Andrew MisplonKeymasterHi Oda 🙂
You should be able to add a link in the footer text field using HTML, have you tried that yet?

odalykkeParticipantHello Andrew!
Yes, I know how to ad a link using HTML, but I am fairly new to WordPress and not familiar with where to put the code. I understand it has to go in the footer.php, but beyond that I’m totally blank.September 8, 2017 at 1:52 pm #7719
Andrew MisplonKeymasterSorry for not explaining further.
All WordPress themes completely overwrite their own files during updates. Please, don’t edit the theme files at a code level, those changes will be lost if you update the theme.
At
Appearance > Customize > Theme Settings > Footer > Footer
Text you can insert HTML to insert a link. Please, see: https://purothemes.com/documentation/polestar-wordpress-theme/customizer-theme-settings/footer/#heading-footer-text. There I include an example.If you’d like to remove the attribution link, you’d need to install a child theme for Polestar, copy
footer.php
from the parent to the child theme and then customise the file as required.September 8, 2017 at 2:07 pm #7720
odalykkeParticipantThat worked perfectly! Really great that you can put code directly into the text field for minor customisation like this. Thank you so much for the help 🙂
