Configure the main Hasan Majhali Dynamic Footer Year enable or disable setting, owner names, Freelancing Certificate Number, Freelancing Certificate Position, and certificate visibility from the WordPress admin panel under Hasan Majhali Plugins > Hasan Majhali Dynamic Footer Year. The certificate position is measured in pixels from the left in LTR and from the right in RTL.
Freelancing Certificate Display:
Enter an optional Freelancing Certificate Number to display beside the Freelancing Certificate logo.
