Child theme & Footer

@acub I tried your code in the functions.php file in my child directory for the parent theme called Make, but it didn’t work. Cleared cache, refreshed, etc.

Is it possible that the tc_credits_display function works only for the themes made by Themes & Co?

Or is tc_credits_display a universal function applying to all themes all the time?

If it requires a different function to reference the credits in the “Make” theme, how would I find that function?

@private Guy, Please post a new thread. CZr was running on 3.0.* 7 months ago and we are now on 3.1.15. And we don’t see much of @acub these days.

Explain what you want to achieve and add a link to your site

Yes, you guessed right. It will not work with your theme.

@rdellconsulting thank you. I started a new thread but haven’t heard back.

It’s already helpful to know that tc_credits_display is the wrong function. Thanks.

My next question would be: is it as simple as finding the right function and plugging that into the code provided above, or might a new theme, or a new version, require a whole new piece of code to override existing credits?

It will be a whole new piece of code and there may not even be a “hook” to hang a function off. The theme authors want you to upgrade to a plus version to get rid of it: In appearance > customize > footer, it says “Want to remove the theme byline from your website’s footer? Upgrade to Make Plus.“.

I had a look at the “Make” code, but the theme is very different to other themes I’ve used, so I couldn’t figure it out, sorry.

@electricfeet thank you so much for looking into this. I may just go with a theme from T&C.

If there’s different credits-override code for themes from each designer, wouldn’t it’d be groovy to have a definitive list of themes/theme-designers and which code works for what?

Is there such a list? (Even if it doesn’t include them all, like Make). One can wish.

Thanks again.

Keep wishing! Unless someone wrote a plugin, there would be too high an overhead trying to keep it up-to-date with little benefit. Remember Czr costs $zilch. Better that Nic focuses on enhancements.
