I have read and followed the instructions on a few websites re: editing WordPress footers. They suggest editing the footer in the theme customize options, the menu customise section etc., but none of those options are available with the theme we’re using which is an old one.

I’ve also edited the footer.php file at /home/azam/public_html/azam/wp-content/themes/bloggingpro_wr/footer.php but the footer text there is different to that on the website and editing it doesn’t update the footer on the website.

I’ve searched for all files with the word “foot” or “footer” in them, but none of them have the footer text. Same with the other php files in the Theme’s folder at wp-content/themes/bloggingpro_wr

Any advice on what I can edit to update the footer text please?

The ‘Inspect Element’ feature in browsers does give an indication of where the text is in the code, but, for the life of me, I can’t find it!

Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate your support.

I have a strange issue that’s occurring on a clients website.

I made some changed to the footer.php file as my client wanted to remove some addresses. So initially I added 3 x “***” and saved just to make sure I was in the right place to make the changes.

I then removed all the addresses and saved to check the footer.

We ended up restoring the original code and keeping the addresses back in.

However, I now have some pages showing the footer with the ***

Some pages show the footer with the addresses removed and

Some pages show all the addresses as it looked originally. It is as if the site has cached changes whilst I was making them and now, I can’t seem to get rid of them. I have deleted cache etc but no joy.

The changes are affecting the way the page is displayed and I need to get it resolved.

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks

On our website https://methods-berlin.com/en/ you can see in the end (footer) the text ” ? 2021 Methods Group Berlin ? Built with GeneratePress”. I would like to replace this text (by “This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Methods Group Berlin.”) but I don’t know how…

What I already tried:
I tried to change the wp footer Customizer as it is explained here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/changing-the-copyright-message/
This does not work because I don’t have the field where I can change the copyright.

When I try to change the text in the Customizer, I can only change the “Impressum” (but not the text under the Impressum).

When I go the theme-editor and try to change the footer.php as it is explained here: https://wpcupidblog.com/change-copyright-footer-text-wordpress/
I can’t find the text I want to change in the code…

Really hope that someone can help and that I’m just doing a dumb mistake..
Thanks!

I have my theme installed on my new site and there are no problems at all. I installed the plugin Show Current Template and there is something off…

1. On my live new site using my theme with no errors, hovering over the Show Current Template admin bar link you can see every template being loaded including template-parts.
2. In my local dev for the site mentioned in #1 directly above, the sidebar and footer show but hovering over the Show Current TEmplate link does not list ANY templates at all.
3. In the local dev that have the content I pulled down with All in One, I see 2 different things for the Show Current Template link:
– 3a) no templates listed for pages that DO have a footer and sidebar
– 3b) template files listed for single.php that do NOT have a sidebar or footer loaded and those files are not listed???

Very confusing. I took some screenshots and loaded them into my media library of one of my sites since I don’t know how else to load an image: https://everyguitarchord.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/problem-with-single.php_.png

NOTE: That link is not the page I need help with!

Any thoughts on why this would happen? I suspect the issue is either:
1. My free theme OceanWP with all their styles and scripts
2. Elementor page builder
3. All the info that was pulled down with All In One Migration, and therefore maybe fully populated databases.

But for the local dev that has no issues, I forget how I did it but I pulled in dummy content from a .XML link and I guess I used the plugin WordPress Importer plugin. So that populated my databases. Why does my live site or local dev with live data data cause this problem? I don’t even know how to start looking for the issue.

My theme has no issues on my new site. I wanted to check it on 1 or both of my other sites. I used All in 1 WP Migration (think that’s the name) to pull down my one site so I thought I would test it locally first. There are a few style problems with pages built with Elementor but otherwise, it looked good. I don’t where to begin…

Using my theme on my localhost with the download of my site, the single blog posts do not have a footer. It’s loading single.php but the footer isn’t there. I can’t remember but I may have built my footer with Elementor, but I’ve since switched to a regular footer with widgets. I’ll be posting a separate issue with my footer.

Then the blog page. I never knew I was supposed to create a blank page called Blog and set that to the posts page. What I did was set my Home page as the static home page and didn’t set anything for the blog page. On my live site, it’s fine – blog page is normal. But the image link above is what I see when I click on the link to the blank Blog page I created and set it to the posts page. All my template pages are loading: archive, category, page, author, front-page but not home.php.

So I uploaded my theme to a site that I will not be keeping. I created a blank Blog page, set it to the posts page but it did not display anything except for the header and footer.

Is there something that each theme has to do to clear out and records from a previously activated theme? I have no idea what to even ask. Why does every page have a footer except single.php? Why won’t home.php load?

I understand that CodeSnippets plugin adds code to the functions.php file. Is there a way to add some snippets to functions.php, some snippets to header.php, and some to footer.php?

I just can’t find how to install the HubSpot WordPress plugin correctly, because I don’t know how to included the “wp_footer function” in the footer.php.

What do I need to modify or use a child theme ?

Thank’s for your ideas and help

M.

I apologise if I have misunderstood what this plugin does however I thought it was used to embed a Divi library item into a theme template file as it says “embed any Divi Library item … inside a php template by using a simple shortcode”.

I would like to use this feature to set a sitewide footer which is to appear on every page rather than the user having to insert a global footer section on each page or select a pre-defined layout.

I have created a layout in my Divi Library using the layout type “section”. I have styled it as I wish for it to appear on the site. The post ID is 1218.
I have therefore inserted the following in my footer.php theme file:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[showmodule id="1218"]'); ?>

It shows the content but no styling at all. The rows and columns are not shown, the background colors, fonts etc are all missing. It is default ugly html in times new roman.

If I insert the exact same global section from the library into the content area on the same page using the divi builder it looks all nice and styled but not the version inserted via shortcode by this plugin in the footer.php file.

I am using the divi builder with a custom blankslate theme. I have also tried with twenty twenty and same issue except it has some twenty twenty styles but still not divi styles in the footer insertion of the layout.

What am I missing?

So the final section of footer.php on my site is :

<i class=”fa fa-chevron-up”></i>

</div><!– #page –>
<?php wp_foots(); ?>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>

This looks like someone has hacked into the site. What do you think?

I will be deleting this line as it is causing a problem, but I have a copy of this file before its deletion.
