I am trying to edit out the Quick Links and other Footer links so that I can install some widgets in that area that I created with Static Blocks. I cannot find where the links are located. I have tried all the pages that were default installations, same with Static blocks. I cannot find the links in the XML in the footer file.
I am a PHP developer, but brand new to Magento. It's driving me nuts that I cannot find these links and why my widget content aren't being added to the Footer section. Can someone please help? Every piece of Footer Links content I found on the Internet refers to Magento 1.7, which has a Footer Links page installed. Magento 1.9 doesn't have a page like that.
I loaded Magento 1.9 on my computer using XAMPP.

I've answered a similar question before, here:
Changing the footer in magento theme
Just so this is a proper answer though, the footer for the 1.9 RWD theme is declared in
app/design/frontend/rwd/default/layout/page.xml
, the blocks are namedfooter_links
andfooter_links2
.You can get rid of them entirely by creating a
local.xml
(best practice as opposed to just editing page.xml) file in the layout folder and putting this in it:Inside that reference node you can also add your own blocks or widgets. Welcome to the world of Magento!
