Changing the Footers

You can change what appears on the footer of each page by going to the Control Panel > Customizing > Banner, footer, background and top-level page appearance section. You may choose to put your own copyright information or other site contact information in this space.

If you have any HTML tags like <FONT> or <DIV> tags that were opened in the banner and not closed, you'll need to close them in the footer.

The settings here affect every page, unless you have specified a different footer by editing an individual folder or removed the %% footer %% macro call from an individual template.

Some sysops like to use this space to put code for sysop-only macros.

Troubleshooting

My pages don't look right.

• Is your HTML correct?
• Did you place it in the correct spot in the Control Panel?
• Does it appear in the page source correctly?

I have two copies of the Web Crossing logo in the footer.

• Delete the Web Crossing link and logo in the footer so you don't have two. The lower one is actually hard-coded into the free 1T server until it's licensed.
