[Support request] Dev Theme Footer

[Matt]

Hi Guys,

I am building a theme based of the ‘Dev’ template and can’t for the life of me find where the footer template/ block is actually declared. I can’t see it in the Elements editor?? Where should I be looking?

Thanks

Hi,

I’m not exactly I understand what you mean.

To clarify: Did you mean the footer elements? The footer elements in Dev template are added as a widgets placed on footer widget 1 to 4 and footer bar.

As for the actual generated DOM structure of the footer bar, it is written within the theme’s footer.php

Ok.. I want to hide this footer and use my own custom footer. Can i do this?

Thanks

Yes. Delete the footer widgets and create your own footer element using the generate_footer hook.

Hey Matt,

Do you have an example of what you are trying to achieve?

Let me know 🙂

[Matt]

It’s just a custom footer. The current footer with widgets etc doesn’t work for my use case.

I have setup a ‘bloc’ element with an image and some text.
Settings:
Block Type – Hook
Hook – Generate Footer
Priority – 10
Location – Entire Site

Although this footer does display, it doesn’t remove the default footer.

[Leo]

Strange. Any chance you can link us to the page in question?

[Bryan]

You may have to go to Appearance > Widgets and delete all of the footer widgets.

[Matt]

Removing the widgets at Appearance > Widgets did the trick.

Thanks for the help guys!
