I know this is really simple however, i am stuck !

I am using the EMERGE theme and need to add the link to the creative website that has developed the store.

I have been able to change the code to replace the POWERED BY SHOPIFY. However, i cannot get it to link to the website.

This is what i have input in the footer code:

Creative by Something In The Black

How do i activate / add the link to ‘Creative by Something In The Black’ ?

Thanks in advance !

Pro tip: Instead of modifying the HTML outright, just define your own powered_by_link by assigning a value, or capturing some HTML. I have this at the top of my footer.liquid.

{% capture powered_by_link %}
<a href="https://www.bubbleup.net">Empowered by Bubble Up</a>
{% endcapture %}

This has several advantages:

  1. In the Debut theme, there are two places where the powered_by_link gets output. Keeping it updated in two places is just a pain…
  2. When manually merging in code changes (like when there’s a new version of your theme), it’s way more obvious that this is custom stuff that belongs in your custom theme. If it’s just HTML and variables, it can be confusing to know what belongs where.
  3. The Debut footer template is already a cluttered mess. It’s way easier to know your syntax is right when you aren’t 6 indentation levels deep. “[I]f you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you’re screwed anyway, and should fix your program.” - Linus Torvalds (creator of Linux)

Thank you !

Is the capture inputted at the first line of the liquid ? If not, where do you put the capture ?
I am working in Emerge theme.

I assume my capture would be the following:

{% capture powered_by_link %}
<a href="https://www.somethingintheblack.com">Creative by Something In The Black</a>
{% endcapture %}
