I’ve been trying to develop my own theme and in need of some help regarding adding content to the footer.

I need to add some text to the footer which could be changed via the admin panel. I know about the Advanced Custom Fields Plugin, but I would like to learn how this can be done without using it.

I’ve seen theme’s where the footer(or other) changes can be made via Appearance > Theme Options section in the wordpress dashboard and I too would like to do the same.

I would be grateful if anyone could provide me a link or help me start with the process of doing so.

Regards,
Vinith Almeida

  1. You can install the OptionTree plugin for WordPress. Then you can set your theme settings via the plugin, and then when you come to the footer section, you can use the ot_get_option() function to use the user value.

    You can also watch this video for more help : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS0WlHITVfc or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9JQJAu0X30

    You can always register your own code for an option page that can contains options for your theme, but this requires deeper knowledge of the WordPress.
