In reply to: [Mesmerize] Custom Footer CreditTWO options that work, and work well.
(1) For partial removal (or full, but option 2 is easier)
Try “Remove Footer Credit” plugin by Macho Themes. View the page source, select the html code relevant to the footer and then enter it into the plugin. On the corresponding line in the replacement box, enter what you want instead. Leave the line(s) (in the replacement box) blank to blank the portion of the footer line.Once installed, go to:
– Tools->Remove Footer CreditSo, I left the “(c) 2017 Owner” portion and blanked the rest. For instance, I have one line that’s “Built using WordPress and the Mesmerize Theme” in “Step 1”. The corresponding line in “Step 2” is blank. It’s that simple – just remember to count your lines if you’re substituting (since the edit boxes don’t have line numbers).
Find it here:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/remove-footer-credit/(2) Hide the footer text entirely
Use the following css code snippet to hide the footer text entirely:.copyright{display:none;}As suggested elsewhere, create a child theme first, then, in the “Customize” tool, go to:
General Settings->Additional CSSDrop it in there, and “Publish” the change. The entire footer paragraph text will disappear.
I had the same problem, and it turned out the gd module was not activated in PHP. Uncommenting the appropriate line in the php.ini file and restarting Apache resolved this.
friggasdaughter: try closing any wp-admin pages, clearing your cache, restarting your browser and going to the particular admin page again. Sounds like an IE issue?
Apologies guys… of all people, I too should know how difficult it can be to get end users to understand such things and follow through – as well as the fact that it ends up being us who look bad (instead of Microsoft) if we dont figure out every kludge to make the various versions of IE work on our sites.
I’ve ended up opting for dropping IE6 support. I wish I could go farther – but like you all say, it’ll be me that looks bad, not MS. At least with IE6, I can point to the tremendous age of the browser (and lack of further support from Microsoft) as a reason to them for no longer supporting it.
evster: the solution is to never ever use Internet Explorer for anything other than testing the site to see what it’s poor standards compliance screws up. Additionally, since Microsoft’s “Help us make IE better” default setup means sending all sorts of data about what you’re viewing or doing, I personally also NEVER use IE for any back end stuff like admin control panels.
I for one, after over a decade of catering to the various IE quirks, am about ready to give up on tweaking things to work on IE, or crippling certain features that cannot be gotten working properly. YMMV.
Oh believe me, no intentions on trying to worry about the nightmare of making it work on v1.x – and besides, I planned on passing the code back to you so you can update the plugin. I really don’t need any special credit or anything for such a small update.
It’s not much, but I have sent a token of my appreciation…
Hmmm… that’s odd. I find it’s going to be indispensible to me for our new website (which we are currently migrating from a static site to a WordPress site).
I’ll get to the changes as soon as I can and let you know.
Thanks again,
RobI will probably hardcode it to start…
If you do not have the time to make an update, I may take that upon myself if you dont mind, and then pass the changes on to you. And of course, if you do have the time to make an update, then it makes it really simple for me – I’ll just hardcode it until you are done.
Best,
RobPS: Thanks for a great plugin!
That way (with the additional option), the SMF text link will always be built properly, regardless of whether the WP user is using a subdomain, subdirectory, combination of the two, or pretty much whatever else.
SMF Text link…
Cool…
So, what I am thinking is one more field on the configuration options would resolve that regardless of sub-domain, sub-directory, etc.
It could be:
Enter URL to SMF’s index.php
The data expected could then simply be:
subdomain.mysite.com/index.php
or
http://www.mysite.com/index.php
or
http://www.mysite.com/forums/index.php
Or whatever… and it will work with any variant or mix of them.
Hi,
Yes, it is…
There is no option to specify the domain for the SMF forums though (at least not in the version of the plugin I am using, which is .4)
So, when I make a WP post on http://www.mysite.com, the link should be to forums.mysite.com/index.php?etc
Instead, the link created is:
www.mysite.com../forums_STP2/index.php?topic=11954.0Note it is assuming the forums are a subDIRECTORY… I am using a subDOMAIN.
Best,
RobPS: Thanks for the amazingly quick response!
Same question here. Nor can I seem to add new options – perhaps because I have a child theme?
Nevermind… this (below) oddly worked:
../../SMF_Directory
