Hi. To change the site credits link color and hover color, you can add CSS like this:

.site-credits a { color: #123456; }
.site-credits a:hover { color: #123456; }

To change the actual text, there is basically two ways. You can directly edit the file footer.php in the parent theme (Flat Bootstrap). You’d change the line that starts with $site_credits =. But I built in a better way. In the functions.php file within the Link theme, you can create a function to override the text from the parent theme. Here is an example of that:

/*
 * OVERRIDE THE SITE CREDITS TO GET RID OF THE "THEME BY XTREMELYSOCIAL" AND JUST LEAVE
 * COPYRIGHT YOUR SITE NAME
 *
 * You can hard-code whatever you want in here, but its better to have this function pull
 * the current year and site name and URL as shown below.
 */
add_filter('xsbf_credits', 'xsbf_child_credits');
function xsbf_child_credits ( $site_credits ) {

	$theme = wp_get_theme();
	$site_credits = sprintf( __( '© %1$s %2$s', 'xtremelysocial' ),
		date ( 'Y' ),
		'<a href="' . esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ) . '" rel="home">' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . '</a>'
	);
	return $site_credits;
}

The theme doesn’t actually make any calls to wp_register_script. Could it be a plugin that you are using causing that error? Take a look at functions.php and you’ll see I’m using wp_enqueue_script. Also note that whole section is specifically triggered by wp_enqueue_scripts, meaning its called at the right time that error message suggests.

That file is what let’s me recommend various plugins that work well with the theme. It was written by Thomas Griffen and I have contributed a fix to it before. https://github.com/thomasgriffin/TGM-Plugin-Activation. It certainly shouldn’t have a virus on it. I develop on a Mac and Linux machines and viruses are extremely rare as compared to Windows. Let me know if you have any more info about it.

Hi, please see this post for a discussion about the header image being designed to be cropped.

I’m was inclined to make it responsive in the parent theme, Flat Bootstrap, but was planning on leaving it to crop in the child themes (Spot, Link, Pratt). I’ve made note of your request, though. I’m really starting to think some tweaks are needed to how custom images are handled.

I’ll mark this thread as closed, but will turn notifications on as I’m happy to continue the discussion.

It looks like you may have figured out some of this already, but here is some guidance. For the copyright section, that css class is called “site-credits”. If you want to change the colors of the footer nav menu to left of that as well, you can target the whole css class of “after-footer”.

So to change the link color, you can do something like:

.site-credits a,
.site-credits a:active {
color: whatever;
}
.site-credits a:hover {
color: whatever;
}

For the email link color, that is in a css class called “contact-footer” and you’d change it the same way as above.

Thanks for the kind words. You can add a blank text widget to the Page Bottom widget area to remove the samples. I’m trying to think through an easier way to both highlight what the theme can do while making it easy to alter it. WordPress doesn’t provide any options for displaying sample widgets that can be edited. I have to hard-code them into the theme conditionally upon there being no user-added widgets.
