FAQ
-
Does this plugin work with other themes or plugins?
-
Full compatibility is guaranteed with the Storefront theme.
If your theme uses the standard WordPress sidebar ID “sidebar-1”, the sidebar visibility controls will likely work as well.
However, the footer copyright replacement is specifically built for Storefront and will not work with other themes.
-
No. The plugin does not modify Storefront’s upper footer widget areas.
As an option, it can replace the default copyright section with one or two additional widget areas:
- One full-width column
- Or two columns (left and right)
You can use these areas to add logo, text, menus, address or any other widget content.
-
Do I need coding knowledge?
-
No. Everything is managed through standard WordPress controls.
