# Customizing Footer

## **Customizing the Footer**

**Files:** `src/config/config.toml`, `src/config/menu.<lang>.json`, `src/i18n/<lang>.json`, `src/layouts/components/global/Footer.astro` · **Skill level:** Beginner

The footer contains following essential elements that you can customize using the links below:

- **Logo** – [Update your site's logo](../site-identify-logo/)
- **Social Links** – [Configure site-wide social links](../social/)
- **Footer Menus** – [Customize navigation menus](../menus/)
- **Subscription** – [Set up the subscription form](../subscription/)
- **Ask AI row** – [Ask AI links and the llms files](../../features/ai-links-llms/). The component is `global/footer/FooterAi.astro`, and `footer` under `[settings.pageActions]` turns it off.
- **Copyright & Footer Description** – See below
- **Theme Credit** – See below

In the Tina edition, you edit these in **Site settings**, **Menus**, **Social links**, and **Interface labels** at `/admin/`. In the Sanity edition, they are in the Studio: **Site settings** below the languages, which also holds the social links, and **Menus** and **Interface labels** under each language.

Upstart has one footer layout.

### Customizing Copyright Text and Footer Description
To modify the copyright text and footer description, locate the appropriate i18n file for the desired language. Update it as follows:

#### Example: English (`en.json`)
```json {6-7}
// src/i18n/en.json
"footer": {
  "quickLinks": "Quick Links",
  "legal": "Legal",
  "resources": "Resources",
  "description": "Upstart is a San Francisco-based design and technology company founded in 2016. Their mission is to democratize design by making professional branding tools accessible to everyone.",
  "copyright": "Copyright {{ year }} / All Rights Reserved By Upstart"
}
```

#### Example: French (`fr.json`)
```json {6-7}
// src/i18n/fr.json
"footer": {
  "quickLinks": "Liens",
  "legal": "Juridique",
  "resources": "Ressources",
  "description": "Upstart est une entreprise de design et de technologie basée à San Francisco, fondée en 2016. Leur mission est de démocratiser le design en rendant les outils de branding professionnels accessibles à tous.",
  "copyright": "Droits d'auteur {{ year }} / Tous droits réservés par Upstart"
}
```

1. Open `src/i18n/en.json`, then the same file for each of your other languages, such as `src/i18n/fr.json` and `src/i18n/ar.json`.
2. Locate the `"description"` & `"copyright"` values in the `"footer"` section.
3. Update those values. `quickLinks`, `resources`, and `legal` are the headings of the footer menu columns.

In the Tina and Sanity editions, these are under **Footer** in **Interface labels**, in each language.

> Note: A value in `config.toml` replaces the text in every language, so leave these empty unless you want that.

```toml
# src/config/config.toml
[settings]
  footerDescription = "" # Leave empty to use the text in each language file

  [settings.copyright]
    enable = true
    text   = "" # Leave empty to use the text in each language file
```

### Theme Credit
The theme credit is the small line at the bottom of the footer, and the last line of `llms.txt`. The component is `global/footer/FooterCredit.astro`. You can edit it in `config.toml`:

```toml
# src/config/config.toml
[settings.themeCredit]
  enable = true
  text   = "..." # The part in [brackets] becomes the link
  url    = "..."
```

In the Tina and Sanity editions, it is **Site settings > Settings > Theme Credit**.
