Last Updated: May 3, 2019
Latest Update: I made some changes to the documentation.
In this tutorial you will learn how to manage the footer area of your site including the copyright notice. ClassiPress has four different widget areas you can play with. Each widget area allows you to add many different widgets. It is up to you to choose how many widgets you want to add in each footer area block.
Note: When editing themes it is always best to use a child theme for all your customization.

ClassiPress Theme Tutorial List:
I have been working in IT since 1999 and I enjoy the challenges it brings me. I love developing websites with WordPress. I spend a lot of time helping out in wordpress.org forums. I have been writing tutorials since 2011. Now I am learning how to manage my own VPS "Virtual Private Server.
Man it’s 2018 why are you still telling people to hack core files … it’s not futureproof in the slightest – please recommend to use a child theme instead
Hi, yes you are correct. Thank you for reminding me. I was eventually going to include more information which also included using a child theme. Unfortunately I lost track and never got around it. I am always busy. I will be adding some documentation about using a child theme in a future update.
Thank you for your comment.
is there any way to adjust height of footer copyright bar??
Hi, you will need to implement some custom CSS code in the footer area.
Kind regards.
