What Is Divi Footer Editor?
Divi Footer Editor is developed by Divi Space and is an extensions plugin for WordPress specifically optimized for the Divi ecosystem. It belongs to the extensions category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for site customization and design enhancement.
The plugin solves the common frustration of being unable to easily modify the default “Designed by Elegant Themes” footer credits without complex CSS or child theme edits. It is built for designers and site owners who want a professional, branded footer area that assists visitor navigation and reinforces brand identity.
Divi Footer Editor Features
The core feature set of Footer Editor is built around a familiar editing interface that allows for deep customization without technical overhead.
WYSIWYG Editing Console
The plugin provides a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get editor that mimics the standard WordPress classic editor. This allows users to style text, change colors, and manage layouts for the site-wide footer section visually. Users can also enter the code view to add custom HTML or additional CSS if specialized styling is required for unique brand requirements.
Rich Media and Shortcode Support
Beyond simple text changes, the plugin supports the embedding of images and videos directly into the bottom footer bar. It also includes shortcode support for dynamic dating, ensuring your copyright year stays current automatically. This makes Footer Editor a versatile choice for adding contact details, social links, or small promotional banners to the design of your site.
Lightweight Performance
This plugin is designed to be ultra-lightweight, meaning it does not bloat your site’s loading speed or introduce unnecessary scripts. It serves as a targeted solution for a specific design need, making it an efficient alternative to heavy theme builders for simple footer modifications across Divi and Extra themes.
