[Support request] Copyright Footer Issue

[Grayson]

Hi, for some reason I lost my footer menu and it was replaced with the pre-made GP copyright footer. I originally activated the GP copyright add-on, but then turned it off as I would rather use the footer menu/pages I created, but now the copyright remains even though I have deactivated the copyright add-on. How do I get remove the copyright footer and go back to my created footer? Thanks for the help!

Hi there,

Not 100% sure if I understand.

The page you linked isn’t using GP.

Can you link me to the page that’s using GP so I can see the issue?

If you want to remove the footer site-wide, you can create a layout element for it:

Hi, you can use this link: https://woocommerce-90144-1115380.cloudwaysapps.com/

Otherwise, I can send you a screenshot?

Essentially, I you can see the copyright has replaced my footer with the pages I would like to be in the footer.

Thanks!

Essentially, I you can see the copyright has replaced my footer with the pages I would like to be in the footer.

Sorry I’m not getting this. The copyright is exactly where it should be.

What are you looking to do?

You can upload a screenshot using a service like this if it helps:

I think there is some confusion. I don’t want the copyright in the footer. I deactivated the copyright add-on, but it is still here. I would like the footer I previously had, with my “terms & conditions” pages etc.

[Leo]

So you simply want to remove the footer?

If so did you try my suggestion here with the layout element?

Let me know if I’m still missing something 🙂

I am not trying to remove the footer. I have a footer created in customizer>Menus>Footer that includes 5 pages. This used to show up in my footer until I turned on the “copyright” add-on. Since then the footer I created does not appear and is replaced by the copyright footer, even though I deactivated it. I want the footer I created with my 5 pages to appear in the footer, not the copyright default footer.

Which widget area did you add the menu in? The footer bar widget area?

[Grayson]

I didn’t use a widget. I used the Customizer>Menus>Footer and then added my pages there such as “terms & conditions”, “About”, etc. Essentially I want to duplicate what I have on my live (www.movementvault.com) on my staging site linked above. This should be done in Customizer>Menus>Footer?

[Leo]

The” Customizer>Menus>Footer” section simply allows you to create a menu, doesn’t actually place it somewhere.

Try this method:

And set the footer bar alignment to center.
