How to Modify Default Footer Two Content

Topics:

Introduction

Note: This tutorial refers to the Footer Two block. You can also view the Footer Two Overview for more information.

The easiest way to customize the content that appears in your Footer Two block is by adding widgets to the two available widget locations:

  1. “Footer Two Left”
  2. “Footer Two Right”

Any widget content placed in the “Footer Two Left” location will replace the default “Powered by WordPress…” display.

Widget content placed in the “Footer Two Right” location will replace the default “Theme created with ThemeStarta™” display.

By placing widgets in the these two Footer Two locations you can display any content you want.

However, when the widgets are removed, the default content that those widgets replaced will display once again.

So, what do you do if you want the default content to display something other than what is built into ThemeStarta when no widgets are in use?

The following tutorial explains how to customize the default content in the Footer Two block.

Making permanent changes to the Footer Two content

If you would like to make permanent modifications to your theme that will appear without needing to add widgets, do the following.

From within the “contentlayer_wp” folder, open the file named “footertwo.php” for editing. You will see:

<footer itemscope itemtype=”http://schema.org/WPFooter”>
<div class=”footertwoleft”>
<?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar(‘sidebar-3′) ) : ?>
<a href=”http://www.wordpress.org” target=”_blank”>Powered by WordPress</a> All Content Copyright &copy; <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div class=”footertworight”>
<?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar(‘sidebar-4′) ) : ?>
<div style=”text-align:right;”>
Theme created with <a href=”http://www.planetstarta.com” target=”_blank”>ThemeStarta&#8482;</a>.
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</footer>

To change the content that appears on the left of the Footer Two block replace this line with your change:

<a href=”http://www.wordpress.org” target=”_blank”>Powered by WordPress</a> All Content Copyright &copy; <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>

To change the content that appears on the right of the Footer Two block replace this line with your change:

Theme created with <a href=”http://www.planetstarta.com” target=”_blank”>ThemeStarta&#8482;</a>.
