Is there a way to go back to default footer?
-
I use the “Brute” template (which I love!) but in playing with the footer, I messed it up. Is there anyway to restore the default footer?

Hi there @fedorafrench! I’ll be happy to help you with this 😊
Great choice of theme, I love it too!
To restore your footer, you can go to your Front Page Template and add the footer back in manually. Here’s a guide that walks you through how to edit a template:

I also recorded a quick video so you can follow the exact same steps I took:

If you’d prefer to undo all the changes you made to the template, you also have the option to reset it. That’ll bring it back to its default layout:

Feel free to give these steps a try, and let me know how it goes! I’ll be right here if you need any more help.

Just to clarify, I edited the default footer and was hoping there was a way to restore it…

Hi @fedorafrench,
Sure! Based on what you mentioned and what I see, it seems you might have edited the footer pattern. To restore it, you can follow the steps in this guide to revert the footer pattern to a previous version: Restore a Previous Version of Pattern Revisions.
Alternatively, you can select a new footer pattern from the block pattern section as well. Check this guide for reference: Block Patterns.
Let me know how it goes!
