Footer twentyeleven

You can re-install the theme to revert that change, and any changes you’ve made to the theme.

To avoid losing changes when re-installing the theme, transfer your changes to a Child Theme.

It’s important to keep the default themes, Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven as they are for debugging.

whatever you delete in footer.php (in a child theme of Twenty Eleven), make sure to keep:

</div><!-- #main -->

</div><!-- #page -->

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

</body>
</html>

the html tags are for keeping the site ‘validatable’ – https://validator.w3.org/
and the <?php wp_footer(); ?> is a necessary hook for scripts, etc.

it seems I have a lot to learn and to look up. Should try and do it. Thanks. (Andrew)

Alchymyth: it looks as I have everything you mentioned.
i installed jetpack; may this be the problem??

thanks so much.

the hit counter used to work as well , at the bottom-left of the page and it not showing either. thanks again

Do you have a closing tag for that <script> tag? If you’ve deleted stuff and it’s left open you’ll probably have issues..

I pasted the full footer.php. Is this
</script> the closing tag?, have not got a clue about programming!!!
Fell quite lost.

thanks.
