Footer strange behaviour after replacing with BB footer in theme

Beaver Builder
1

I’ve managed to get the header to work using the Genesis Dynamik theme by following Robby’s tutorial - but get a strange result with the footer.

The page footer has three columns on it - Company Info, Latest News and Get Social – but when it replaces the theme footer using a hook, I only get two of the cols showing up Company Info and Latest News – the Get Social doesn’t appear.

Page Footer: http://newdesignkitchens.burntwoodwebdesign.co.uk/footer/
Actual Footer: http://newdesignkitchens.burntwoodwebdesign.co.uk

Any thoughts?

Hey Mark,

Do you mind sharing temp admin access to the site so we can check?

Mark! Sorry about that. New technique, so I guess we have some new quirks/bugs to sort through. =/

Did you modify your footer.php file like I did in the vid? Any chance we could get FTP info, too? I’ll pop in (if I can) and take a peek. Thanks!

No worries mate - I’ve given Ben the access details - do want them as well?

I’ve also noticed that the fonts haven’t carried over either - very odd

Yeah, I noticed that too. No worries, I can see the info too.

Although, it might help to get FTP info in addition to the WordPress login info. Especially if you modified your footer file like I did in the video! :wink:

Hi Robby, I used the widget areas feaure in Dynamik to replace the header and footer - although, if I select genesis_footer - the BB page footer doesn’t appear - changing it to before or after footer displays it, but it’s obviously not replacing the footer - but the header works fine.

Any help on this from you guys will be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark!

Okay, I made some progress on this one.

It looks like the Genesis Featured Posts widget is causing the problem. I tried removing it and the footer rendered normally.

Bad news is, I am afraid that widget might not be compatible with this technique.

Good news is, I tried using our Posts Module (which can do the exact same thing) and it does work! You’ll probably need to edit the styles a bit to make it look the same, but you can do this using our module. :slight_smile:

Regarding the font change, you have some CSS that targets the dynamik-widget-area class. Assuming since you’re using the Dynamik Widget Area to create the footer, yeah? You’ll need to either remove that CSS or be specifically target it (and fix it) with new CSS.

Hope this helps! :slight_smile: Let me know if you have any other questions.
