Help Needed - Wordpress Footer Widgets Are Reversed

by 6 replies

Hello Warriors,

I have a client that is very particular to minute details. One issue I have is my footer widgets reversed order and show on opposite sides for example footer widget 1 appears where footer widget 4 should show up.

When I move the content from footer widget 1 to the widget 4 area then on mobile it shows up correctly and only desktop is reversed which my client absolutely will not allow.

Any ideas on how to fix the Footer Menu/Widget Order on a wordpress website?

Thank you

  • Most likely you have the code in the php template for the footer mixed up. Can you attach that file here so I can take a look?

  • As a web administrator, you should probably have some programming experience for stuff like this. I assume you're using a template you bought? Post your footer.php file and I'll take a look.

    Another thing you should be using is firebug to inspect the elements so you can identify them(I'm sure you' might be aware but just in case). In addition, I also recommend an IDE like Netbeans with remote server upload - aka it updates your files on save. In addition you can search all your files for stuff, which makes reverse engineering so much easier.

    Best,

  • Techalo,

    Yes, I agree. To be honest I normally do very simple websites with Wordpress templates because my main focus is internet marketing. This website I am talking about has been the most advanced and I hired a programmer who has switched some things around without my knowledge.

    I posted the footer.php code above and also read that the functions.php file may have something to do with it as well.
  • Hi SoCal,

    The footer.php file looks file - These are basic statements, so the problem is not the footer.

    Help me understand this just a little better - Lets say you have widget 1 & widget 4 populated with data (just for examples sake) - When you look at it on mobile, the widget 1 would come before widget 4, as it should, correct? And you're saying that on Desktop, widget 4, comes before widget 1?

    Please advise - In addition, you can PM me the link to the site and I'll see if anything stands out.

    Best,
    Will
  • Will,

    Yes you are correct in your statements above. I will PM you the website, thank you for your assistance and I will keep you in mind for any website changes/projects if interested
