adding a footer in Twenty Ten

Can I add a thick footer bar

Do you want the thickness the same as your navigation?

Do you mean navigation as the top Menu bar?
I would like it to be 6x thicker so I can add an image background…
but I also want to use the navigation form the top menu bar.

I would like it to be 6x thicker so I can add an image background…

In your child theme stylesheet, add to the bottom of the file;

#footer {
 height: 228px;
 background-image: url("/wp-content/themes/yourTheme/yourDirectory/yourImage.yourFileExtension);
}

but I also want to use the navigation form the top menu bar.

In your child theme footer.php file, use the same function that generates the navigation from the header.php file (probably wp_nav_menu().

THANK YOU THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH.

I know I have asked this question in the past but….
WHY??? is the footer image repeating (and the wrapper image under it also).
I just want it to appear once.

Background images will repeat automatically, it is the default position.
If you do not want this, you can specify-so with CSS.

Dear Andrew Nevins,
I placed in this code

#footer {
height: 228px;
background-image: url(https://www.thewowshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/cmpfooter.png);background-no repeat:no repeat-y;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
}and it did not stop the repeat.
How did I screw up the code?

regards,
Marie
