footer and blog not working proper

  • hi all,

    two problems here. not had them before, so no idea whats wrong. i want to re-install wordpress again and migrate everything over, but its a client website… not a good idea ??

    footer problem:
    the front page of the website has the actual code which is stashed in the footer, with the correct links. go onto any other page though, and it shows old code. whenever i try to update from the appearance tab, it doesn`t seem to want to work, so technically i have two footers here…

    blog problem:
    when ever i try to move the blog template to a specified one, containing the posts and the actual design of the website, it wont change it, even though the template attached is specified as different. if i change the blog address or wordpress address it messes up. ive speficied a page as the blog page on the settings, so no idea whats going wrong.

    any ideas on this?

    thanks ??

  • Can you give us a URL?

    Also, did the theme originally have a footer or did you add it in? Perhaps you’re updating footer.php but the code for the footer in, say archives.php, is copied and pasted in to there rather than calling:

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    as will be called from index.php.

    Try checking the bottoms of each file (ie. bottom of archives, single, page, 404 … .php) to see how the footer is being called…

    <?php get_footer(); ?> is being used for each page, and the footer page contains the links.

    Wierd. Its the same footer code for each file nall.

    wierdly the footer just ‘sorted itself out’. i was setting up a new account as a fix to see if it worked better after a refresh, then as i copy/pasted the code over, the footer just seemed to work…

    now it’s the blog which won’t update. the page template i mean…

    if you still need the footer code, let me know ??
