Hmm, I just tried on a clean install of Genesis Sample and my footer background/text CSS changes remained in place after activating the plugin.

Did you make the changes directly in the stylesheet or in Custom CSS? Can you send me a list of the other plugins you have activated on the site? I definitely want to help you figure this out but it’s difficult since I can’t see what you see.

If you’d like me to log into your site and take a look, you can submit that request here: https://www.nutsandboltsmedia.com/contact/ and I’d be glad to see if I can identify the problem.

Hi!

That is definitely one I haven’t seen before – let me try to replicate the issue on my test site and I’ll check back in with you.

I stopped using GASP (since it was letting tons of spam comments through anyway) and switched to Stop Spam Comments. No configuration required and it has worked perfectly.

You should be able to use the following:

Copyright [footer_copyright] &mdash; <a href="https://www.tellmehowtoblog.com">TellMeHowToBlog</a>

The Genesis shortcode [footer_copright] will update the year automatically so you don’t have to edit it in the future.

Then I would use CSS to make the link bold:

site-footer a {
font-weight: bold;
}

@cookiesandkate – In the Simple Social Icons widget, swap out your Feedburner URL for the Feedly URL.

Blog Lovin’ just uses a plus sign, which is included in Fontello. So we can keep hoping. ??

@cookieandkate I just use the RSS button – when people using Feedly click on my Feedburner link, they’re automatically prompted to add it to Feedly.

Following this thread since I have the same issue.

Which defeats the purpose of using a font-based plugin like Simple Social Icons. No one wants one lone button that doesn’t match.

+1 for a Blog Lovin’ button. My clients request this CONSTANTLY.

I would love to be able to change the button background… That blue drives me crazy.

The update took care of it – thank you so much!

The site runs on Genesis. Here are the installed plugins:

• BackupBuddy
• bbPress
• bbPress Genesis Extend
• Cart66 Pro
• Gravity Forms
• Jetpack
• MP6
• Simple Google Sitemap XML
• Simple Social Icons
• WP Optimize
• WP Smush.it
• WP Super Cache

It’s definitely a plugin conflict – when I deactivate everything but Erident, I can change settings just fine. I didn’t want to leave the site broken during the day when I have traffic but will hunt down the issue later and update here.

Thanks!

For anyone who runs into this issue, I have FINALLY found a solution thanks to some awesome people who were willing to help (including Jared, the plugin’s author).

(Note that you’ll need a different hook on HTML5 child themes, and possibly a different one if your child moves the author box.)

// Remove author box from forums
add_action (‘genesis_after_post’, nabm_remove_author_box’ );
function nabm_remove_author_box() {
    if ( is_bbpress() ) {
    remove_action( ‘genesis_after_post’, ‘genesis_do_author_box_single’ );
}}

That finally got the author box to go away. Hope that helps someone!
