Footer link

[Krisztian Hofstadter]

Hello Bill,

Is there an easy way to add a link to the footer. I have tried add an html link by using the theme options :

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

But after saving, the code disappeared.

Do I have to change something deeper int he php files?

Thanks,
best wishes,
Kris

Hello Kris,

Great question there. To add a link to the custom text in the footer, you will need to edit the footer.php file just a bit. Here’s what to do:

1. Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress control panel and select Edit.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose footer.php
3. Find this spot:

   
   <p><?php echo of_get_option('footer_text'); ?></p>
   

   and change it to be like this:

   
   (Be sure to copy that code directly from the support site instead of the notification email.)

4. Change the http://yourlink.com to the URL you’d like to link to.
5. Save your changes.

That should wrap the custom footer text in a link for you. If you have any questions or trouble, let me know.

Thanks,
Bill
