 * Hello,
    Any way to have a custom footer that won’t be overwritten if there’s 
   an update? Trying to do this without a child theme.

 * What are you trying to do? If you’re just trying to change colors or fonts, you
   could do that with a custom CSS plugin, but if you’re trying to make large-scale
   changes, you’ll need a child theme to protect your modifications.

 * I’m trying to add some text and a link, that’s all.

 * Your theme supports a footer menu, so you might be able to fake it that way, 
   but it would be better to create a child theme.

 * Hmmm, okay. It is a workaround, not a solution. Thanks for your help!
