    Hi,

    When I try to update the footer credits, I get the following error:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home/content/74/11716374/html/wp-content/themes/customizr/parts/class-main-footer.php on line 81

    Doing it in class.footer.php in this bit:

    [ Moderator note: please wrap code in backticks or use the code button. ]

    <div class="span4 credits">
	    	<?php
		    	$credits =  sprintf( '<p> · ? %1$s <a href="%2$s" title="%3$s" rel="bookmark">%3$s</a> · Designed by %4$s ·</p>',
					    esc_attr( date( 'Y' ) ),
					    esc_url( home_url() ),
					    esc_attr(get_bloginfo()),
					    '<a href="'.TC_WEBSITE.'">Themes & Co</a>'
				);
				echo apply_filters( 'footer_credits', $credits );
			?>
		</div>
		<?php
    }

    Trying to replace this: href=”‘.TC_WEBSITE.'”>Themes & Co with my stuff but it won’t work.

    Anyone else having the same issue?

  • HI Gscohier,

    If you want to change the text, you can do this one:

    ‘a href=”‘.TC_WEBSITE.'”>Your-Site.com'</a

    And to change the URL, please open the style.css file and find out this code (a the top of the file, line 6):

    Author URI: https://www.themesandco.com/

    Change the url become your site URL

    Is this something I can do in the child’s theme css of does it have to be from the parent one?

    HI Gscohier,

    this trick cannot be done with child theme, you have to modify the parent theme since child theme also calling the parent theme style.css (if you modify the child, the author URI from parent theme will replace your modification).

    But, for the footer you can do it at child theme.

    It’s work! Thanks!
    Previously, it was all done in the class.footer.php.

    It’s a bit annoying since once I hand over to the client and they update the theme, our details will disappear…

    Is there a way around this?

    Don’t you have the solution already? What stops you from applying it to a Child Theme?

    I’d like the credits to remain to our company even when the theme is updated.
    Currently need to do manually each time there’s an update. ??

    Why can’t you apply that fix to your Child Theme?

    the child theme only has the style css sheet in it.

    Which file was it you modified? class-main-footer.php?

    (@gscohier)

    yes. ??

    Is there something which could go into the style sheet css instead so it doesn’t get over-written?

    Make a new folder in your Child Theme and call it “parts”.

    Then copy ‘class-main-footer.php’ from the parent theme and paste it into the “parts” folder of your Child Theme.

    For any PHP file, with the exception of functions.php, you want to modify in future you just copy it over from your parent theme and paste it into your Child Theme. You’ll also need to retain the directory structure if that exists in the parent theme.

    I must be missing something.

    I’ve gone into the files, created a “parts” folders under Customizr-child.
    Made a copy of the class-main-footer.php and made the necessary amends but there not showing on the site.
    It’s still shows “Theme & Co”….

    Have I missed a step?
