Hi Barbara,
There isn’t a built in area for you to edit or add links to the footer with Button.
To make changes to the footer you would instead need to make changes to the theme’s underlying HTML.
The first step to do this is to set up a child theme.
The following guides provide a good introduction to child themes, including steps to set one up:
- https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes
- https://wordpress.tv/2015/05/12/kathryn-presner-getting-comfortable-with-child-themes/
After you have completed that step, copy the parent’s footer.php file to your child theme’s directory and then open it in your favourite text/code editor.
You can add your link just below the following code in that file:
<div class="site-info">In case you’re unsure how to create a link using HTML, these guides give some good instructions:

- http://www.hyperlinkcode.com/make-hyperlink.php

Hope that helps! Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any extra questions, too.
Hi Siobhan, I could resolve the issue with the help of your instructions.
Thanks for your help!
