.....I just want to add some options like allowing the user to update the footer text.

Which extra options do you want to add to your footer template from codes above?

You should show which you want so that someone can help you out.

 

[ron13315]

the footer text, i already added this code inside the theme-options.php but not showing.

<?php
    $options[] = array(
        'name' => __('Footer Text', 'options_check'),
        'desc' => __('Add some info on the footer.', 'options_check'),
        'id' => 'footer_text',
        'std' => 'Some sample info',
        'type' => 'text');    
?>

i can give you the answer or you can read this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields and maybe figure out where things are going wrong. Might I suggest looking at the inputs you already have on the page and working, and learn how to emulate those, but with a text box. (the 2 working elements are Checkbox and Radio )

 

[ron13315]

ron13315

can you show me your answer?

its really hard for me to figure it out.

this is what i did.

<input type="text" id="dm_options[footer_text]" name="dm_options[footer_text]" <?php $dm_options['footer_text']; ?> />

the code i have inside my footer.php

<?php if ($dm_options['footer_text'] == 1) { ?>
<?php echo $dm_options['footer_text'] ?>
<?php } ?>

Hi Ron,

That's not the way I would amend the footer details as when you update the theme all of your modifications will be removed.

The way I do it is to setup a child theme and then copy the footer php file into that child folder with amending the footer code directly. In Wordpress all you need to do is activate your child theme....

In total it takes less than 5 minutes to set it up the way I explained...

For info on child theme setup check out this article. Personally I just do it the old way using a CSS file header only e.g.

1) Create a folder called 'ThemeName-child' in your themes folder noting to replace ThemeName with the name of your theme.


2) Create a new CSS file with the below code:

/*
 Theme Name:   Theme Name Child Theme
 Theme URI:      http://www.youthemeurl.com/
 Description:     Your Theme Description
 Author:           Your Themes
 Author URI:     http://www.whatitis.com
 Template:       Theme Name
 Version:         1.0.0
*/
 
@import url("../ThemeName/style.css");
 
/* =Theme customization starts here

i.e. Use your original theme's CSS code to populate the above and make sure to reference the correct @import url


3) Copy your the footer.php from your original theme to the child theme folder and change the footer URL directly.

4) Go into WP and activate your new child theme. Everything should work the way you want it too - and best of all you can update your theme without breaking the changes you made!


Hope that helps!

Hi sir @elcidofaguy, correct if im wrong. i read the article you mentioned, it said

A child theme consists of at least one directory (the child theme directory) and two files (style.css and functions.php), which you will need to create.

but since you mention that i can copy my footer.php to child theme then i can just duplicate my theme and rename it as themename-child so i can preserved all modification in all templates.

sorry for the late response. i just finished my theme and i think creating the child theme is the last thing i need to do.
