How to Add Pages to the Footer in WordPress

Here’s the clean way to do it on WordPress (works great with Kadence too). You’ll do two things: make sure the pages exist, then add them to a footer menu, or drop them into the footer widgets.

Step 1: Confirm the pages exist

Go to Pages → All Pages
Confirm you have:
- Disclosure
- Editorial Process
- Privacy Policy
If any are missing: Pages → Add New, publish them.

Option A: Add them via a Footer Menu (best and simplest)

This is the most “standard” method and usually the easiest to manage later.

Go to Appearance → Menus
Click Create a new menu
- Name it something like Footer Links
Under Add menu items, select your three pages:
- Disclosure
- Editorial Process
- Privacy Policy
Click Add to Menu
Drag to reorder them how you want
Click Save Menu
Now assign the menu to the footer:
- In the Menu Settings section, look for Display location
- Check the box for Footer (wording varies: “Footer Menu”, “Footer Navigation”, “Footer 1”, etc.)
Save again

If you do not see a Footer display location

That means your footer isn’t set to use a menu in that location, or Kadence is using footer widgets instead. Use Option B below.

Option B: Add them via Kadence Footer Widgets (very common)

Kadence often uses widget areas for the footer.

Go to Appearance → Widgets
Look for something like:
- Footer Column 1, Footer Column 2, etc.
In the column you want, click + and add:
- Navigation Menu widget (then select your “Footer Links” menu you created), or
- Add links manually with a Paragraph / Custom HTML block (not my favorite, but works)
