First you need make a child theme to edit default Twenty Eleven theme
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes
you will need copy footer.php file in your child theme then in child theme footer.php you can edit this divdiv id="site-generator"> <?php do_action( 'twentyeleven_credits' ); ?> <a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'http://ww.wp.xz.cn/', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'twentyeleven' ); ?>" rel="generator"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'twentyeleven' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a> </div>Dear Govpatel,
Thank you for the prompt response.As per your instruction, I have created a Twenty Eleven-Child theme in my wp_content-theme directory.
I have follow your specific instruction however I tried to launch twenty eleven-child unfortunately, I cannot find it in my Theme: Twenty Eleven-Child (perhaps I have got it wrong)
My website is http://cxmcapital.com/
Should I used a different naming convention? If YES, please advise?
My goal is to change a simple text from “Proudly powered by WordPress” to “Entire Content Copyright 2008-2012 by CXM Capital Inc”WordPress is a great Tool/Provider/Platform – simple to use but we try to customize to meet our local requirements.
Thank you for assisting again. Hopefully we can get this right and move on in developing the website to be eCommerce with payment capability. Many thinks to do.
Thanks
CXMWhen you created the child did you add style.css file in the child theme folder and have this at top
/* Theme Name: Twentyeleven Child Description: Child theme for the twentyeleven theme Author: Your name here Template: twentyeleven */ @import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");then copy footer.php file.
If so if you go to Appearance>>>>>Themes and you should see the child theme there.When I created the twentyeleven child – I merely created the Directory – TwentyEleven-Child by copying over the twentyeleven Directory and rename it to twentyeleven-child as my Web Hosting is with http://www.godaddy.com
In the wp-content -> themes Directory
We have Sub-Directory – twentyeleven
Newly created Sub-Directory under themes as per your instruction – was -twentyeleven-childIn both of these Sub-Directories we have only files like
-editor-style-rtl.css
-editor-style.css
-footer.phpI am not able to find style.css file except of the above.
I am no expert in CODEX or WORDPRESS and I am trying to make my FIRST ATTEMPT on WORDPRESS a successful experience so that we can promtply put something up while we work hard to ge the business outthere.I am not able to find style.css except those mentioned above in the twentyeleven main directories.
Would appreciate if you could guide me through – after, this is only a small amendments of the footer.php file and not the entire WordPress twentyeleven program etc.
Thank You
CXM
We hopestyle.css file is there in twenty eleven theme check again as the theme will not work without the file I see it in code
/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.cssLooks like you still have parent theme active.
Your child theme folder can only have two files style.css with the code I posted above and any changes you want to make to the theme styling you add the code in style.css and make the change.
As for footer you need copy the file in child theme folder and then make the change in the file as I posted.
I manage to find the syle.css file in Page 2 of the twentyeleven-child directory
I have also added the following based on your instruction in the style.css file
*** For Your Ref ***************

However I now experience a different problem when I try to
http://cxmcapital.com/The following is the error message
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare twentyeleven_excerpt_length() (previously declared in /home/content/30/7756930/html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven-child/functions.php:318) in /home/content/30/7756930/html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/functions.php on line 320
Really need help to fix this – otherwise I have to revert back to twentyeleven (original version)
Thank you for your help again
CXMAs I said in my post you do not need the whole directory as child theme all you need is files you making changes in, and style.css is must with just what I have in post unless you making any changes in code
and you have functions.php file in directory and you only add functions that you modify or add in child theme functions.php file.So Go ahead and delete all you have in child theme folder and create style.css file and add this to file
/* Theme Name: Twentyeleven Child Description: Child theme for the twentyeleven theme Author: Your name here Template: twentyeleven */ @import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");then copy footer.php file from twentyeleven theme into child theme folder
then make the change in div at bottom
div id="site-generator"> <?php do_action( 'twentyeleven_credits' ); ?> <a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'http://cxmcapital.com/', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'twentyeleven' ); ?>" rel="generator"><?php printf( __( 'Entire Content Copyright 2008-2012 by CXM Capital Inc' ), 'Cxm Capital' ); ?></a> </div>You make any changes in ‘ ‘ marks
Hi Govpatel,
Thank you for all your advise and instruction – it is indeed super helpful. I finally got my cxmcapital.com website working again
Only one small problem.
The footer is not on centralize page
http://cxmcapital.com/Are you able to advise where did I go wrong?
Thanks again
CXMLooks like you have changed the code from what was there as I do not see
<div id=”site-generator”> as that site-generator div centers and styles the divI see this in code
<footer id="colophon" role="contentinfo"> <a rel="generator" title="Semantic Personal Publishing Platform" href="http://cxmcapital.com/">Entire Content Copyright © 2008-2012 by CXM CAPITAL INC</a>I did use your proposed code earlier:
*** Proposed by Govpatel***
div id=”site-generator”>
<?php do_action( ‘twentyeleven_credits’ ); ?>
” title=”<?php esc_attr_e( ‘Semantic Personal Publishing Platform’, ‘twentyeleven’ ); ?>” rel=”generator”><?php printf( __( ‘Proudly powered by %s’, ‘twentyeleven’ ), ‘WordPress’ ); ?>
</div>
*** End of Code ***
Based on the above code
‘div id=”site-generator”>’ was display in the footer itself/
Hence when I removed it – I have footer that you are now seeing – which is align to Left of the Page.
If I follow your instruction – please visit http://cxmcapital.com
that is the another problem which I do not know how to fix either.Would appreciate a line response at the soonest on how to fix the div id=”site-generator”> being display
Thanking you in advance
CXMI see the problem my mistake in that code there < missing in front of div
<div id="site-generator"> <?php do_action( 'twentyeleven_credits' ); ?> <a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'http://cxmcapital.com/', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'twentyeleven' ); ?>" rel="generator"><?php printf( __( 'Entire Content Copyright 2008-2012 by CXM Capital Inc' ), 'Cxm Capital' ); ?></a> </div>Copy this code in your childtheme footer.php replacing the same code with ww.wp.xz.cn as url
Thank you so much – it is working as per your instruction.
This is perfect.You are welcome I am sorry about the error
