How can I add an image to my theme's footer and site using custom liquid?

Technical Q&A
1

I am really new to websites and customising themes. Currently we are using the free theme Craft.

I wanted to ask if it was firstly possible to add an image to the bottom the the text in the footer, and if so how?

I also wanted to ask if I wanted to add an image to the site using the custom liquid section is that possible and also how? The image would be uploaded from my computer, and is not linked to a URL or anything (im not sure if I explained that right then).

Any suggestions or advice would be great, thanks.

hey, R_Aquel, good evening.

To add an image to the bottom of the text in the footer, you’ll need to adjust the theme’s files for that, so you’ll need to work with code.

Also, if you want to add an image to the site without using a section that contains an uploaded image, and using a custom liquid section, then, yes, you’d need to upload the image somewhere.

For both cases, you’d need to deal with the code to achieve what you desire. I can’t tell you a specific code because your demands aren’t currently very specific

Custom liquid sections can accept and output html

so just use an html image tag, or use liquid image objects and filters

Thank you, I wasn’t brave enough to tackle the coding for the footer, but I managed to use the links above to add custom content and got the image onto the website so thank you :slightly_smiling_face:
