How Do I Display The Category Footer?

How does one display the category footer?

If I go to:

Posts -> Categories -> Category XYZ -> Category Footer

And type in some text and hit update, the text does NOT show up on the category page.

I am using Agency 2.0

thanks in advance.

The text I input inot the Category footer field is:

"where does this show?"

I have tried with ALL of the plugins disabled and that did not fix it.

Wordpress 3.9.2
Genesis 2.1.2
Agency 2.0

What is a category footer?

Are you referring to the entry footer, footer widgets or something else?

Hi Brad:

Are you referring to the entry footer, footer widgets or something else?

Apparently, something else.

Specifically, if I go in my admin to the Edit Category page by:

Posts -> Categories -> Buddhism Basics (the name of the category)

There is a single line text field called:

Category Footer

On the Edit Category screen, It is right below the multi-line text field for the Description, and right above the Category Archive Settings.

Note that I added the red lines above and below the name Category Footer to make it easier to see. The Edit Category screen in the admin doesn't normally have a red line above and below category footer.

So I thought the text "where does this go?" would show up somewhere on my Buddhism Basics category:

But it does not.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I am willing to use an alternate solution, but when I checked the plugins repository, I didn't see anything that offered that kind of functionality.

Basically, I want to have separate text on the different category pages that comes after the last post entry (but before the site-wide footer. It should be the last thing inside the #content div.

Thanks in advance.

Never seen that before which is interesting as i don't get that on my local installation

You can hook in a widget or text using a custom function with the correct conditional tag.

Rinse and repeat for each category or use elseif statements

Thank you again, Brad, for taking a look and offering your suggestions. Also, thanks for the snippet of code.

I wonder if that appears only in the Agency 2.0 theme???

LAMENT: I am kind of surprised that wordpress and the genesis framework by default don't have some sort of built in footer for category pages already. To me, it seems like a no-brainer. As I mentioned, I tried to find different ways of doing this via plugins and didn't see anything out there.

Brad:

I am terribly sorry but I just realized that the category footer field is most likely a feature of the Advance Custom Fields plugin. (I deactivated it and looked in the admin and the input field for Category footer no longer appeared).

I will try contacting the developer of the ACF plugin and see if they might have suggestions on how to implement it.

Thanks again for your help, and sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase.

BTW: The ACF plugin is normally quite useful, although I am not sure it is really 100% compatible with Genesis.

Great plugin with over 1 million free users.

Doubt you'll get free support though with those numbers.
