Add Custom Footer to Thesis Theme
You have already gone through and removed the Thesis Attribution Link, however would now like to put your own links or text into the thesis theme footer.
This is easily achieved using the powerful hooks – check out my footer to get an idea of the finished look.
How to Add Custom Footer to Thesis Theme
Thesis uses Hooks in order to avoid modifying the core theme files, so the steps to Add Custom Footer to Thesis Theme is very simple:
1. Click on Thesis Options
2. Select Custom File Editor
3. Select custom_functions.php from the drop down menu and click on the Edit selected file button.
4. Scroll down to the end of the window and add the following to a new line:
function add_custom_footer () {
?>
<p>
<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com">Your Domain</a> |
<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/about/">About Your Domain</a> |
<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap/">Sitemap</a>
(<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml">xml</a>)
</p>
<?php
}
add_action('thesis_hook_footer', 'add_custom_footer');
5. Save and View your updated website – now containing all of your own links. Of course you can add additional links or text and even change the way that it’s positioned.

Hi, I noticed this post title from the Commentluv link when I was posting on Sean Rasmussen’s blog.
Thankyou very much for the code to set up a custom footer. Works a treat using the top block of code in Thesis Openhook Plugin footer section. That and a couple of site map plugins has got my blog all mapped out now.
Cheers,
Tom
Hi Tom,
Glad it offered you some value. I have seen you around Sean’s blog and your site is nice and slick
I wish you had this posted months ago, Cemil, when I was working out how to do the same thing on my Thesis.
