LEXBRIDGE ADVISORY — EDITABLE FOOTER UPDATE

Files in this package:
- functions.php             Adds Footer Settings controls to the Customizer and preserves the existing theme functions plus Our People photo controls.
- footer.php                Renders the footer using settings from the Customizer.
- assets/css/footer-customizer.css  Adds responsive footer-column and logo rules without replacing main.css.

INSTALLATION (LOCAL XAMPP)
1. Close or leave WordPress open; open File Explorer.
2. Go to C:/xampp/htdocs/lexbridge/wp-content/themes/lexbridge-advisory/
3. BACK UP your current functions.php and footer.php before replacing them. The package does not replace main.css.
4. Extract this ZIP. Copy the included files into the same relative paths in your theme folder, replacing functions.php and footer.php, and adding assets/css/footer-customizer.css. Do not replace main.css.
5. Open WordPress Admin > Appearance > Customize > Footer Settings.
6. Edit the footer logo, brand tagline, section headings, visibility checkboxes, inquiry button text/link, copyright text, bottom tagline and colors. Click Publish.

OTHER EDITABLE AREAS
- Company Contact Details: change email, phone and address used in the footer.
- Appearance > Menus: edit the links shown in the Explore column. Assign your preferred menu to the Footer Navigation location.
- If no footer logo is uploaded in Footer Settings, the theme will use assets/images/footer-logo.png if that file exists; otherwise it will show the existing text logo.

NOTES
- This updates only the footer implementation and Customizer controls. It does not change the header logo, header navigation or main page layout.
- The theme Customizer offers content, color and visibility controls; it is not a free-form drag-and-drop page builder.
- If your active functions.php contains local changes newer than the source bundled here, compare/merge those changes before replacing it. Keep the backup until you verify the site.
