Remove the current image and change it if needed. Lower, check footer copyright code. That is one more interesting moment that could be confusing. %%year%% is not literary displayed this way.

Usually, this widget area includes <strong>social icons<\/strong>, <strong>footer menu<\/strong>, <strong>contact information<\/strong> and some <strong>custom text<\/strong>. We set 4 columns layout, as you may clearly see on the print screen. Right under the widgets, you can find <strong>footer layout<\/strong> section.
