But I'm going to show you the most common area you can find it. This is for relatively advanced users.

First step, make sure your template doesn't let you edit the footer via a module position.
Second step, BACK UP YOUR SITE. Just incase you make a mistake at least you can fix it.
Third Step, Go into your FTP backend of your site

  • Double click the "httpdocs folder"
  • Double click the "templates folder"
  • Double click the name of your "template folder" ***the one you installed
  • Download and save the index.php page, or if there is a footer.php file download it
  • Hardcode your footer into this area with proper HTML

Hope this helps.

What is the htaccess.txt file?
It is part of the Joomla core download. You can find it in the root folder of your Joomla site.




How to change the file:
1)Login to your Joomla site backend via FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
2)Locate the Joomla Site root folder ie(httpdocs)
3)Locate the "htaccess.txt" file
3)Rename the file to ".htaccess"
4)Login to Joomla backend, and click on "Site" from the menu and go to "Global Configuration".
5)Under the "Site" tab in the "Global Configuration" change the "Use Apache mod_rewrite" to YES
6)Confirm both the "Search Engine Friendly URLs" & "Use Apache mod_rewrite" are set to yes and SAVE





Now your URL's should read clean (http://www.yoursite.com/information.html) instead of the previous (http://www.yoursite.com/index.php/information.html)
