Hi,

In order to remove footer info apply custom css code below to style.css file or by using simple custom css plugin:

.site-info.container {
    display: none;
}

In order to change it you will have to edit theme folder / footer.php file and to change marked lines to your liking http://screencast.com/t/8rQMVrGiy4BV

For these kind of changes you should consider using child theme, and to make edits to footer.php from there. In this way changes will be permanent after theme updates.

Best Regards

Hi, I have removed the ”Proudly powered by WordPress | Theme: Sydney by aThemes.” using the CSS code provided. Thanks for that.

Besides, I have used Footer Putter plugin to add in my own copyright statement. But would like to ask how could I change the footer’s background color from white color to black for example?

Thanks.

Hello there,

@limpeek

Footer background is dark gray by default. In order to change it to white use custom css code below:

.site-footer {
    background-color: #ffffff;
}

If this is not working for you, please share your page link with us so we can provide css code more precisely.

@designssquared

Child theme will inherit template files from main theme, but if you copy footer.php from main theme to child theme folder, then it will override parent theme footer.php. Good reading https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

All the Best!

Hello there,

  1. Footer font size can be increased with custom css code below:
.site-info.container {
    font-size: 16px;
}

You can apply the code with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/ and of course change font-size value to your liking.

  1. Footer link can be inserted with html markup http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp , also this is explain in many other topics like this one for example https://athemes.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-right-aligned-link-to-footer/

All the Best!

Hello Richard,

This is support forum for Sydney theme, and you can find how to add content in our documents sections https://athemes.com/documentation/sydney/, and there is also option to delete elements or row from page content in order to remove it.

Regarding footer section, all elements are added trough text widgets from Appearance > Widgets > Footer widget areas.

If there is something else, please share your site link so we can see what you were referring to, thanks.

Hello,

When you open footer.php file you will see what needs to be changed, here is the screenshot http://screencast.com/t/2q55fNwwb

or you can remove marked line and to replace it with anything else by using HTML paragraph http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_paragraphs.asp or link http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

I’ll mark this topic as resolved because it is pretty old one.

Best Regards!
