Hi Josh, I just wanted to let you know I have successfully installed your storefront child theme and the footer text has been modified as per our previous discussion. Many thanks for this you have been a great help, and I am going to reference your work in my Final Year Project documentation and also put a thanks in my “Acknowledgements” section within my final report.

On another note I want to apologise for asking you about the Dynamic Pricing plugin, I just wanted your opinion but I have since found a section within the plugin docs that covers moving it to another site so I should be able to manage it on my own.

Once again thanks for all your help 🙂

lol I bet it is, i’vmanaged to do it myself using other themes but I just couldn’t seem to get it working this time lol.

I’v had a look at your child theme starter and it’s a really helpful resource. But before I implement your fix I need to correct a different issue in which I have made a bit of a school boy error i’m afraid.

In my haste to get my project finished I started working on my main url, when infact I believe I should be using a subdomain I believe it is called.

I’m working on “jackieboydesigns.co.uk” when I should be working on “jackieboydesigns.co.uk/FYP”

Is that a new subdomain I need? And if so are they easy to set up? Do I just contact my web hosting provider?”

Also I was kindly given permission by WooCommerce Team to use a premium plugin called “Dynamic Pricing” with a single site license, if i uninstall from my original url then re-install on the new subdomain name will it still work do you think?

will do thanks very much. i am looking at your starter pack now, very good idea and i’m sure it will be very helpful 🙂

I have posted a request at the help centre so hopefully i will get help from there, but any replies here would be much appreciated.

Hi Guys, I’m having the exact same problem as described here. I am doing my Final Year Project for my degree at university and I have to demonstrate I can modify the theme and make my own version of Storefront.

I have created a child theme and so far I just have a style.css file in it which imports the styles from the parent theme but also allows me to make changes to the css.

When I add the function.php file with the modified code suggested by MJepson my site just goes blank. My function.php file now looks like this:

<?php
/**
* storefront engine room
*
* @package storefront
*/

/**
* Initialize all the things.
*/
require get_template_directory() . ‘/inc/init.php’;

/**
* Note: Do not add any custom code here. Please use a child theme so that your customizations aren’t lost during updates.
* http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes
*/

add_action( ‘init’, ‘custom_remove_footer_credit’, 10 );

function custom_remove_footer_credit () {
remove_action( ‘storefront_footer’, ‘storefront_credit’, 20 );
add_action( ‘storefront_footer’, ‘custom_storefront_credit’, 20 );
}

function custom_storefront_credit() {
?>
<div class=”site-info”>
© <?php echo get_bloginfo( ‘name’ ) . ‘ ‘ . get_the_date( ‘Y’ ); ?>
</div><!– .site-info –>
<?php
}

Please can you help me fix this issue, or better still help me to edit the footer so it displays modified text from this:
