Whatever functions are needed to achieve the design I want (Twitter Bootstrap design). At this stage it's just the design I'm thinking about. If you're willing to help out with the style sheet that would be great.
I solved it, turns out the reason was because I didn't have an init line in my functions.php. I downloaded the Genesis sample child theme and copied the code from there into my file and the footer disappeared.
I was wondering, perhaps the reason the plugin works but functions.php doesn't is because my child theme code gets run before the Genesis code is, so effectively I remove the footer before it's even added and then Genesis adds it back in. Whereas in a plugin the plugin code gets run after the theme code? Does that sound right?
But then that raises the question, why does the functions.php code seem to work for other users but not me?
OK I tested the plugin and it worked, but I'd still rather not have to install a bloated multi-purpose plugin where I should be able to accomplish the same thing with a single line of code in functions.php.
If the plugin works for me, then why doesn't the function call work for me? I guess my question now is - what code is the plugin using to remove the footer?
Sorry to be rude Brad but judging by that 'solution' it looks like you haven't even read my original post.
Jen, do you have any ideas?
I'm an advanced user, I don't need a bloated plugin. A plugin is just code after all, so surely I'd be able to achieve the same effect by writing the code myself in functions.php. Only I can't...
I deactivated all my plugins and the default footer's still there. I also tried creating a new blank child theme with that function call, looked at the live preview, footer was still there.
Nick: Thanks for your help and your time, I'm going to implement what you've said and hope it works. 🙂
