I have 3 Footer questions:
1. In my Dashboard I disabled Footer Widgets (not sure what these Widgets do yet), enabled Footer Content, and added in the Footer Content: <p>my copyright details</p> Should I be adding this and other footer content in the Customise>CSS Global instead?
2. Can I change my footer font from the default upper case to Title case? I will change the font colour when I know which is the the best place to edit this.
3. Can I remove the ^ arrow (denoting back to top) at the bottom of mobile devices and PC displays? I have a fixed menu and think this is enough.

Many thanks!

Hi There,

1- Widgets work like this: a widget is a kind of “module” , there are widgets for many things, for example, latest posts, contact form, text, really it is used for many purposes, but it is a module, so you can insert this “module”(widget) in a widget area. What you did is correct the CSS will be used just to add CSS rulez to your text element, so nothing to worry here.

2 Please add the following code to Appereance > Customizer > Custom > CSS

.x-colophon.bottom .x-colophon-content p {
   text-transform: capitalize;
}

3- Go to Appearance -> Customize > Footer tab and then enable “Scroll Top Anchor” option to make it appear.

Hope it helps,

Joao

I’ve noticed that many websites now display the “Contact” option in the footer instead of an option in the top nav bar. How can I add a link to my Contact page in my footer (I have disabled the menu option in my footer)?

Also, I tried to upload and install the WP Contact form, which captures names in the database but this failed. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m using a temporary URL? Is the best practise to install the plugin, create the Contact page, and then link this to the footer?

Hi there,

Thanks for writing back. You can either enable the footer menu or place a link within the footer content area. Also using a form within footer widget area could be another option. Let us know what you are thinking.

Hi, I don’t want to enable the footer menu as that displays all the menu options. I’d just like a link for “Contact” to go to a Contact page. I’d like to set this up simply and so that there is not a lot of upload time when someone clicks the COntact link in the footer. What do you suggest?

[Joao]

Hi There,

Go to Appereance > Menus > Create a new menu > Just add the contact page > Assign as your footer menu > Save

Go to Appereance > Customizer > Footer > Turn on Footer Menu

Other option is to add a link your contact page on your footer content

<a href="url.com/contact-page">Contact Us!</a>

Hope that helps

Joao

Thanks Joao! You gave me a few options so I’ll experiment with those.
