[Support request] Footer Widget

[Devesh]

Can you please help me on how to manage to get a static widget for disclaimer, affiliate info etc. like this site.

Hi there,

you can use the Footer Widgets. To mimic that site:

1. Go Customizer > Layout > Footer: set Footer Widgets to 3.
2. Customizer > Widgets > Footer Widget 1: + New widget, Choose Custom HTML, Set your Title and enter your content in the field provided.
3. Repeat step 2 for the other 2 Widgets.

Hi David,
I am not able to check execute php. It shows following error:
Unable to execute PHP as DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT is defined. Please help with this.

Hi there,

These couple of articles should explain it:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress#Disable_File_Editing
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/disallow-php-execution/

[Devesh]

So i don’t get this, I need to remove disable file edit from wordpress config

Will this compromise my security, considering it is recommended setting.

Is ther any alternative way to add this author box ?

If some malicious individual gained access to your Admin login, which is very bad to start with, then they could add code that targets the server.

You may want to use one of the many author box plugins available on the WP repo.
Something like:
