    Hi all!

    Chose the Wintersong Theme for a client that I'm helping mostly pro bono.

    The Footer Output from Genesis Simple Edits is appearing on the side under the avatar, which has been almost doubled in size.

    Question is: what needs to be done to get the Footer Output to display at the bottom of the page in the usual Footer location? (not sure yet if Footer Widgets will be added as well)

    Thanks and Happy New Year!!

    Find and remove this from your functions.php:

    //* Reposition 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 );
    add_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 11 );
    add_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_footer', 12 );
    add_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 13 );

    You may need to add or change the CSS to make it look the way you want, but that should move it back where it belongs.

    Actually that isn't going to work - let me ponder on this for a minute....

    Thanks for the reply Andrea!!

    I but the code from Simple Edits and pasted it to Theme Settings --> Header and Footer Scripts

    I think that's a step in the right direction?!

    1) Follow the suggestion given by nutsandbolts in the 2nd post of this topic.

    2) Additionally comment out or delete

    add_filter( 'genesis_footer_output', 'wintersong_custom_footer' );

    3) Add this CSS:

    .site-footer {
    	clear: both;
    }

    Very Close!!

    How can the "Copyright © 2013 God's Farmacy | Web Design & Marketing by We've Got Your Customers" be aligned right while the "Return to top of page" is aligned left on the same line? (Is it a matter of checking CSS in other Child Themes and pasting it here or more complicated?)

    Thanks Sridhar and Andrea!

    Got part of it fixed - changed text-align from center to right.

    Doesn't seem to be enough room in footer for "Return to top of page" to fit and that's why it is appearing on line above.

    Does the Header Class trump the Footer Class and that's why div class "go to top" is being bumped up a line? Thanks

    Looks like you need some CSS for #creds and #gototop - they need to be told to float left (#gototop) and right (#creds), and they both need a width.

    Thanks Andrea!

    Added this to CSS (found in another theme) and it is now displaying correctly:

    .gototop {
    float: left;
    width: 20%;
    }

    .creds {
    float: right;
    text-align: right;
    width: 75%;
    }

    One last thing - "Return to top of page" link not working 🙁

    When hovering over, link displays gods-farmacy.com/#wrap, but when clicked nothing happens.
