    Please excuse me if the question is very stupid, but I can’t figure out how to display a footer in 2012 child theme ??
    I did read many posts in order to find out, but most of them are how to add widget, copyright…etc.
    I’m on step one-how to display footer? Later I’ll think how to fill it up.
    Please help!

    Best regards,
    Prolet

    NB here is the code of my footer.php if it’s of any help:

    [please mark any posted code – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code – some of the code below is corrupted]

    <?php
/**
 * The template for displaying the footer.
 *
 * Contains footer content and the closing of the
 * #main and #page div elements.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
 * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
 */
?>
	</div><!-- #main .wrapper -->
	<footer id="colophon" role="contentinfo">

		<?php /*
		<div class="footer-right">
			<p>

			</p>
		</div>

		<div class="site-info">
			<?php do_action( 'twentytwelve_credits' ); ?>

		</div><!-- .site-info -->
		*/
		?>
	</footer><!-- #colophon -->
</div><!-- #page -->

<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>

  • with this line:

    <?php /*

    you are starting a php comment section which does not get shown in the browser;

    the section ends with:

    */
?>

    what are you trying to show in the footer?

    Hi alchymyth and thank you for your quick respond!
    I don’t know absolutely anything ?? I took this project few days ago and I’m trying to finish it.
    The child theme is built by somebody else and I’m not very confident with my coding knowledge…
    I just want to have a normal footer to display widgets and some links.
    Can you give me some directions, please?
    Thank you for your time!
    ……………….
    aaaaaaaa, now I understand ??
    I have to put the content between <?php/* and the closing tag ??
    I should read before to write…
    THANK YOUUUUUU!

    I have to put the content between <?php/* and the closing tag ??

    you do have some code between those tags;

    you would actually need to remove those lines.

    I just want to have a normal footer to display widgets and some links.

    possibly start with an unedited footer.php of Twenty Twelve – https://themes.svn.www.ads-software.com/twentytwelve/1.1.1/footer.php

    Dear alchymyth,
    Very fast I found out that I’m too ignorant to understand what is going on ??
    Therefore I did exactly what you suggested – just copy/paste 202 footer.php and that’s it ??
    And I felt so successful ??

    It turns out in the end, that we are going without footer ??

    Thank you very much for your time!

    Best,
