Footer question

[Tim Appleton]

Bill:

I hate to ask, but there is a concern our compliance has regarding the footer. It currently references “Organized Themes” at the bottom. Is there any way to remove “Organized Themes” from the footer text? Thank you.

[Bill Robbins]

Hi Tim,

You can change that. In the footer section of the Theme Options page there is a field for footer text. You can enter whatever you’d like it to say and it will be displayed instead of the default.

If you run into trouble, let me know.

Have a great week,
Bill

[Tim Appleton]

Yep, still there for some reason.

[Bill Robbins]

You’re welcome to edit the footer.php file directly and add your own text manually. This is the section you would replace with your own copy:

<?php if(of_get_option('footer_text', $single = true) != ""){ ?>
			
				<p><?php echo of_get_option('footer_text'); ?></p>
				
			<?php } else { ?>
			
				<p>
					<a href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>/">&copy; <?php echo date('Y'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a>&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.organizedthemes.com" rel="nofollow">Organized Themes</a>
				</p> 
			
			<?php } ?>

Take care

Not an expert here… This is what I see, and it looks unlike what you have above. Where, and what would the changes be? Thank you.

Hey Tim, my code is inside what you sent over. That’s the section you would want to replace with whatever text you want there.

[Bill Robbins]

Apologies there. I was thinking of a different theme. I believe we had been speaking about Agency recently. Incidentally if you have to insert code into the forum, please click the code button before inserting it and then click it afterwards. It’ll display the code instead of having it render as code normally would with the browser.

Foundation is a bit different. Replace this:

			<?php if(of_get_option('footer_text', $single = true) != ""){ ?>
			
				<p><?php echo of_get_option('footer_text'); ?><br /><a rel="nofollow" title="Made With Organized Themes" class="footer-credits" href="http://www.organizedthemes.com">Organized Themes</a></p>
				
			<?php } else { ?>
			
				<p>&copy; <?php echo date('Y'); ?> <a href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a><br /><a class="footer-credits" rel="nofollow" title="Made with Organized Themes" href="http://www.organizedthemes.com">Organized Themes</a></p> 
			
			<?php } ?>

with the text you’d like to have there. Save your changes and that should do it.

Take care,
Bill

[Tim Appleton]

just the text and nothing more?

[Bill Robbins]

Just text should work fine.

[Tim Appleton]

So I took out all the code, and replaced all of the code with just the text I needed. It worked for the footer, but for some reason, the front page slider was also removed.

[Bill Robbins]

Sounds like a bit too much was taken out then. The script that runs the slideshow is loaded at the very bottom of the page in this line:

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

There is another way to do this. Instead of editing the file, why don’t you give this a try:

1. In your WordPress dashboard click on the Appearance section and choose Theme Options.
2. From the tabs at the top, choose the Styling one.
3. Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and add this:

   
   a.footer-credits {
   	display: none;
   }
   

4. Save your changes.

[Tim Appleton]

thank you. That did it. Thank you for sticking with me.

[Bill Robbins]

Glad to hear that did the trick. Happy to help out too.
