Footer Navigation

[bobborsongmailcom 0]

Hi, I am trying to edit the appearance of the information in my footer and I'm not having any luck. I went through the process of creating a menu in the footer navigation box on the menu page but no matter what I do, I still get the 4 columns (Pages, Stay in Touch, More, and Copyright). I know where the "More" and Copyright information is coming from but I really want to get rid of the stay in touch column - or at least control it. I am not skilled at coding so if you could provide me specific direction I wuld greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time

The "More" text can be changed by going to Theme Options > Sidebar Options > Welcome Message. Copyright info is implemented in the footer.php file using the following code:

<div class="fcol">
	<div class="fcol_pad">
	<span class="terms">
	<?php e_pagelines('terms');?>
	</span>
	</div>

Change

<span class="terms">

to include the info you want. Do you want to change the content in the Stay In Touch column or just customize it?

The way I am trying to set things up, the result will be a lot of pages. The footer - under the "Stay in Touch" - every page I create is showing up there. I thought by creating a footer navigation menu, I could control what showed up there but that doesn't appear to be the case. I would like to know how to change the title "Stay in Touch" should I ever want to label it something else, but I would also like to control the pages that show up in that particular column.

Hey Rob, Which theme again? Using your own widgets instead of the default doesn't work for you?

I having the same issue. I would like to remove the Pages/Stay in Touch and More part

If you want to get rid of the columns completely, you can go to Appearance > Widgets and drag the 4 widgets (i.e. 4 text widgets if you want to customize the columns) you want into the Footer Columns section on the bottom right.

Andrew - I am on IBlogPro. I am fine using the default settings if I can modify them. Can I just get rid of the Stay in Touch column? Or at least control what goes into that column? As I said at the very beginning, I created a custom footer navigation from the menu page but I only stuck the about page in there - yet I still have the stay in touch column. Since all the stay in touch column does is list every page I set up, I don't want that. Maybe if It was to only list the Parent pages that would be acceptable.

If you've created a custo menu for the Stay in Touch area you need to use this theme location under Appearance - Menus... "footer_social" I hope this makes sense.

I haven't created a custom menu for the Stay in Touch area. I created a footer navigation menu page that seems to control only the Pages footer navigation. How is the information in the Stay in Touch column created and where can I modify this? If you don't do anything, the information in the 'Pages' column and the 'Stay in Touch' column are identical - which seems kinda non-sensical to me. Are you telling me that I need to create a custom menu for the Stay in Touch column using the footer social menu?

Okay - I figured out what Adam was telling me. Can you point me to where I can change the "Stay in Touch" verbiage to say something like "Project Types" Thanks

Without reinserting your own custom widgets in Appearance > Widgets you'll have to get into the code: Appearance > Editor > Footer (footer.php) then search for and change "Stay in Touch". Thanks, Bryan
