 * Hello,
 * Is there a way to add some html code between the wrapper div and the </body> 
   tag ?
    In which file should i work to do this if it’s possible ?
 * Thanks.

 * Of course you can 🙂
 * The </body> should be in your footer.php
 * You can of course also make a new widget area for your footer, by editing your
   functions.php
 *     ```
       // Hook on the initialization of widgets
       add_action( 'widgets_init', 'MaTheRyS_widgets_init' );
   
       function MaTheRyS_widgets_init() {
         // Footer widget
         register_sidebar( array(
           'name' => __( 'Footer Widget Area', 'MaTheRyS' ),
           'id' => 'footer-widget-area',
           'description' => __( 'The footer widget area', 'MaTheRyS' ),
           'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
           'after_widget' => '</li>',
           'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
           'after_title' => '</h3>',
           ) );
       }
       ```
   
 * And putting some code in your footer.php:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'footer-widget-area' ) ) : ?>
       <div style="width:100%; background: pink;">
         <ul class="xoxo">
           <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'footer-widget-area' ); ?>
         </ul>
       </div>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * ps. I didnt try that code, so it might give an error or two 😛
    If you widgetize
   your footer, you can pull an text/html box in the widget area, rss feed or what
   not. Ps. of course you should not style the div in the html, rather use css files.

 * Thanks a lot.
    I didn’t find the </body> tag in the footer.php, it’s why i was
   asking this.
 * By inspecting a bit more the theme, several tag were missing in fact, like some
   closing </div> and </body>.
 * And i understood what’s happened : i don’t remember where i found it exactly,
   but it should be a modified theme with copyright removed…
    I’ve just spend 2 
   hours to find the original one and get back the copyrights.
 * Hopefully, it’s a free theme and copyright back is enought to use it legaly. 
   I would be really angry if it was a paid theme, as i’ve spend a lot of time working
   on customize it.
 * I can’t understand why there is no way to verify the legemity of a theme, like
   a mandatory UID that we can verify on a official wordpress site 🙁
 * One more times, thanks a lot 😉
