    Hi people,

    I’ve set up a WordPress page with the “twenty-ten” theme, and encountered the following issue…

    My footer text does not show on the page. In this theme there four footer options, not a single one appears on the page.

    I hope someone can help me with this problem. I would like to use the footer to add text like for example “2012” or place a “Login” hyperlink at the bottom of the page for quick admin login.

    Thanks.

    If you post a link to your site so someone can look at it, you’ll more likely get some assistance.

    By the way, I have performed the following action:

    http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/remove-the-leave-a-comment-link-twenty-ten-inverted-10?replies=8

    Does this has anything to do with the footer problem?

    I’d rather not show the website yet, sorry, it has to do with privacy and copyright and the fact the website is still under construction…

    did you go to the widgets area and added widgets to the footer sections? without a link to your site, it will be very difficult if not impossible to pinpoint the problem.

    Yes, I added for example the Text widget to “First Footer Area” and typed TEST. Saved it and nothing happened.

    Deactivate all plugins and test it. Maybe there is a plugin conflicting with the widgets. Does it work when you add widgets to the right sidebar?
    Also, you may use your browser “view page source” to see if the word “test” is in the footer. Sometimes, some open divs may hide the text.

    I’ve inserted an image to the primary widget area. The image appears in the right side bar, on each page. The same goes for an image in the Secondary widget area.

    I’m going to deactivate all plugins and test it and let know the result.

    De deactivation of the plugins did not work unfortunately.

    But, after checking my page source, this is the footer:

    `<div id=”footer” role=”contentinfo”>
    <div id=”colophon”>
    <div id=”footer-widget-area” role=”complementary”>
    <div id=”first” class=”widget-area”>
    <ul class=”xoxo”>
    <li id=”text-6″ class=”widget-container widget_text”> <div class=”textwidget”>TESTING THE FOOTER</div>

    </div><!– #first .widget-area –>

    <div id=”second” class=”widget-area”>
    <ul class=”xoxo”>
    <li id=”text-4″ class=”widget-container widget_text”> <div class=”textwidget”>TEST</div>

    </div><!– #second .widget-area –>

    <div id=”third” class=”widget-area”>
    <ul class=”xoxo”>
    <li id=”text-3″ class=”widget-container widget_text”> <div class=”textwidget”>THIS IS A TEST</div>

    </div><!– #third .widget-area –>

    </div><!– #footer-widget-area –>

    I wrote TESTING THE FOOTER in the first footer area and deleted the widgets from the second and third widget area, but those are still readable in the source. ??

    I didn’t delete the text in the second and third area, sorry.

    Is the code correct? Or is there an explanation why the text is not displayed on the page?

    It was still showing in the source probably because the page was cached in your browser.
    The good thing is that we now know the footer is working. It is hidden because you probably have an unclosed html tag somewhere in the code. Check the content area to see if you have any open/unclosed html tag there. You can also use the markaup validator to show the HTML errors:
    http://validator.w3.org/

    Edit your previous post and use http://pastebin.com/ to paste your code otherwise a moderator will delete it. We’re not allowed to place any code that has more than 10 lines.

    If you haven’t edited/touched any code on the templates files, then the problem is where you added the text. Maybe there is an unclosed </p> there. Again, use http://validator.w3.org/ and it will show all the unclosed tags.

    I put the webaddress in the validator link and this was the result:

    Error found while checking this document as HTML5!

    Validation Output: 1 Error
    Error Line 130, Column 102: Bad value generator for attribute rel on element a: Keyword generator is not registered.

    …Personal Publishing Platform” rel=”generator”>Proudly powered by WordPress.

    What does this mean?

    Where exactly is the content area?

    click on the “validate by direct input” and paste the whole page source code there (from the browser – not the files) and see what shows up.
