Customize the Footer Text in Metro Pro Theme

[Zach Russell]

I am trying to customize the footer text of the Metro Pro theme on my site WP Temple, and I cannot figure out how to do it. I tried the tutorial in the Genesis Docs to customize the footer:

remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'sp_custom_footer' );
function sp_custom_footer() {
	?>
	<p>&copy; Copyright 2012 <a href="http://mydomain.com/">My Domain</a> &middot; All Rights Reserved &middot; Powered by <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> &middot; <a href="http://mydomain.com/wp-admin">Admin</a></p>
	<?php
}

And it just adds the text to the wrong place. I then realized that this footer was added in the genesis_after hook, but when I do that, it just adds the code along with the footer code (I left it this way for reference).

I would appreciate any help you can offer!

I use Genesis Simple Edits to Edit the footer text and credits, etc.

Hi!
That is a brain-teaser - Metro is a little strange. I got it to work by threading your command into functions.php as follows. You have to get it in the exact right sequence, or else you don't get the cute container, and you keep the old stuff. Note the commented line, and the one below. And yes, you'll want your custom function somewhere in the file - that's less critical.

//* Reposition the footer

remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 5 );

remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );

remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 15 );

add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 11 );

//add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_do_footer', 12 );
add_action( 'genesis_after', 'sp_custom_footer', 12 );

add_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 13 );

Cheers, Dave

Genius!

I was a little confused adding priorities (thats what the numbers are right?) to the hooks.

I'll let you know how it works!

Thank you

Yes!
As soon as you move to Genesis 2, those priorities become very important, mostly due to needing to support the complexities of HTML5. I've published some of my experimentation and troubleshooting of those HTML5 hooks and priorities.

Works like a charm! Only problem was I tried to concatenate strings using Python syntax :/ Thanks for your help!

Python! Oooh, that's wild!
I use Monty Python syntax, though. 🙂

Hi Fellas, I used the code you offered here on my site and was left with two footer lines. How do I drop the default footer text in this theme?
