jenny20k 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2012 Hi I'd like to create a footer that simply contains a © 2012 statement but can only find options to put nav bars or callouts etc there. How do I do this? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catrina 103 Report post Posted March 4, 2012 You can use a hook in the footer to add a DIV layer (a box) that includes your copyright info. Are you using the child theme, PlatformBase?

catrina 103 Report post Posted March 4, 2012 I can show you an example. :) 1. Open your functions.php file by going to Appearance > Editor on your Dashboard (for PlatformBase, not PlatformPro). 2. When you scroll down the file, you'll see a section where hooks are placed along with an example of a hook. Below the example is where you'll place the code for the footer text. 3. The structure of a hook looks like this: [code]add_action('HOOK_NAME', 'DESCRIPTIVE_NAME'); // ---> uncomment to load //add_action('HOOK_NAME', 'DESCRIPTIVE_NAME'); // function name function DESCRIPTIVE_NAME(){ ?> YOUR TEXT CONTENT WILL GO HERE uncomment to load" line): 1. HOOK_NAME: The hook is the piece of code that determines where you content will go on the page. Since you want your copyright info to go into the header, you'll use a hook for the footer. A list of hooks is available in Templates > Advanced Setup when you select a template to edit in the dropdown list. 2. DESCRIPTIVE_NAME: This is the name you give to a hook so that you know what it's for. In your case, it'd be helpful to make it [b]copyright_info[/b] so that you know the hook is for displaying your copyright info. You must replace "YOUR TEXT CONTENT WILL GO HERE" with the copyright info. Does that make sense so far? Please read the docs before posting. Please do not private message me unless I ask you to.

WebWerx 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2012 I think she wants to put the Copyright content in the Footer (you said Header Catrina). I'd also mention CSS classes in terms of final positioning etc.... Great tutorial BTW >:D< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 547 Report post Posted March 5, 2012 @Jenny, I use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dynamic-dates/ a plugin that dynamically adds the date (year) with a simple shortcode. Preface it with a copyright symbol and enter the two things with your ownership in a text widget inside the footer. You do this in Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets.
