The footer area comprises three columns and a bottom bar, these contain seven editable areas.

Widget Areas

Most of the footer sections are created using “Widgets”. To edit Widgets, go to “Widgets” which can be found under ‘Appearance” in the main admin menu.

The logo can be replaced by going to the “Footer Column 1” widget area.

You will not see the logo widget! It is a white logo with a transparent background.

Click on the empty white space and the edit options for the image block will appear.

To swap the image click on “Replace” and the standard WordPress image selection will appear.

It is important that the logo (and any accompanying text) stands out against the blue background, so white is preferred.

As with any image you add to the website, it is important that you add “Alt Text” to describe the image.

Finally, to complete the image replacement click the ‘Update” button on the top right of the page.

Editing these will also update the contact details in the toolbar at the top of the page.

All are optional – leave the boxes empty if you do not want anything to be shown.

Also optional is the “Google Map Link”. If you would like your address to be a link that leads to an external site (it does not have to be google!) that shows your location put the url in this box.

To control where the text wraps to a new line, insert [w]. This will not effect the address in the toolbar at the top of the page – only the footer.
