Problems when used with Genesis Theming Framework

    When this plugin is used in combination with the Genesis Theming Framework and a child theme, the remove_action doesn’t seem to work.

    For example…

    Most Genesis Child Themes include a copyright declaration at the bottom of the page. To remove it one would use:

    remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );

    To then add in a custom copyright declaration, one would use:

    add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'bamajr_custom_footer' );
function bamajr_custom_footer() {
        echo '
<!-- ******************************************************* -->
<!-- BEGIN: CUSTOM FOOTER                                    -->
<!-- ******************************************************* -->

	<p>&copy; Copyright 2015 <a href="https://bamajr.com/" target="_blank" title="Bamajr.com">Bamajr.com</a></p>

<!-- ******************************************************* -->
<!-- END: CUSTOM FOOTER                                      -->
<!-- ******************************************************* -->

';
}

    The problem I see is that the remove_action does not execute, while the add_action does execute, leaving a Genesis website with two (2) copyright declarations at the bottom of the page, instead of one (1).

    I think that the issue here is that your remove_action() call is firing too early. You need to wrap in a function hooked to an action such as genesis_setup to ensure it only runs *after* Genesis has loaded.

    Try using this code to remove the default footer, and then add in your second piece of code to add a new footer after it:

    function bamajr_remove_default_footer() {
	remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
}
add_action( 'genesis_setup', 'bamajr_remove_default_footer' );
