creating unique footer

Hi there! Looking briefly at the Divi theme, I’m not able to say for sure. Since it seems to be a premium theme, I can’t simply look at how the theme works to give you a definitive answer. That being said, I can say that the behavior you’re expecting (copy footer.php and modify in the child theme) is meant to be the default behavior of child themes.

Assuming Divi is built according to WordPress standards for theme development (and I don’t see why it wouldn’t be), yes, it is that simple. ??

Is Child Themify compatible with Divi 2.4? I have been following blogs trying to find an answer. Could you address what I read in one blog (below)? Thank you!

This is what I read:
I’ve just been checking how Child Themify works (I’ve been using it for a while), and realised this afternoon that it uses the old, outdated (and not recommended) method of referencing the parent theme’s stylesheet (it uses the import command, instead of the enqueue command).

Check it out – this is pretty important.

Hi eckwi,

Thanks for stopping by. I apologize for the late reply here. Yes, this has been brought to my attention and the answer, essentially is “enqueue isn’t as good a solution”.

I go into more depth in another support thread created specifically for that issue.

Do you have a link to the blog post where you read that excerpt? I’d love to find it and see if we can discuss the issue farther.

Regarding your other question of “is Child Themify compatible with Divi”, my answer is “I don’t know”. Divi isn’t a publicly available theme, so I have no way of testing to see if it works with Divi and what pitfalls might or might not exist.

Hi John, Thank you for following up!

I read your support thread for this issue. Every bit helps.

I looked in all the blogs I follow and cannot find which one held that excerpt. But I tried ??
