I am new to WP and hope I am posting in the proper place. Any and all help to get me going in the proper direction on all issues is appreciated.
I selected Agency Pro because the css and menu were smooth. Other Themes had fuzzy letters and other issues that did not appear to be very professional or StudioPress Quality.
I noticed that most good looking sites including the StudioPress sales documentation have removed and/or modified the credits.
I have tried using simple edits to remove the footer but still end up with a white strip where the credits were. I have experimented with editing the functions.php without luck.
What is the best way to remove this footer?
What is the best way to edit/create a good looking footer?
What is the best way to edit the header?Thanks for your help
Try the code snippets under Header and Footer https://my.studiopress.com/documentation/snippets/
Note : Code may not work if the Simple Edits plugin is active.
Best to ask 1 question per post.
Thanks for the reply.
I removed the Simple Edits Plugin, edited the functions.php to include the "Customize the Site Footer" sniplet but I do not know where to begin.
You need to modify the code to customize the footer.
Ok, Editing the functions.php will allow me to edit the footer but how do I completely remove this white strip that is left when there is no content in the function.
Link to your site.
Do you want to entirely remove the footer or modify it?
Thanks for your patience and help.
I could be wrong, but at the moment I felt that I wanted to simply remove it and add any footer html to the Theme footer scripts.
Thats 2 different things.
1. Footer scripts is for loading javascript in the footer as opposed to the header.
2. The footer is for footer credits, I.E text and HTML links. For this, i suggest modifying the HTML in this PHP https://my.studiopress.com/documentation/snippets/footer/customize-the-site-footer/
Ok, Cool you helped me to understand the proper way of working with WP and these themes.
FYI: I was able to make a transparent footer by putting html into the footer scripts. It was kind of a cool effect over a picture background.
I assume you mean the PHP code to modify the footer and not the Header and Footer scripts box?
No I simply dropped html into the Theme footer scripts as an experiment and it looked cool.
Putting a php function into the functions.php file appears to be a good option but at the moment I am thinking that completely deleting the footer and making a footer widget would be the best.
Not sure how to delete the footer or add a footer widget in this theme.
Try this in functions.php :
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );
You can try changing the 3 to 1
Thanks for the info. Not sure if I am quite up to speed the widgets and associated lingo.
When I modified add_theme_support from 1 to 3 I ended up with only 1 footer section in the widgets not 3. Not sure if this helped me or not.
What I was trying to to was add a complete footer widget like in the free oceanWP. In OceanWP I was able to add "footer widget" directly form the customize menu. This was great since I could add a logo, menu, social media and a title all on one footer with ease. At the moment it does not appear that I can create such a footer as a widget or other in studiopress without significant work if it can be done at all.
Is there a convenient way to make a compact footer with ease in studiopress?
I do like this theme but it seems pretty odd that a free theme ismore user friendly when it comes to making a nice compact footer.
I entered html into the functions.php and as far as I can see it will not work and I need to be placing it into the spot where the default footer is.
When I insert a html footer it is framed with a thick white border and will not and will not cross the whole page like the stock header and menu does.
How do I make a header go across the whole bottom of the page?
