In this post I am going to explain how to add custom links in footer in Magento 2.

Here, I am using my custom module – Ht_Mymodule

First you need to add default.xml file in your extension and add below code in it.

File Path: app/code/Ht/Mymodule/view/frontend/layout/default.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="footer_links">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link" name="custom-link">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string">About Us</argument>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">about-us</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

Now if you want to add links from template file then add below code in default.xml

<referenceBlock name="footer_links">
	<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link" name="custom-link-template" template="Ht_Mymodule::footer-links.phtml" after="-" />
</referenceBlock>

Next to that, create footer-links.phtml template file.

File Path: app/code/Ht/Mymodule/view/frontend/templates/footer-links.phtml

<li class="nav item">
    <a href="#">
        <?php echo __('About Us') ?>
    </a>
</li>

Now, Clear the cache and cache for the result.
