    Hi there, I’m trying to add a simple line to the bottom of each post. As per another forum thread, I’ve added the following to the single.php:

    <?php
    add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘add_stuff_to_bottom’);

    function add_stuff_to_bottom() {
    $content = ‘<hr style=”height: 0px; border-bottom: 3px solid #000000;” />’;
    echo $content;
    }
    ?>

    Right now, the code is located after the following line:

    <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

    which results in the horizontal line showing up at the very bottom of the page, outside the main wrapper. I’ve tried it in other locations but can’t figure out how to get it at the bottom of each post. Thanks for your help. site: https://www.meandmydiy.com

    forget the ‘add_action’ stuff – simply use:

    <?php $content = '<hr style="height: 0px; border-bottom: 3px solid #000000;" />';
echo $content;
 ?>

    Oh wait…where should I insert the code so that it appears below the post, but above the comments and the related posts widget? Thanks again!

    There are two lines in the single.php that look like this:

    <?php get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘single’ ); ?>
    <?php comments_template( ”, true ); ?>

    When I put the code immediately above the comments_template line, it ends up being too low…I would like it right after the text of the post, but before the two widgets (related posts and sharing). When I put it above the get_template_part, it ends up too high, appearing above the post. Any way to get it in between?

    Okay, finally got this one figured out. Obviously, this only works if you have the nrelate-related widget immediately below your posts, but for anyone else that might be wondering, here’s what I did. I inserted the following line into the nrelate-related.php:

    $content .= ‘<hr style=”height: 0px; border-bottom: 3px solid #000000;” />’;

    It goes just underneath the line

    $content .= $original;

    and all it does is add a horizontal line to the end of whatever text is stored in the $content variable, before the rest of the nrelate stuff is added. Worked like a charm.
