Hi Leslie,

Just checking to see if you were able to make Genesis Footer Builder work with your Genesis child theme! Are you still facing any issues?

Let me know if you need any assistance. If that fixed the issue for you, you can mark the issue as resolved. Thanks ??

Glad to know that @admabradford. Thanks a ton for appreciating!

Hi Leslie,

Thanks for letting us know. This particular issue is because the Hello Pro theme that you are using on your site implements footer in a non-standard way. It does not adhere to Genesis standards and which is why the customization done via Genesis Footer Builder does not reflect on the front-end of your site.

A quick fix to let Hello Pro theme obey Genesis Footer Builder customization for the footer is to add the following code to your theme’s functions.php:

if( function_exists( 'hello_pro_custom_footer' ) ) {
	remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'hello_pro_custom_footer' );
	add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'hello_pro_allow_gfb_footer' );
	add_filter( 'hello_pro_footer_output', 'gfb_customized_footer', 20 );
}

function hello_pro_allow_gfb_footer() {

	ob_start();
	hello_pro_custom_footer();
	$hello_pro_footer = ob_get_clean();

	echo apply_filters( 'hello_pro_footer_output', $hello_pro_footer );

}

If you’re not sure where to add this code, you can download WP Designer plugin that will allow you to add custom functions and styles to your theme.

This should fix the issue and make Genesis Footer Builder work with your theme. Let me know if you need any more help!

Thanks.

Thanks @holgerhubbs,

Glad you liked it!

Hi janaglass,

Currently, there’s no way to change the color or add any CSS in the plugin itself. If you wish to change the color of the footer text, you’ll need to add custom CSS and this can be done using WP Designer plugin which allows you to customize your theme as per your requirements.

Just follow the instructions to use the plugin and you should be easily able to customize the footer as required. If you still face any problems, just let me know the site URL and I will be glad to help you with the CSS customization required.

Thanks ??

Hi sheenfischer,

I see that your website still does not show up the footer wrap area. Were you able to fix the issue or are you still looking for help? Let me know if you need help with anything. Thanks ??

Hi sheenfischer,

I can see the following rule defined in your theme stylesheet:

/*-----Custom-CSS------*/
.site-footer .wrap {
    display: none;
}

Genesis Footer Builder adds footer menu to the site footer on your Genesis website. The copyright text seems to be added to footer widgets on your website and the site footer has been completely hidden by the custom CSS rule as mentioned above.

If you have added the code to the stylesheet yourself, you may want to comment out that code to see the footer menu in action. Let me know if that helps or if there is something else I can help you with.

Thanks ??

Thanks for kind words, Filip ??

Hi @fvalica,

To be able to remove the Genesis footer menu from the landing page, you will need to add the following code to your landing page template file page_landing.php:

if( function_exists( 'gfb_menu' ) ) {
	remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'gfb_menu', 5 );
}

Let me know if this helps or is there anything else you’d like me to assist you with.

Hi joyloan,

That password is md5 hash of the original so you would never be able to read the original password. What you can try is to rename the wp-config file to something like wp-config.php.bak and then try to access the wp-admin for your site. Let me know if that helps or if the problem persists.

Hi Morris,

Just wondering if you could just edit wp-config.php, change WP_DEBUG to true and let us know what notices do you receive!

Marking this as resolved.

Hi Ed,

Thanks! Well, adding any new links to the footer creds text is as simple as writing text into the editor that the plugin offers you. For example, if you need to put in Terms of Use somewhere between Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, you could use this code inside the Custom Footer Copyrights textarea:
<p>Copyright &copy; [gfb-date] &mdash; [gfb-brand] &bull; All rights reserved.</p><p>[gfb-privacy-policy] &bull; <a href="{/your-link}">Terms of Use</a> &bull; [gfb-disclaimer]</p>.

As far as changing the default link text for the Disclaimer and Privacy Policy links are concerned, currently there’s no way you can customize the text. Having said that, I promise you’d have that flexibility in the next version of the plugin that will be out very soon so that it makes life easy for everyone.

Let me know if that works for you. I’ll be there around if you need further assistance.
