Add Personalised Attribution in HTML Widget Content
After selecting the HTML/JavaScript widget, you have to add your personalized attribution in the HTML content.
You can write your own HTML code there, or you can just copy the following HTML code and add it. Don't forget to add the URL and your website's title in the code before adding it to the widget.
<p align="center">© <a href="Website URL">Website Name</a>. All Rights Reserved</p>Drag the HTML/JavaScript Widget to Footer Section
In this step, you just have to simply drag the HTML/JavaScript widget, which you just added, and in which you wrote the new attribution to the Footer section of the Layout.
