    Hi
    Hope someone can help me, newbie.. haha

    I added a child theme to my theme and added the below to the footer.php, (code was copied from a previous comment from another user) but nothing happens when i upload this file to the site.. the problem i’m having is that if i add any type of code to this file it still has no effect?
    the file is in the correct folder under: themes – customizr child – functions.php (using FileZilla for uploads)

    I still need to add my actual credits:-)

    <?php
 /**
 add_filter('tc_credits_display', 'my_custom_credits');
function my_custom_credits(){
echo '<div class="span4 credits">
    		    	<p> &middot; &copy; '.esc_attr( date( 'Y' ) ).' <a href="'.esc_url( home_url() ).'" title="'.esc_attr(get_bloginfo()).'" rel="bookmark">'.esc_attr(get_bloginfo()).'</a> &middot; Powered by <a href="http://my site name">My site</a> &middot;</p></div>';
}
*/

    The sites link Tazman

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    it depends on the code you add, but for sure it replaces the parent footer.php, but the actual functions are in inc/parts/class-footer-footer_main.php
    But I think there’s some confusion here, you talk about the file footer.php but then post the content of the child-thme functions.php …

    Anyway the code above should be put in the child-theme functions.php as you did, but you commented the code. The whole content of your child-theme functions.php should be, then:

    <?php
/* put all your functions below */
add_filter('tc_credits_display', 'my_custom_credits');
function my_custom_credits(){
return '<div class="span4 credits">
    		    	<p> &middot; &copy; '.esc_attr( date( 'Y' ) ).' <a href="'.esc_url( home_url() ).'" title="'.esc_attr(get_bloginfo()).'" rel="bookmark">'.esc_attr(get_bloginfo()).'</a> &middot; Powered by <a href="http://my site name">My site</a> &middot;</p></div>';
}
