I am building a theme based of the ‘Dev’ template and can’t for the life of me find where the footer template/ block is actually declared. I can’t see it in the Elements editor?? Where should I be looking?
To clarify: Did you mean the footer elements? The footer elements in Dev template are added as a widgets placed on footer widget 1 to 4 and footer bar.
As for the actual generated DOM structure of the footer bar, it is written within the theme’s footer.php
