Metro Theme Real Footer Edit

[Derek]

Hello,

When I say real footer edit, I mean the footer at the bottom part of the page where it says "Copyright © 2015 · Metro Pro Theme on Genesis Framework · WordPress · Log in".

I can't find this edit portion in the widget, nor in the Editor sections. How can I edit this area? It's driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
-Derek

Two ways:

1. Code method: Use last code on this page (https://my.studiopress.com/snippets/footer/) in your functions.php file (add at bottom).

2. Plugin method: Use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-simple-edits/

Awesome Davinder! Thanks so much for the help. Will see if I am able to execute this.

Hey Davinder,

I added the entire code at the bottom of my functions.php:

<?php
//* Do NOT include the opening php tag shown above. Copy the code shown below.
//* Customize the entire 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
}

But when I click to save I get an error page. On the error page it says this:

No data received

ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.
Reload this webpage
Press the reload button to resubmit the data needed to load the page.

It's strange as if the templates not letting me do my thing. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you try doing again or checked plugin method?

As such that error is related to file permission / server configuration. Refer - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-324-neterr_empty_response-the-server-closed-the-connection-without-se

You should use code in following format

//* Customize the entire 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
}

Do not include opening php tag

<?php
//* Do NOT include the opening php tag shown above. Copy the code shown below.

Hi Davinder,

Apologies once again for the late response on this topic.

I did do exactly as you said, however, as mention the website doesn't react to this. As well, the plugin version also yielded the same error message as mention above. It's as if wordpress was condemning me of doing any changes to the site LOL. For your reference here is the site: http://goo.gl/gxPqNw

So Even though I place the code at the bottom, made the necessary changes, it still yields no change after I click save. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Cheers,

-Derek

Looks like footer credits are being output as "© Copyright 2015 My Domain · All Rights Reserved · Admin" above the real site footer.

Difficult to check without back-end access. Send me login details (iguiding.com/contact), I will have a look.

Hi Davinder,

Email sent. I really appreciate this, big time!

Check now, issue is fixed. Metro theme was hooking footer at new location. Hence updated 'footer credits change" code with that hook location.

Davinder, I can't thank you enough. This is something I wouldn't have been able to figure out on my own. Not sure why the credit section isn't straight forward on this theme as it is on others...

Thanks for all your help!

Welcome!

Not sure why the credit section isn’t straight forward on this theme as it is on others…

Because credits section is hooked outside site-container in this theme.

I'm having the same problem. What hook location should I be using? How can I find this out for myself?
