Inserting text after footer content using hook

Hi there,

Can you try inserting the text using the footer bar widget area first?

Then set the alignment to center:

Then we can just tweak the layout with a bit of CSS if needed.

Let me know :)

Hi Leo, I can do what you suggested using the footer bar, but I wanted to create a separate container area so I can target with specific CSS (alignment, background etc).

I was able to do this using Elements module, but just wondered if there was a code snippet I could use instead.

I don't need to add any other code in Elements, so not sure it was worth activating.

Thanks.

We should be able to do that with the footer bar area.

Any chance you can link me to the page in question?

Sorry Leo, it's on local development.

I was was hoping that there was a snippet I could use to target that area, and insert the text e.g.

add_action( 'generate_after_footer','example_function_name' );  
function example_function_name() { ?> 
    <div class="after-footer-area">
    Insert my text here...
</div>
<?php }

Apologies if the above is incorrect, I'm still trying to understand PHP.

Thanks.

Hey, I just checked and that actually worked!!! :)

Yup that looks good.

But there is really no advantage to do that over the footer bar widget area from what I can tell.

It basically introduces extra functions.

I must have made a typo somewhere.

I hope that's the correct way to target the after footer area :)

I will try your other suggestion too.

Thanks Leo.
