🎨 Storefront Footer Copyright Customization

Replace it with one full-width widget area

Add logo, business address, extra navigation menu or custom HTML

The plugin replaces only the bottom copyright section and remains fully compatible with Storefront’s upper footer widget areas.

FAQ

Does this plugin work with other themes or plugins?

Full compatibility is guaranteed with the Storefront theme.

If your theme uses the standard WordPress sidebar ID “sidebar-1”, the sidebar visibility controls will likely work as well.

However, the footer copyright replacement is specifically built for Storefront and will not work with other themes.

Will it affect my existing footer widgets?

No. The plugin does not modify Storefront’s upper footer widget areas.

As an option, it can replace the default copyright section with one or two additional widget areas:

One full-width column
Or two columns (left and right)

You can use these areas to add logo, text, menus, address or any other widget content.

Do I need coding knowledge?

No. Everything is managed through standard WordPress controls.
