Description
The Footer Content add-on inserts custom content blocks into the WordPress footer without editing the theme’s footer.php, allowing you to position messages, legal notices, credits, or additional widgets through an admin configuration panel. Designed for those who maintain multiple sites on the WPMUDEV network and need to standardize footer information centrally, it eliminates any manual adjustment of the active theme’s code.
