If you’re not using a Child Theme, and if the theme doesn’t have a designated section of the dashboard for CSS modifications then do the following:
- Install this Custom CSS Manager plugin http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin
- use its “CSS Code” section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications:
-
(put this code in)
.site-footer {
color: pink;
font-size: 30px;
}
- Save
Alternatively use your Child Theme style.css file to hold your CSS modifications
Hi Andrew, thanks for your help.
I’m using a Child Theme. I’ve put the code you’ve suggested in my style.css, but I can’t find the way to add some text.
I’ve tried with this code
.site-footer {
contentinfo: mycontent;
}
But I guess it’s not the right code since it doesn’t work. 🙂

But regarding the font size and colour, does it work?
Yeah, it works, sorry if I didn’t write (it’s difficult to me writing in english, and sometimes i forget things to write :))
When changing the style/presentation of your site, you can use CSS. However, when you need to add new content, this requires modifying the theme’s template files with your child theme.
What you can do is copy the “footer.php” file from Founder into your Founder Child theme. Once you have a copy of the footer.php file in your child theme, your child theme’s version will be loaded instead.
Then you can modify the footer.php file in your child theme with whatever new content you want.
Done. Thank you Ben for your help.
