CHAPTER 3 —Take Control of the Footer

A step‑by‑step guide to fixing copyright, “Developed by Cridio Studios,” and social icons in ListingPro 3.0

⭐ Introduction — From “Broken” to “Now We Know Where It Lives”

At first, the footer in ListingPro 3.0 looked completely locked:

  • Copyright wouldn’t change
  • “Developed by Cridio Studios” wouldn’t budge
  • Social icons seemed hard‑coded

We tried CubeWP Settings. We tried Theme Builder. Nothing responded.

Then, piece by piece, the real structure revealed itself.

This chapter walks through exactly how we finally took control of the footer—step by step.

⭐ Step 1 — Fixing the copyright in CubeWP settings

The first breakthrough came from here:

Path:

  • CubeWP → Settings → General

Inside this screen, we found:

  • Copyright

At first, it looked like it didn’t work—but that was before we understood the full flow.

✅ What we did

  1. Go to:
    • CubeWP → Settings → General
  2. Find the “Copyright” field.
  3. Enter the desired text, for example:© 2026 ParagonIndiana.com — Proudly serving Paragon, Indiana
  4. Click Save / Update at the bottom.
  5. Refresh the frontend.

✅ Result

The copyright line in the footer updated.

This confirmed:

CubeWP Settings → General controls the copyright text in the footer.

⭐ Step 2 — Editing “Developed by Cridio Studios” and social icons

The second piece of the puzzle was not in Settings—it was in Theme Builder.

Path:

  • CubeWP → Theme Builder → Footer → Classic Two Footer

This is where the visible footer content lives, including:

  • “Developed by Cridio Studios”
  • Social media icons
  • Footer layout/structure

✅ What we did

  1. Go to:
    • CubeWP → Theme Builder
    • Select Footer
    • Open Classic Two Footer
  2. Inside Classic Two Footer, we located:
    • The text: “Developed by Cridio Studios”
    • The social media icons section
  3. We edited:
    • The “Developed by Cridio Studios” line to match our own branding
    • The social icons/links to match our own profiles
  4. Clicked Update / Save in Theme Builder.
  5. Refreshed the frontend.

✅ Result

  • “Developed by Cridio Studios” changed to our own branding.
  • Social icons now reflect our own links.

This confirmed:

CubeWP Theme Builder → Footer → Classic Two Footer controls the visible footer content and social icons.

⭐ Step 3 — Understanding the split control

The footer in ListingPro 3.0 (CubeWP Edition) is controlled in two different places:

1. CubeWP Settings → General

Controls:

  • Copyright text

Does not control:

  • “Developed by Cridio Studios”
  • Social icons
  • Layout

2. CubeWP Theme Builder → Footer → Classic Two Footer

Controls:

  • “Developed by Cridio Studios” (branding line)
  • Social icons
  • Footer layout/content

Does not control:

  • The actual copyright text

This split is not obvious, not documented, and not intuitive—but now it’s mapped.

⭐ Step 4 — The final working setup

After testing and confirming, here’s the correct way to fully control the footer in LP3:

✅ To change the copyright

  • Go to CubeWP → Settings → General
  • Edit the Copyright field
  • Save and refresh

✅ To change “Developed by Cridio Studios” and social icons

  • Go to CubeWP → Theme Builder → Footer → Classic Two Footer
  • Edit the footer text and social icons
  • Save and refresh

Once both are configured, you have:

  • Your own copyright
  • Your own branding line
  • Your own social icons
  • A footer that finally matches your site and your town

⭐ Conclusion — From confusion to a repeatable pattern

What started as:

“Why doesn’t anything in the footer respond?”

turned into a clear, repeatable pattern:

  • Settings → General = copyright
  • Theme Builder → Footer → Classic Two Footer = branding + social + layout

This is exactly the kind of thing that would confuse a new LP3 user for hours.

Now, it’s documented in one place—ListingPro3.com—so the next person doesn’t have to guess.
