KB User's Guide - Settings Tab - Site Footers

The footer for your internal and external live sites can be customized from the Settings tab. This document outlines the steps to do so.

By default, the footer on your internal and external sites includes a copyright line, and UW–Madison KB sites also display a link to the UW–Madison privacy notice. Your internal site footer additionally shows your KB username, along with Favorites and Sign out links.

You can add optional information to either footer as needed—for example, a mailing address, a contact email for questions or feedback, or links to related websites.

Note: you cannot remove the displayed username, "Favorites" link, or "Sign out" link from your internal site, as those are added automatically.

  1. In the KB Admin Tools, go to the Settings tab, then select the Footers link in the side navigation. The Site Footers page will appear.

  2. On the Site Footers page, you’ll see separate fields for your internal and external sites. Enter the content you want to display in the field for the appropriate site. You can add plain text or format your content using HTML.

    If you want to format your footer content but aren’t comfortable writing HTML, you can create a new document and use the body editor to format your text. Then select the Source code < > button in the editor toolbar to view and copy the HTML that corresponds to your formatting.
