remove_filter genesis_footer_backtotop_text

[MikeKirkland]

I'm trying to remove the genesis_footer_backtotop_text filter. I can replace it with a new custom filter, which I guess would do at a pinch (text that doesn't display), but I'd like to do it properly if possible.

I guess there must be something wrong with the syntax. I'm using:

remove_filter('genesis_footer_backtotop_text', 'genesis_footer_backtotop_text');

Any help would be be appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

You can just overwrite that filter with your own, here is what I use on my client sites

add_filter('genesis_footer_creds_text', 'child_footer_creds_text');
function child_footer_creds_text($creds) {
	$date = date('Y');	
	$creds = '&copy; '.$date.' Company Name Pte Ltd| Website by <a class="chillybin" href="http://www.chillybin.com.sg" rel="external"><span>chillybin.com.sg</span></a>';
	return $creds;
}

I've been able to replace the filter, but I just want to remove it (and keep the genesis_footer_creds_text filter). That doesn't seem to work.

You could just return false; on the filter

Or replace the whole section

//* Customize the entire footer
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'child_custom_footer' );
function child_custom_footer() { }

I'm probably trying too hard to generate clean output (and without knowing enough). But this worked with no odd looking source as a result.

add_filter( 'genesis_footer_backtotop_text', 'custom_footer_backtotop_text' );
function custom_footer_backtotop_text() {
	return false;
}

No, sorry. There is still code generated. But I can live with it.

Glad you got it sorted in the end

The <div>s that are still there are generating extra space at the bottom of the content area. I guess they could be removed by modifying the theme php. But I'm trying to stick with the spirit of Prose by making changes in the Custom.css and Custom.php areas - ie additive. So I ended up with this:

#footer {
display:none;
}

Seems to do the trick. But I don't know if there is a better way without changing the files.

[chillybin]

this would work to remove all the divs

//* remove 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 );
