What may be easier (if you don’t necessarily want all the same menu items to appear in the footer) is to: Create a new menu, “Footer Menu” for example Add-in whatever links (pages) are needed there Add a widget (called Custom Menu) to a footer widget position (if your current theme supports it). Let me … Read more
You just need to make sure that you have all the necessary conditions handled properly. You can read more about the WordPress conditional tags available. As far as not having a header.php and a footer.php file in your currently active WordPress theme, you would just need to create an index.php file in your currently active … Read more
This is possible. I have tested it on my own server, but it might be better to just remove the comments yourself, or put them as php comments regardless. I only demo’d this with header.php, and used the code from this page to assist me. First of all, take the entire contents of your header.php … Read more
If the theme does not implement wp_footer() a lot of functionality that depends on it will break. For this reason, implementing wp_footer() is required to get your theme accepted in the WP.org directory. So it is not unreasonable to break when wp_footer() is missing. Be sure to add a notice in your FAQ that you … Read more
I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally wrong with your approach, I see it pretty often. You could hook parse_request and 301 redirect any requests to footer to the front page. I wonder though how visitors would end up there in the first place, as long as you exclude it from the sitemap and don’t link … Read more
Do you have to use a variable for you script? I have done this in the past and has worked… // add script to the footer and break out of PHP function slider_option(){ ?> <script>script function data</script> <?php } ?> add_action(‘wp_footer’,’slider_option’); If this does not work make sure you have the footer hook in you … Read more
IMHO, I still think that loading scripts and styles directly in the header is bad practice as it is always a problem removing them and loading them coditionally. The best way to work around this is to create a [child theme] and then copy header.php to your child theme. WordPress will load your child theme’s … Read more
Simple solution, use get_template_part(). For example: get_template_part( ‘partials/footer’ ); Which would get the footer.php inside the partials/ directory. Another example: get_template_part( ‘partials/footer’, ‘home’ ); Which would get the footer-home.php inside the partials/ directory. One more example: get_template_part( ‘partials/footer/blog’ ); Which would get the blog.php inside the partials/footer/ directory.
The get_sidebar($name); function loads sidebar template file sidebar-{$name}.php if no name in the prentacies is specified it loads the sidebar.php file. get_sidebar() and get_template_part() are almost identical, at the end they call locate_template() function that take care of loading from files. The only difference is the hook fired. If you use get_sidebar() for all your … Read more
Look in the parent theme’s functions.js. It looks like an implementation of the “sticky footer” concept. The margin is being set via script: var body = $( ‘body’ ), _window = $( window ); /** * Adds a top margin to the footer if the sidebar widget area is higher * than the rest of … Read more
