Hi Brad,

Thank you for your response. I'm still running into issues with this. I'm unable to get the comments link to appear at the bottom. It either appears directly below the date or not at all.

I haven't tried this on a site yet, but I saw some code for adding a custom footer navigation bar here:

Scroll down to the directions for "Add a Custom Menu in Custom Footer."

To remove the "Return to top of page" link in the credits, I used the function auc do footer. Thanks again for your help.

Hi,

Thanks so much for your help so far. I moved the ribbon and credit links below the footer as you suggested. The credit links are now placed in the correct area.

After I made these changes, I noticed the "Return to top of page" showed up on the left side of the ribbon. I thought that by removing the action for genesis_footer in the functions.php, I was controlling what would appear for my custom footer. Do you have a suggestion for how to remove this?

Thanks!

I found out that the Link Widget by Pankaj Biswas was causing the issue with the widgets not lining up. After removing this from the footer widgets, it worked.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Thanks for responding to my question. I removed the clear:right for .bottom-col1. I'm not sure if I did something wrong within the functions.php file. Hopefully the code below is OK to post and it will show up.

In the functions.php file, I added the following code for the footer:

genesis_register_sidebar(array(
'name'=>'Footer One',
'description' => 'This is the first footer column.',
'before_title'=>'<h4 class="footertitle">','after_title'=>'</h4>'
));

genesis_register_sidebar(array(
'name'=>'Footer Two',
'description' => 'This is the second footer column.',
'before_title'=>'<h4 class="footertitle">','after_title'=>'</h4>'
));

genesis_register_sidebar(array(
'name'=>'Footer Three',
'description' => 'This is the third footer column.',
'before_title'=>'<h4 class="footertitle">','after_title'=>'</h4>'
));
/** Customize the entire footer */
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'custom_footer' );
function custom_footer() {
?>
<div class="footer-bottom-boxes">
<div class="bottom-widgetized" id="bottom-col1">
<?php if (!dynamic_sidebar('Footer One') ) : ?>
<h4><?php _e("Footer Left Widget", 'genesis'); ?></h4>
<p><?php _e("Footer Area for Customer Service Links.", 'genesis'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- end .bottom-col1 -->
<div class="bottom-widgetized" id="bottom-col2">
<?php if (!dynamic_sidebar('Footer Two') ) : ?>
<h4><?php _e("Footer Middle Widget", 'genesis'); ?></h4>
<p><?php _e("Footer Area for Customer Service Links.", 'genesis'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- end .bottom-col2 -->
<div class="bottom-widgetized" id="bottom-col3">
<?php if (!dynamic_sidebar('Footer Three') ) : ?>
<h4><?php _e("Footer Right Widget", 'genesis'); ?></h4>
<p><?php _e("Footer Area for Customer Service Links.", 'genesis'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- end .bottom-col3 -->
</div><!-- end #bottom-widgetized -->
</div><!--end #footer-bottom-boxes -->
<?php
}

I had also tried adding a clear div within the code above because I noticed that the .bottom-col1 was expanding the entire length of the content. I didn't see a change so at that point I tried different options using CSS. I wasn't sure if I did something wrong in the code above, so I also tried just adding one custom dynamic sidebar that contained 3 widgets and then using CSS to horizontally align them.  It produced the same problem.

If I remove the entries for registering the sidebar in functions.php, they will line up horizontally.

I'm going to close this thread because I was able to fix the problem with the posts.

After adding <div class="clearer">&nbsp;</div> to the functions.php file for each of my custom widgets, I was able to fix it.

Thanks again, Bill!

Hi Bill,

Thanks so much for your help so far.

I now have the Genesis Featured Post Amplified Plugin installed.

Looking specifically at the Faith Page you'll see that I got the widgets to appear in columns. Since you last looked at the code, I changed the widgets to Faith-Top and Faith-Bottom. I'm still running into a problem with how I have the CSS because the posts are showing at the bottom of the page. If I use a widget other than Featured Post Amplified, the posts appear in the correct place.

[cvillelady]

Yes! I'm happy to report that it is now working in both IE and Firefox. I had to remove everything that was suggested in the link that you provided. I really appreciate your assistance.

[cvillelady]

I deactivated each of the plugins and then activated them as I checked the drop down link . Unfortunately this also did not seem to fix the problem.

[cvillelady]

Thanks for your suggestion. Although I removed the Homepage Feature widget, the drop down link is still not working correctly. I noticed that when I refresh the page, you can hover over the drop down link. However, if you don't click on it and just move the mouse away, it disappears the next time you hover over it.

[cvillelady]

I plugged in your suggested code and it worked! It doesn't appear to have caused any other display issues. Thanks so much.
