __( ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.’, ‘ample’ ) );
} ?>

printf( __(‘<p style=”font-size: 16px; max-width: 800px”;>As our themes are hosted on WordPress repository, we need to follow the WordPress theme guidelines and as per the new guiedlines we have migrated all our Theme Options to Customizer.</p><p style=”font-size: 16px; max-width: 800px”;>We too think this is a better move in the long run. All the options are unchanged, it is just that they are moved to customizer. So, please use this link to customize your site.

esc_url(admin_url( ‘customize.php’ ) ),
esc_url(‘https://themegrill.com/contact/&#8217;)
);
}

The forum has a discussion regarding that, but I am not too familiar with php in order for me to write the code. I will try asking the author about that. I probably will want to add additional info into the footer as well.

Thank you for tying to help

Well, I would like to change this:
Powered by WordPress. Theme: Ample by ThemeGrill.
To Based on Ample Theme. Or something to this regard.
Thank you

Hey Falguni,
Thank you! That might work. But I found another work around — the one could add a text widget and list an absolute url to the image like so
