Child theme and parent theme footer BOTH showing

    I have edited my footer on a Tonal child theme to add my own name and copyright, plus a link to my comments policy. I did this by copying footer.php into the child theme and then editing it.

    However, now my website is showing both the footer of my child theme and the footer of my parent theme. Could you help me figure out why? I have spent quite a bit of time trying to figure it out and I think maybe I need to put something in the functions.php file to tell it not to also read the parent theme?

    I don’t want to just ‘mask’ the parent theme footer using CSS.

    Thanks so much if you know!

    Hi Rachel, could you paste the entire contents of your child theme’s footer.php file into a Pastebin and then link to it here so I can have a look? Thanks!

    Um, this is super embarrassing, but simply you asking me to do that caused me to find the problem. I hadn’t realised the old code was still there on the bottom of the new footer.php file and when I copied it, it became obvious. SORRY! Thanks, too.

    No worries! Sometimes all it takes is asking a question to find the solution. Glad you’re sorted – I’ll mark this thread as resolved.
