Adding text to the footer

Which links would you like in your footer? If the links are similar to your navigation menu at the top, you could re-use the function that creates that menu.

I want to put ….
HOME OUR MISSION GMP GOALS LIFESTYLE.. etc… all the headings I have in my Header Menu.

Look at the function which generates your menu, in header.php.
It may be something like wp_nav_menu().

Use that function in your footer.

Hello AN,
In the header.php….. the only place I see the “wp_nav_menu().” code is in a paragraph that reads….

<?php /* Our navigation menu. If one isn't filled out, wp_nav_menu falls back to wp_page_menu. The menu assiged to the primary position is the one used. If none is assigned, the menu with the lowest ID is used. */ ?>
				<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
			</div><!-- #access -->
		</div><!-- #masthead -->
	</div><!-- #header -->

	<div id="main">

Confused…. as always….. where do I get that code?

Copy this

wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) );

And paste it into footer.php (wherever you want)

Hi did AN….
getting closer….

will you take a look…. crazy huh!

Try placing the function in this

<div id="footer" role="contentinfo">
 ...
</div>

OOOPS …. lost my Footer!

This is what I did…

<?php
/* Always have wp_footer() just before the closing </body>
* tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins, which
* generally use this hook to reference JavaScript files.
*/
</div>
<div id=”footer” role=”wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container_class’ => ‘menu-header’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’ ) );
“>
…
</div>
?>
</body>
</html>

Try

<div id="footer" role="contentinfo">
 <?php
  wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) );
 ?>
</div>

No luck….

see the complete code ….

</div><!– #wrapper –>

<?php
/* Always have wp_footer() just before the closing </body>
* tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins, which
* generally use this hook to reference JavaScript files.
*/
</div>
<div id=”footer” role=”contentinfo”>
<?php
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container_class’ => ‘menu-header’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’ ) );
?>
</div>
?>
</body>
</html>

Did I delete or add something extra????

I can’t tell what you have and haven’t deleted.

I made a mess…… yikes

Hello Andrew Nevins,

I got my “footer” back. YAHOO!

I placed the code
<div id=”footer” role=”contentinfo”>
…
( ‘container_class’ => ‘menu-header’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’ ) );
</div>
<div id=”colophon”>

in and I see small type….

is there a next step?

Wrap the function with <?php ?>
E.g

<?php
  wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) );
 ?>

will try…. thank you!
