Dear,
I'm so sorry but i'm trying to cange the footer on this website with the copyright sign, the year and my own website (is still under construction)…
I want people to be able to click on my company name and my sebsite will be opened in a new tab 😊
I found this code in your support forum: (I have Generate press pro)
<a href="URL TO OPEN HERE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Infuse Digital Media</a>
I changed it to:
%current_year% - %copy%
<a href="www.studiosoku.be" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Studio Soku</a>
Could you please let me know what I' doing wrong 😊?
Kind regards Nele
Hi there,
i can't see anything wrong with the code you have used. What is wrong about it? Has the copyright info not changed?
Dear David,
thank you for your reply.
When I click on http://www.mywebsite.be (or if I replace it with for example http://www.destandaard.be - that's a website from a Belgian newspaper, so it is def. there) I get a page in the style of the website I am building (DSHomeconsult) en there is the message 'Oops, we couldn't find this page'
I thought this link should work with every link you put in there? no?
Or is this my msitake?
kind regards
Nele
Try updating your url to include the HTTP e.eg
http://www.studiosoku.be or if you have a SSL certificate on the site your linking to https://www.studiosoku.be
Dear David,
thank you for your message...But still a no go. If i try it with HTTP:// for my own website or for example the one of the newspaper it is no longer clickable?
kind regards

I need to the see the site, anychance you can either take down the Under Construction or provide login details via the Account Issue form here:
https://generatepress.com/contact/
If so please add the URL for this topic to the form so we can track.
Dear David,
thank you, I filled in the form and placed the URL and your name in the top :)
So hopefully it will reach you soon!
kind regards,
Nele
Hi there,
You've added this function to the theme functions.php file in "Appearance > Theme Editor":
/*add code to change footer notes*/
add_filter( 'generate_copyright','tu_custom_copyright' );
function tu_custom_copyright()
{ ?> Created by © Studio Soku - 2019 <?php }
/*end of add code to change footer notes*/
If you remove that, the Customizer option will work again :)
Dear Tom,
thank you for your message...I'm so sorry but I don't seem to be able to remove this?
Could you explain to me how to do so? I've tried and looked for a video or somesort online but couldn't find one.
kind regards
Nele
So go to Dashboard > Appearance > Theme Editor, look for file function.php on the right side, find the code Tom specified above and delete it.
Let me know :)
Dear Leo,
I couldn't find the code Tom specified in the function.php, I could find it in the footer.php.
I removed it there...The problem remains. I'm so sorry...
kind regards
Nele
You don't want to remove that one for sure.
Can you add it back in?
I also tried to go to this page to login but it just shows maintenance page:
http://www.dshomeconsult.be/wp_admin
Dear Leo,
I' ve been a complete noob and accidently closed my wordpad with the whole code in it...I've tried to restore an earlier version but I don't think it did the trick..
Sooooo now i have a big problem or...?
I send a specific message to yourfellow worker earlier with the login and pasword because the site needs to be offline for a couple of days.
kind regards
Nele
Try re-installing the theme first.
Can you please make it so we can access the site again?
Hi there Leo,
thanks, I re-installed the theme :-)
...do I need to turn the 'construction mode' off for you to get in?
Thanks by the way for your and your co-workers patience!
Feeling stupid, but less stupid because of you guys great communication ;)!
kind regards
Nele
