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.
anotherusernameParticipantThank you again, Brad, for taking a look and offering your suggestions. Also, thanks for the snippet of code.
Never seen that before which is interesting as i don’t get that on my local installation
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.
anotherusernameParticipantHi 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:
http://www.thebuddhagarden.com/blog/about-buddhism/
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.

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 2.0anotherusernameParticipantThanks so much, Lauren!
Works like a charm!!!
anotherusernameParticipantI just wanted to explain a bit more about the problem.
Specifically, I am talking about the #header div background image.
It turns out, Agency theme (and perhaps MOST Genesis themes) use inline CSS for the #header background image:
#header {
background-size: auto !important;
}
But it looks like to make that #header background image responsive, you need to add 100% to it as:
background-size: 100% auto !important;
Unfortunately, I don't know if it is at all possible to overwrite the inline style if it has the !important tag. Is that possible?
Or will I have to go in and edit the child template theme?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the note. I am assuming that when you say give "it" a specified width, you mean the td, not the image, right? (Apologies in advance if I misunderstand.)
I will try it out. Again, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
One thing I found on the internets is that having something like:
img { max-width:100%; }
will apparently cause problems for chrome / safari when the image is in a table.
They said the solution is to change it to
max-width:none;
But then I think that prevents ALL images from being responsive, doesn't it?
July 20, 2014 at 1:03 pm in reply to: Why Are Images So Much Smaller In Chrome Than Firefox? #115065anotherusernameParticipantTables should only be used to display tabular data and have not been used for layout for several years now.
To make a long story short, there is more tabular data that will be going in there soon - just not yet. Hence, I used tables.
Is there no SIMPLE way to just tell Chrome and Safari to display the images the same as firefox / Opera / Internet Explorer do? Yeah, I could create a bunch of nested divs, but there are times when I would rather use a table.
July 19, 2014 at 4:01 pm in reply to: Why Are Images So Much Smaller In Chrome Than Firefox? #114975anotherusernameParticipantWhy is your image sitting in a table?
Because it is 🙂
Does chrome have problems with images in tables?
How can I get chrome to show the image the right size... like REAL browsers do?
anotherusernameParticipantThanks again for all the help, Lauren. And thanks for the link!!!
anotherusernameParticipantOh, and I almost forgot...
If I activate the "Genesis Framework" do I still have to install a "child theme" as well?
Meaning, if I choose to activate the Genesis Framework in themes, then I modify it, then I later update it using auto updates, will all my theme customizations be overwritten?
Do I need to upload the Genesis Sample theme and use that as the child theme?
Thanks again.
anotherusernameParticipantThanks Lauren, for the quick response.
So can I ask one more question along those lines?
Why is it so common for Genesis themes to have a max width of 960 pixels if most desktop monitors have a much higher resolution, and if the sites will resize to fit mobile device screens anyway?
Why don't more themes have a native max width of 1200px (or even wider) then?
Thanks, and sorry if this is an "unanswerable" question.
anotherusernameParticipantThanks so much for the response, stinkykong. i really appreciate it.
I am thinking that it may just be better if I get the epik them instead of trying to hack my agency them to try and be wider.
Lament: I really wish that much the same way that the themes have a number of "built in" color options, they would have a couple of built in widths.
Oh well.
July 11, 2014 at 3:51 pm in reply to: Search Form Disappearing When Resizing Screen (Agency 2.0) #113961anotherusernameParticipantThank you so much, Davinder. It worked perfectly. 🙂
anotherusernameParticipantYes, very relieved. thanks! 🙂
anotherusernameParticipantAhh... that was easy!!!
Thank you very much for your help 🙂
anotherusernameParticipantThank You, Lauren:
It turns out that in a text widget I had on the home page, I had included text with a closing DIV tag in it. I didn't have that text on any other page (just the home page).
It's those darn extra closing DIV tags that will get you every time.
anotherusernameParticipantWait, do you mean I changed the CSS of my #footer so it is no longer "inheriting" (whatever the heck that means) the styling of the #wrap DIV?
That would make sense.
anotherusernameParticipantHi there, Lauren:
first, thanks so much for taking the time to respond.
You mentioned one thing that I might have misunderstood. you said:
"It’s because you moved your footer outside of the wrap."
I am concerned because I never actually edited the template in any way. I just edited the CSS file.
Is that what you are saying? That the CSS files was edited incorrectly?
Or are you saying that somehow the homepage TEMPLATE (the .php page) was edited and the DIVs were rearranged?
~~~~~
Either way, I guess I could just apply the #wrap styles to the #footer div.
Another thing that is confusing to me is the empty #inner div. Don't know why it would be that way. Again, I haven't edited any .php pages. Just CSS.
And I did deactivate ALL plugins and tested it out, so I am baffled by this.
Thanks again.
anotherusernameParticipantI thought it was due to the #inner width being 100% but it doesn't seem to affect it on other pages.
I am really stuck here. CSS hates me.
