Title: Changing and adding footer text
Post by: cathyslife on April 03, 2013, 17:39
I see where the copy boxes are added in footer.php. Where do I go in Admin to add text to those three footer boxes? Also, how do it change the main footer line? I have tried three different code adds to the function.php file, after googling, and nothing changes. I downloaded a plugin, installed that, and nothing worked. Help!

Maybe check with http://www.theruchos.com/. (http://www.theruchos.com/.) They have done it. I think you can do it through the widgets panel but I haven't tried. I just commented them out of the footer.php file since I don't want to use them.

Ooohh!  I can finally answer someone else's question  ;D , at least part of it.  If you go to Appearance / Widgets you'll see the holding spots on the right side for the footer locations.  Click the little triangle on the right of each section to open it. You can drag over widgets or move them from the sidebar location too.  There is a text widget for adding text and html.  I'm not sure about the main footer line.  I think in the Symbiostock options one of the tabs has some radio buttons to select some options on what goes in there.  Not sure how much it can be customized.

Awesome! That did it. I forgot about dragging the text widget over into those. The bottom credit line I think is controlled somewhere else, but I don't know yet. But at least theres progress! Thanks klsbear!

@farbled...that was going to be my next stop. I really like their site. I like their elements but I hope I can style a little differently so it doesn't look exact. Everyones pages in fact are shaping up, and every time I go visit I find something clever, cool or awesome!

I will add a blurb about this to the FAQS page, too.

So just to update, this has changed.

In the symbiostock admin area, at the bottom, you can add your copyright info. But dragging text into the widgets still works the same for Footer Area 1, Footer Area 2 and Footer Area 3. (v1.2.9)

My footer shows this:

...but I want this:
Copyright © 2013    http://stockwalkn.com (http://stockwalkn.com)   All Rights Reserved.

Any suggestions for someone NOT css or php savvy.
