How can I add a link to my site terms and conditions to the footer of my pages? Using Sela Theme

Hi there, my suggestion would be to put that into a text widget in your footer widget area. CSS cannot be used to add linked text into a theme.

We can put a copyright statement or other plain text in the footer with CSS, but not links.

Hello,
The current footer content is linked text so why am I unable to put in links to my privacy policy and terms and conditions? I’d rather not put them in my footer widget area.

If there’s really no way around this, I’ll settle for having my copyright statement in here, could you send me CSS code I need to use please?
Thanks!

To add a link, it would have to be done in the theme php script/HTML files, and we cannot edit those at WordPress.com since this is a multi-user environment where we all share the same WordPress and theme files.

CSS is a styling document used by browsers to position and style the elements of a web page. It cannot be used to add HTML links.

In some instances, you can put the link into the text widget and then we can use CSS to move that link down into the footer area, but it all depends on how the theme is structured. Also, we sometimes have to limit the move to only certain browser/screen widths since to keep things from getting all confused in the footer and overlaying things.

To add a copyright statement to Sela, add the to your custom CSS. I’ve made the existing credits a little darker and increased the font size and make it bold for the copyright statement.
```
.site-info, .site-info a {
    color: #888;
}
.site-info::before {
    content: "This is my Copyright";
    display: block;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 120%;
    color: #fff;
}
```
