How do you edit the footer in a WordPress blog?

Question:

I have self hosted wordpress blog and wanted to add a privacy policy down the bottom of the page, and cant figure out how to do it… I dont know any php, so a simple explanation or guide would be very much appreciated…

Answer:

Here is the easiest way without having to get into the PHP code.

Install and activate plugin called HeFo: Header and Footer

Then in the WordPress Dashboard, go to Appearance: Header and Footer. There you will find 2 blocks where you can insert code. In the footer block, you can insert the code shown below. Replace “YourWebsite.com” with your domain name and make sure you have pages created with the same names as shown in the links, or adjust them however you want.

To grab the code, hover your mouse over the code and click on the little <> View Source icon when it appears. It will open the code in a text editor and you can copy it from there.
