I would like to alter my footer, but I don’t have the ‘Predefined Content’ section in my Theme Panel, Footer section.
My screen shows:
Footer settings
Footer info content
Sub Footer settings
Thanks for the help.
I just did this myself…
Note “style 1” has the pre-defined blocks; which you cannot actually change cols 2 + 3; only add stuff to col 1 from the panel. This is quick start for folks to not have empty footer.
I wanted to keep the 3 column, and have col one use the pre-defined logo, block of text and social icons, and then blank cols 2 and 3.
footer settings > templates
So, from the footer settings, click on the little image which shows the first column having stuff in it, and the second/third empty — in my case “style 2”
Then you can use the appearance > widgets to put anything into cols 2 + 3
OR: choose the footer template you want by clicking on the graphic, and then save.
It *is* a little different than last version of Newsmag, but much better I think 🙂
Duh, that was simple. Thank you!
While I have you, I have ‘popular tags’ in the second section of the footer. Would you know how I would limit the number of tags displayed?
Thanks again.
I jumped from 1.4 to 1.6 — so still “discovering” some things also 🙂
For tags … I think there is a better plugin for doing tags, frankly. Somebody else had example of this earlier this week .. where they were nice little tags with nicer styling. I think you have to use either plugin, or add something to functions file to limit number of tags.
Hmmm. Could not find a function over ride for that.
On our old site we actually hooked that manually either via shortcode or placing the call directly in the area….
e.g.,
<?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=36&order=RAND&number=75'); ?>

convoluted

add short code to any text widget- edit for functions.php
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

I was just trying to do this myself, Then decided to just use in sidebar. Then decided to do something else as my brain was hurting ….

possible simple plugin widget (have not yet tried)
