    How do I modify the footer. I copied some code from another Executive site that treats the footer similar to what I would like to do. I cannot figure out where to place this code or if I am doing the right thing?

    I basically want to modify the copyright, create a link to our privacy policy and site map.

    <div class="gototop"><p>Return to top of page</p></div><div class="creds"><p>COPYRIGHT © 2012 · TRANS-TEC AMERICA LLC · PRIVACY POLICY · SITE MAP

    The easiest way to do it is to install and activate the Simple Edits plugin.

    Otherwise, use a code snippet from here:

    Footer

    Code snippets can be added to the bottom of your functions.php file.

    Susan,

    I installed the plugin. How do I create a link in the footer that takes the reader to a specific landing page on my site, such as my Privacy Policy?

    Here is my current footer:

    <div class="gototop"><p>[footer_backtotop]</p></div><div class="creds"><p>Copyright [footer_copyright] </div>

    Here is what I want to add as a link to the text "Privacy Policy"

    In the simple edits page, you have the option to over-ride everything that is in the footer, and create your own links. Use that part to add in the link to your Privacy policy.

    Sorry Susan, I am not very knowledgeable of code. Here is the mess I made, am I getting warm?

    <div class="gototop"><p>[footer_backtotop]</p></div><div class="creds"><p>Privacy Policy [http://microsprayinternational.com/privacy-policy/]</div><p>Copyright [footer_copyright] </div>

    What I do is create what I want that section to look like in a post.. then look at that code and copy paste that into the spot..
    Is this similar to what you want at the bottom of this place http://www.jmwoodworks.com/ where it links to the site map and my website? (Cuz I don't speak "code" either!)

    Chrissy, my approach is the same. I look at current code and try to replace elements. My situation, I'm using Simple Edits plugin. I pretty sure what I am trying to do is simple.

    Hello there, just ran an SEO tool on my page and this code was detected Return to top of page i used the simple edits plug in to check if it's in the footer but the #wrap" rel="nofollow"> isn't there. nofollowmay be misleading to search engines and i'm afraid some of my pages may not be crawled. any idea where to find this code and edit it to remove no follow?
