Have you dreamed of adding a footer to the Upstart Blogger Modicus theme but just didn’t know how? There’s more than one way to skin a cat they say (who actually says this, I don’t know), but below you will find one way to add a footer to the Modicus theme that I’ve used.
In your WordPress installation, go to your “Theme Editor” and navigate to the “Stylesheet”. There you will find all of the CSS definitions for the Modicus theme. If you go to the CSS definition for “footer”, you’ll notice that it’s pretty bare.
Because this footer CSS is already called in the “footer.php” page, all we need to do is define some actual CSS instead of leaving it blank.
After doing this we get this nifty footer area…(click image for close-up)
You’ll notice that in the footer I’ve added a couple of example links to my blog. You can add any information you’d like. Here’s the code I’ve used…(click image for close up)
By adding some CSS definitions to the footer area of the “Stylesheet”, you can add a footer to the Modicus theme. Learn more about CSS here. You can see a working example of the Modicus theme here.
Another great and very useful tutorial. Thanks a lot.
You’re quite welcome, and thanks for the comment. Stay tuned for more;)
I use the Modicus theme on my blog and I have added a footer before I saw this tutorial and it looks pretty good.
Btw, thanks for the theme. :D
thanks for the GREAT post! Very useful…
Hello and congratulations for your templates but I’ve a problem in the insertion of the footer. Firefox or IE display it in the middle of the page. I can’t put it at the bottom.
Any idea?
Maigret,
I’ve visited the link to your site, can you add the footer and post back so we can test your footer in our browsers? You can contact me via my link and then visiting the contact page.
Mail sent to you.

Hi, i’m having issues with this method of making a footer.
On pages with not much content I have a lot of space. The footer seems to take its 95% margin from the longest page & doesn’t adjust on shorter pages, in IE & FOX..
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Did anyone ever figure out what the issue was with the footer appearing mid-page? I’m having the same issue.
Same problem here. Footer appears in the middle of the page. Someone has a solution? Thanks
Hallo,
same problem here!
My footer appears under the “Welcome to”… title :(
Anybody has a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have used this wonderful theme for my new blog and added a footer to it. Initially, I had the same trouble – the footer would appear in the center of the screen (at the bottom of the viewport, to be precise). After a little tinkering with the css (using float:left on the three columns, wrapping them in a container and adding the footer below this container) I managed to make it stay put at the bottom. If anybody is interested in the details of the css modifications, please let me know.
Hello I am usint this very nice theme and I encountered the same pb the footer is just under “welcome to.” and the style is not the same of the body despite I entered the same criteria in the CSS.
May the autor answer to his fans with a good solution ?
thanks by advance and happy new year ;)
I love your theme!
Finally I’ve found one which is easy to edit…
thanks for the explanation for the footer!! :-)
