Disable theme JavaScript

Set DISABLE_CUSTOM_THEME_JAVASCRIPT to True if you want to disable js/clean-blog.min.js in case it affects forms and input fields.

User defined footer

Define FOOTER_INCLUDE in pelicanconf.py to insert a custom footer text instead the default "Powered by Pelican". The value is a template path. You also need to define the EXTRA_TEMPLATES_PATHS setting. Example:

FOOTER_INCLUDE = 'myfooter.html'
EXTRA_TEMPLATES_PATHS = [os.path.dirname(__file__)]
