Can't see footer on site

15 replies
Hi Guys, I have tried to add my privacy policy on the bottom of my site on wordpress toptech theme by going to widgets>text, then i added the title and privacy policy info and saved it to footer 1.

It shows in my widget area but its not showing up on my site, and I have also checked to make sure that footer widgets are enabled.

Can anyone help me?

    I think most blogs face the problem of SPAM comments, and many will consider to disable comments.

    Also, could you tell us what theme you are using. If it's a premium theme you should really contact the developer/vendor for support.

      You can add your footer items by editing your footer.php.

      Be sure to backup that php file before doing anything.

    I'd recommend against using a theme that has a bunch of random links in the footer. You should also check your theme for potentially malicious or unwanted code using this free plugin:
    WordPress › Theme Authenticity Checker (TAC) « WordPress Plugins

    You can add a link to your privacy policy page like this:
    <div id="credits">Powered by <a href="http://wordpress.org/"><strong>WordPress</strong></a> |<a href="YOUR PAGE URL">Privacy Policy</a>| Designed by: <a href="http://www.bristolairportparkingshop.com/">Cheap Bristol Airort Parking</a> | Thanks to <a href="http://www.steamgeneratorirons.org.uk/">Steam Generator Iron</a>, <a href="http://www.goldpricecalculator.org.uk/">Gold Price Calculator</a> and <a href="http://www.goldpriceuk.org.uk/">Gold Price uk</a></div><!-- #credits -->

    Hi, I tried inserting the code you highlighted in red and now the whole site won't show. Please can someone help me with this, I put so much work into this site and it won't load up now.

    I saved the whole code on notepad for backup and tried to insert it the way it was and its not working, if you type in the URL you can see it says:

    "All the links in the footer should remain intact. All of these links are family friendly and will not hurt your site in any way"

    Please can someone help as this is my first attempt at a site.

    Danny

    The problem is with the theme, the code I gave you just adds a link to your footer and it should cause no issue whatsoever, it does not remove any links so they are intact indeed. As far as I remember these type of themes use eval encryption. Best to avoid sites that provide encoded themes.

    Activate the 2010 theme. Then delete the theme you were using and find a free theme that you can install via themes/add new. There are thousands to choose from.

    That way you will get a free theme that doesn't have a stack of links to spam sites added to the footer code.

    The content and plugins won't be gone, that has nothing to do with the theme.
