Footer Problem – Developer Deleted Key Links

[blk709]

HELP! My last developer deleted links in my footer to my FTC Disclaimer and Terms of Use that I just noticed now. I haven't been able to reach him.

How can I add these links back?

1. Check to see if you have a widget area that controls what's displayed in the footer.
2. Check your functions.php file for a function that is outputting the content.
3. Check plugins (i.e. Genesis Simple Hooks).

Obviously, there are a quite a few possible locations. If you aren't able to find it, contact the developer. They should fix it for you or, in the very least, tell you where to change it yourself.

Thanks Ren!

I found it. How do I add to it to allow linked text for Privacy, Terms and FTC? I don't want to break the PHP by tinkering with the code without knowing what to do.

Here is what it said:

// Customize Footer
remove_action('genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer');
add_action('genesis_footer', 'child_footer');
function child_footer() {
$date = date('Y');
echo '<div class="copyright"><p>Copyright '.$date.' - Armo Press, LLC</p></div>';
echo '<div class="powered"><p>Powered by '.CHILD_THEME_DEV.'</p></div>';
}

I can't tell you exactly where to put the links because it depends on how you want them to appear but you'll need to add the anchor tags either inside one or both of the two divs or outside of them. For example, you could add this line just below the "Powered by..." link:

echo '<a href="http://www.disabledveterans.org/">Link Text</a>';

However, this won't be inside of either of those two divs and there probably won't be any styling.

Another option is to comment out that function in functions.php, install Genesis Simple Edits and update within the Plugin. This may be better if you are not comfy with php updates.
