• basic footer question first, I wanted to add “contact us” button in the footer, people click on it and it opens up an email. I did what I thought I should do http://wordpress.pastebin.com/m323bd292 but the “contact us” button is a different colour and in italics. what am I doing wrong here?

    I entered the text and code in the “configure theme option” footer text box.

    Also I wanted to change the home page by adding a text box. So I updated my stylesheet http://wordpress.pastebin.com/m4a5cf658 and I updated my homepage template with this code http://wordpress.pastebin.com/m448207b3 the problem is the homepage has a slider, if I put the text box above the slider on the homepage it works just great, but if I put it below it is presumably hidden and doesn’t show up. What could I be doing wrong? Here’s the code for the slider http://wordpress.pastebin.com/m4eb23efa

    Many thanks for your help, I’m kind of just launching myself into all this, I find all the documentation a bit overwhelming so any pointers to the right bits to look at in the documentation or other help would be great.

    Thanks

    You almost certainly need to edit the CSS for the footer links in your theme’s stylesheet.

    Thank you for the reply, I’ve just played around but although I could do a few things, like change the font size, I couldn’t find how to change the “contact us” colour or italics http://wordpress.pastebin.com/m3f2959e0 does the code give you any clues? do you think the way I’ve added the “contact us” button – a href – is ok in the text box for the footer?

    Thnank you

    ok I’ve managed to change it by changing http://wordpress.pastebin.com/m97589eb in the
    /**(1.2) BODY STYLES AND GENERAL TYPOGRAPHY (To avoid repeating classes) **/

    This makes me think I have created the link incorrectly, how should I have done it?

    (also is this the best way to copy/paste code?)

    Thank you

    hi, still having footer issues. In addition to the question above I’m also trying to add some text to the footer, but for some reason it is not showing up?

    here’s the code:

    <?php global $options; foreach ($options as $value) {    if (get_settings( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) { $$value['id'] = $value['std']; } else { $$value['id'] = get_settings( $value['id'] ); }} ?>				
    
    			</div><!-- /content-wrapper -->
    
    			<div id="content-bottom">
    			</div><!-- /content-bottom -->			
    
    		</div><!-- /main-wrapper -->
    
    		<div id="footer">
    
    			<div class="footer-links-wrapper"></div>
    
    			<!-- <ul id="footer-links">
    
    				<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&sort_column=post_date'); ?>
    
    			</ul> -->
    
                            <p><this text is not showing in my footer how do i get it to show up? thanks></p>
                            <p class="footer-text"><?php echo $kv_footer_text;?></p>
    
    		</div><!-- /footer -->
    
    	<script type="text/javascript">
    		var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
    		document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
    	</script>
    
    	<script type="text/javascript">
    		try {
    		var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("<?php echo $kv_goog_analytics;?>");
    		pageTracker._trackPageview();
    		} catch(err) {}
    	</script>
    	</body>
    
    </html>

    hi All,

    any pointers? I’ve got three questions going on in this thread, advise on any of them appreciated.

    thank you

    A link to your site would probably help.

    I can’t see anything wrong with your contact/mailto link in the footer.

    Not sure what this is supposed to be in your footer:
    <pink info@pinkpigeon.net="" |="" 3266="" 7439="" 020="" 8rp="" w1f="" london="" street="" berwick="" 34-35="" pigeon=""></pink

    i wanted to include the address and i can’t work out why it also isn’t showing up?

    yes the link contact us is fine but I was only concerned because I had to change it in the body rather than just the footer, it would be good to keep it to just the footer.

    thanks

    ok I got the address in by updating the Footer Text box in Theme options 🙂

    minor question relating to footer – I had to change the links style for the whole stylesheet (body a) rather than just the footer. How would I write the code if I wanted to change the links text style for footer only?

    thank you
