Hi @All,

i’am new here and i try to add a additional link to the website https://logopaedie-zahn.de

Of course i read some (not all) of the posts wich are talking about to change the links or remove them.

Please, don’t misunderstand my idea! Id don’t want to remove your credits like the guy in this post: http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/how-to-replace-the-footer-credits/ !

I would easily add a link for the data, cookie and security guidings at my site and the idea was to add it into the footer, so it could displayed very easy on every page.

Maybe you could help me a little bit?
Unfortunately i’am not a PHP Developer, so that it is not easy for me to understand all the functions and the places where they would be defined and why.
I’ve created a child theme, and deactivated some search boxes, which i don’t need.

Kind regards,

Axel

Hi @towerlexa,

Thank you for the consideration.
Assuming you have already created the child theme. Add following codes in your child theme’s functions.php.
```
function catchresponsive_child_footer_content() {
	//catchresponsive_flush_transients();
	if ( ( !$catchresponsive_footer_content = get_transient( 'catchresponsive_footer_content' ) ) ) {
		echo '';

		$catchresponsive_content = catchresponsive_get_content();

		$catchresponsive_footer_content =  '
    	<div id="site-generator">
    		<div class="wrapper">
    			<div id="custom-links">
    			    <a title="Data Link" href="#" target="_self">Data Link</a> |
    			    <a title="Cookie Link" href="#" target="_self">Cookie Link</a> |
    			    <a title="Security Link" href="#" target="_self">Security Link</a>
    			</div>
    			<div id="footer-content" class="copyright">'
    				. $catchresponsive_content['left']
    				. ' | '
    				. $catchresponsive_content['right'] .
    			'</div>
			</div>
		</div>';

    	set_transient( 'catchresponsive_footer_content', $catchresponsive_footer_content, 86940 );
    }

    echo $catchresponsive_footer_content;
}

add_action( 'init', 'catchresponsive_child_add_links_in_footer' );

function catchresponsive_child_add_links_in_footer() {
	remove_action( 'catchresponsive_footer', 'catchresponsive_footer_content', 100 );
	add_action( 'catchresponsive_footer', 'catchresponsive_child_footer_content', 100 );
}
```
Note: Please change the title and href attributes of the anchor tags to your desired title and links. If you want the link to open link in the save window/tab leave the target attribute as it is but if you want it to open in new tab, replace “_self” with “_blank”.

Mahesh

Hi @nuzzina,

If you want to customize the footer text, I recommend you to upgrade to Pro version. But if you prefer to add extra link in Free version, you’ll need to create a child theme. You can find more details on creating child theme HERE. Then in your child theme’s functions.php add the following codes.
```
function clean_box_child_footer_content() {
    delete_transient( 'clean_box_footer_content' );
    if ( ( !$clean_box_footer_content = get_transient( 'clean_box_footer_content' ) ) ) {
        echo '';

        $clean_box_content = clean_box_get_content();

        $clean_box_footer_content =  '
        <div id="site-generator" class="two">
            <div class="wrapper">
                <div id="custom-links">
                    <a title="Link 1" href="#" target="_self">Link 1</a> |
                    <a title="Link 2" href="#" target="_self">Link 2</a>
                </div>
                <div id="footer-left-content" class="copyright">' . $clean_box_content['left'] . '</div>

                <div id="footer-right-content" class="powered">' . $clean_box_content['right'] . '</div>
            </div>
        </div>';

        set_transient( 'clean_box_footer_content', $clean_box_footer_content, 86940 );
    }

    echo $clean_box_footer_content;
}

add_action('init', 'clean_box_child_add_links_in_footer');
function clean_box_child_add_links_in_footer() {
    remove_action( 'clean_box_footer', 'clean_box_footer_content', 100 );
    add_action( 'clean_box_footer', 'clean_box_child_footer_content', 100 );
}
```
Note: Please change the title and href attributes of the anchor tags to your desired title and links. If you want the link to open link in the save window/tab leave the target attribute as it is but if you want it to open in new tab, replace “_self” with “_blank”.

Hello

I would make the same like towerlexa, and I copied the code in my function.php below this code:

———————————————————
<?php
/**
* Child Theme functions and definitions
*
*/

/**
* Loading Parent theme stylesheet
*
*/
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘catchresponsive_child_enqueue_styles’ );
function catchresponsive_child_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘catchresponsive-parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
}
———————————————————

But it doesn’t work.
I don’t know why, can help me someone?

Thanks and kind regards

Hi!

I’m trying to activate my child theme with this code, but not works.
```
<?php
/**
 * Child Theme functions and definitions
 *
 */

function catchresponsive_child_footer_content() {
	//catchresponsive_flush_transients();
	if ( ( !$catchresponsive_footer_content = get_transient( 'catchresponsive_footer_content' ) ) ) {
		echo '';

		$catchresponsive_content = catchresponsive_get_content();

		$catchresponsive_footer_content =  '
    	<div id="site-generator">
    		<div class="wrapper">
    			<div id="custom-links">
    			    <a title="Data Link" href="#" target="_self">Data Link</a> |
    			    <a title="Cookie Link" href="#" target="_self">Cookie Link</a> |
    			    <a title="Security Link" href="#" target="_self">Security Link</a>
    			</div>
    			<div id="footer-content" class="copyright">'
    				. $catchresponsive_content['left']
    				. ' | '
    				. $catchresponsive_content['right'] .
    			'</div>
			</div>
		</div>';

    	set_transient( 'catchresponsive_footer_content', $catchresponsive_footer_content, 86940 );
    }

    echo $catchresponsive_footer_content;
}

add_action( 'init', 'catchresponsive_child_add_links_in_footer' );

function catchresponsive_child_add_links_in_footer() {
	remove_action( 'catchresponsive_footer', 'catchresponsive_footer_content', 100 );
	add_action( 'catchresponsive_footer', 'catchresponsive_child_footer_content', 100 );
 
 
 

/**
 * Loading Parent theme stylesheet
 *
 */
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'catchresponsive_child_enqueue_styles' );
function catchresponsive_child_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'catchresponsive-parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
```

Can you help me?

@sziszi: Seems you are missing a closing curly brace (}) in the function catchresponsive_child_add_links_in_footer because of this it is displaying the error.
```
function catchresponsive_child_add_links_in_footer() {
	remove_action( 'catchresponsive_footer', 'catchresponsive_footer_content', 100 );
	add_action( 'catchresponsive_footer', 'catchresponsive_child_footer_content', 100 );
```
which should be like as follows:
```
function catchresponsive_child_add_links_in_footer() {
	remove_action( 'catchresponsive_footer', 'catchresponsive_footer_content', 100 );
	add_action( 'catchresponsive_footer', 'catchresponsive_child_footer_content', 100 );
}
```
Hope this helps.
Let me know if any problem.

Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,

How do you apply/activate the child theme without it overiding the parent theme and goes back to the default theme?

Cheers,
Rob

@robertl: Sorry for the late reply. Can you please clarify more. Do you mean to just use Child theme without any customization?

@flavio: If you are using Catch Responsive free theme, please refer to this thread.
https://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/adding-a-link-to-the-footer/#post-83784
This is how it is done. In Catch Responsive Pro theme, this options is available by default. I recommend you to upgrade to Catch Responsive Pro.

Mahesh
