Customizing Footer

    Hello,

    I’ve added a dashboard customizer tool so that users can customize the footer on my theme using:

    <footer id=”colophon” class=”site-footer” role=”contentinfo”>

    <div class=”site-info”>
    <?php echo get_theme_mod( ‘copyright_textbox’, ‘No copyright information has been saved yet.’ ); ?>
    </div><!– .site-info –>

    </footer><!– #colophon –>

    BUT I want my default footer to be the default wordpress footer which looks more like:

    <footer id=”colophon” class=”site-footer” role=”contentinfo”>
    <div class=”site-info”>
    “><?php printf( __( ‘Proudly powered by %s’, ‘THEMESLUG’ ), ‘WordPress’ ); ?>
    <span class=”sep”> | </span>
    <?php printf( __( ‘Theme: %1$s by %2$s.’, ‘AC’ ), ‘THEMENAME’, ‘Underscores.me‘ ); ?>
    </div><!– .site-info –>
    </footer><!– #colophon –>

    How do I replace “No copyright information has been saved yet.’ with the default wordpress footer??

    Thanks,

    You might try something like this instead:

    <?php
if ( get_theme_mod( 'copyright_textbox' ) ) :
    echo get_theme_mod( 'copyright_textbox' );
else :
    ...default WordPress footer...
endif;
?>

    Also, in the future, be sure to enclose all code within backticks (`) so it displays correctly.

    Thanks for your reply. I’m just starting to learn php so the I’m having a hard time with the syntax.

    When I do this I get an syntax error after the the word else :

    if ( get_theme_mod( ‘copyright_textbox’ ) ) :
    echo get_theme_mod( ‘copyright_textbox’ );
    else :
    <div class=”site-info”>
    “><?php printf( __( ‘Proudly powered by %s’, ‘AC’ ), ‘WordPress’ ); ?>
    <span class=”sep”> | </span>
    <?php printf( __( ‘Theme: %1$s by %2$s.’, ‘AC’ ), ‘Artistic Collaboration’, ‘Underscores.me‘ ); ?>
    </div><!– .site-info –>
    endif;

    ?>

    You need to close off the PHP tags before you can put HTML tags or you’ll get syntax errors. Try this:

    <?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'copyright_textbox' ) ) : ?>
    <div class="site-info">
        <?php echo get_theme_mod( 'copyright_textbox' ); ?>
    </div><!-- .site-info -->
<?php else : ?>
    <div class="site-info">
       ... default WordPress footer...
    </div><!-- .site-info -->
<?php endif; ?>

    HI,

    If anyone is interested I got it to work like this:

    <footer id=”colophon” class=”site-footer” role=”contentinfo”>

    <div class=”site-info”>

    <?php
    if ( get_theme_mod( ‘copyright_textbox’ ) ) :
    echo get_theme_mod( ‘copyright_textbox’ );
    else :
    echo ‘Proudly powered by ‘;
    echo ‘WordPress ‘;
    echo ‘Theme: THE THEME NAME by ‘;
    echo ‘Underscores.me. ‘;

    endif;
    ?>
    </footer><!– #colophon –>

    The only thing is, I’m working on my theme locally right now and when I try clicking on the link it doesn’t automatically take me to the site… is this because I’m working on the site locally??

    Thank-you,
    Dewi
