Of course you can 🙂
The </body> should be in your footer.php
You can of course also make a new widget area for your footer, by editing your functions.php
// Hook on the initialization of widgets
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'MaTheRyS_widgets_init' );
function MaTheRyS_widgets_init() {
// Footer widget
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Footer Widget Area', 'MaTheRyS' ),
'id' => 'footer-widget-area',
'description' => __( 'The footer widget area', 'MaTheRyS' ),
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</li>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );
}
And putting some code in your footer.php:
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'footer-widget-area' ) ) : ?>
<div style="width:100%; background: pink;">
<ul class="xoxo">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'footer-widget-area' ); ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
ps. I didnt try that code, so it might give an error or two 😛
If you widgetize your footer, you can pull an text/html box in the widget area, rss feed or what not. Ps. of course you should not style the div in the html, rather use css files.
Thanks a lot.
I didn’t find the </body> tag in the footer.php, it’s why i was asking this.
By inspecting a bit more the theme, several tag were missing in fact, like some closing </div> and </body>.
And i understood what’s happened : i don’t remember where i found it exactly, but it should be a modified theme with copyright removed…
I’ve just spend 2 hours to find the original one and get back the copyrights.
Hopefully, it’s a free theme and copyright back is enought to use it legaly. I would be really angry if it was a paid theme, as i’ve spend a lot of time working on customize it.
I can’t understand why there is no way to verify the legemity of a theme, like a mandatory UID that we can verify on a official wordpress site 🙁
One more times, thanks a lot 😉
