Hi Sangam,

I am using the free version of Flash Theme and tried using this snippet for my footer.php. I was wondering, do I need to install a plugin before editing the footer.php? I ended up just making the #bottom.footer to: display:none; and then adding the Headline widget from SiteOrigin to the footer. I managed to "customize" it to have the company's name and 2018 on there, but I am not sure if that would affect the SEO for the site. Or is it because I am using SiteOrigin that the snippet doesn't work for me? Thanks!
