Harmonic Template Footer

Hi there!
You can edit the footer be going to the footer.php file here you will find the “Proudly powered by WordPress”. You can change this into what you want.

Get back to me if you need any more help ??

Hey! Unfortunately for me any changes made inside the footer.php code does not affect anything, even if I delete all the code inside it…

Which footer.php are you editing? The one inside your theme folder?

You need to make a child theme and copy the footer.php over to the child theme. Modify the footer.php after that and it should work.

I see… I will search up how to make child themes and hopefully that’ll work! Thanks!!!

Here is something that might help: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

Get back to me if you need more help ??

Problem Solved!!!

Using Child Theme and some simple CSS modification like “display: none”…

Thanks TouchCoding!!!

I’m glad to hear ?? “display: none;” will make it not appear, but if you want to change what is displayed you can modify the footer.php

But glad I could help anyways ??

Does it mean that I will have to put

@import url("../harmonic/footer.php");

In order to edit it?

No, but you need to copy the footer.php into your own child theme folder and then modify that one.

Alright thanks! Also, by deleting the CSS code I wrote to modify my webpage, the stuff I hid did not come back? How do I bring them back?

Okay, I have copied my footer.php file to my child theme directory, and I have tried to edit the footer.php file, but nothing happens…

Please help…

When I look at the site it’s still there.

The code I remove is this:

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://www.ads-software.com/', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'twentyeleven' ); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'twentyeleven' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>

That “a-tag” is what generate the “Proudly powered by WordPress” link. Hope that helped a little more.

Harmonic is a bit unusual in that it comes with several footer files that get called in different places:

footer.php
footer-featureimage.php
footer-para.php
footer-singleportfolio.php

All those files need to be copied into your child theme if you’d like to make the same credit change everywhere.

In each footer file in your child theme, you’ll want to replace these lines with your new HTML:

<?php do_action( 'harmonic_credits' ); ?>
  <a href="https://www.ads-software.com/" rel="generator"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'harmonic' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
  <span class="sep"> | </span>
  <?php printf( __( 'Theme: %1$s by %2$s.', 'harmonic' ), 'Harmonic', '<a href="https://wordpress.com/themes/" rel="designer">WordPress.com</a>' ); ?>

If you still neeed any help with this, just let me know.

Gday there, I have a request. It’s a big ask, but it’s worth sharing:

Is there any chance these footers could all be integrated into a footer widget area, as many other themes offer?

A client of mine wants to mess around with the footer, but he’s not a programmer, so diddling with php and html and friends isn’t an option.

If there was a simple footer widget area, he’s be able to work with it.

It would make it FAR easier for all users of Harmonic.

Here’s hoping you like the idea!

Hi Ed,

Thank you for sharing. It’s unlikely for such a big update to happen after a theme’s initial release as everyone who currently uses the theme would be impacted. That said, it is always useful to hear feedback and to get an idea of the demand for different features.

I know you mentioned not wanting to diddle with PHP and HTML, but I do want to highlight that it is possible to create a child theme and to add widget areas using the following guidance:

We’d be happy to provide guidance if you decide to give the above a try. You could also consider hiring someone to make those customisations on your behalf:

Alternatively, you could have a browse through the www.ads-software.com Theme Repository to see if another theme matches up to your needed.

As an extra note: If you have extra questions or feedback on the theme, please do not bump old threads. It makes it harder to monitor and track. Instead, please post any future questions surrounding Harmonic to its dedicated support forum here:
