    Hello…….I wish I could offer some kind of value exchange, like 3 jokes per problem resolved, or 4000 inane ebooks…..but I can’t so I am just hoping somebody will be kind enough to help me with this….Oh! I guess I could offer stuff like links, or advice ..just ask!

    Okay , I have 3 problems with my WP install, and I am not a programmer, so I’m stuck.

    1) My Comments aren’t showing.
    2) How do I activate my footer menu bar, as imported from artiseer.
    3) How do I make the rss feed in the footer work

    Thanks

    Marcus

    1) is this your site?
    https://www.themarcuswest.com/stem-enhance/
    if so, they show on single post view – do you want them elsewhere?

    2) ???

    3) https://www.themarcuswest.com/feed/
    this works

    if this is not the site – could you supply a link?

    Hi Samboll,

    thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

    RE 3) I’m embarrassed to be so stupid.

    RE 1) OK, I see but for
    https://www.themarcuswest.com
    the comments don’t show, which is where I guess I want them….lol……I think……don’t I?

    RE 2) I don’t know how to link the footer menu to anything….if you press them nothing happens..they are inactive

    for comments on the front page – the the theme’s index.php needs the comment code added
    add this right below the_content code
    <?php comments_template(); ?>

    you will need to do same for page.php if you want it on pages

    by default most themes only have comments on the single view

    don’t feel like an idiot – there is always a learning curve

    I’ll try to grab the theme to see what you mean about the footer

    edit – doh! – you used artisteer

    I assume there is a widget
    admin – Appearance – Widgets
    or the links are hard-coded in the theme’s footer.php and you need to manually change them to the url of the page you created for these links

    Hi Samboll,

    I’ll ask you one question at a time…..maybe easier for me.

    I have a footer tab in my appearance control panel. I have gone in and deleted some of the footer stuff.

    But I’ve left the ‘Contact Me’ and the ‘Privacy’ links.

    Okay, I have a Contact form Page, and I’ve also created a privacy page.

    I want the links from the footer to be active, and I also want the privacy page not to be on the top menu bar……….

    How do I proceed please?

    Regards
    Marcus

    you will need to edit 2 theme files
    header.php
    look for this or similar
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=');
    change it to
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=&exclude=2');
    change 2 to whatever your privacy statement page id is
    this will remove that from top navbar

    footer.php
    find 2 the url’s
    https://www.themarcuswest.com/#////#

    change them to
    https://www.themarcuswest.com/privacy/
    and
    https://www.themarcuswest.com/contact-form/
