[SOLVED] Footer showup question

Innocent · #1 Feb 7, 2011, 01:40 PM

if (!is_search() ) {..........}

I tried to wrap footer code in ATA (style and edit center column) to stop showing in search results, but that doesn't work.

I am not sure is this really called 'search results' as I am talking about posts/pages that are compiled by tags.

(last Atahualpa and WP version)

(so you are on Atahualpa 3.6.1 and WP 3.0.3?)

Innocent · #3 Feb 7, 2011, 03:53 PM

Atahualpa 3.6.4 WP 3.0.4

Could you explain a little more about what you are trying to do?

Innocent · #5 Feb 8, 2011, 04:41 AM

I am trying to disable post/page footer info to show in search/tag results.
When suggested list of posts appears, each has a visible admin, date, comments, social bookmarks etc that are in footer (though pages don't have footer configured, but those info still show).

add to CSS Inserts

HTML Code:

body.search #footer {display:none;}

Innocent · #7 Feb 8, 2011, 06:55 AM

Tried, footer's still there

In a meanwhile, I updated my WP, so now it is 3.0.5

juggledad · #8 Feb 8, 2011, 06:58 AM

Works for me, that's all I added. What is your url?

Innocent · #9 Feb 8, 2011, 07:37 AM

http://kteis.com/tag/black/

I don't see a search on your page??
explain, with steps, what you do on the page to get a search.

Innocent · #11 Feb 8, 2011, 08:35 AM

The results are compiled referring to tags (see the link http://kteis.com/tag/black/), I don't have any search link on my site.
I am using Simple-tags plugin to configure tags for pages, but they work without that plugin, too.
To get the results you need to pull some of the options from the menu in left sidebar.

juggledad · #12 Feb 8, 2011, 09:45 AM

so you are not doing a search, you are looking at a tag page. to remove the footer you use the CSS Rule 'display:none;' and just have to put it with a CSS selector.

The selector will be in the format of 'body.xxxxxxx #footer' so you will have

HTML Code:

body.xxxxxx #footer {display:none;}

where xxxxxxx is a class on the <body>. You should go to the page in question and then view the source and find the <body and use an appropriate class to finish the statement.

Using Firebug with Firefox is a good way to find these things

Innocent · #13 Feb 8, 2011, 09:48 AM

oh, great idea - firebug (somehow i always forget about it)

many thanks, juggledad!

btw, am I supposed to see Gold forums?

juggledad · #14 Feb 8, 2011, 09:59 AM

you should be able to see them, click the 'home' link and you will see all the forums

Innocent · #15 Feb 8, 2011, 10:46 AM

Yes, I see that they are existing, but I can't get to read them.

Innocent · #16 Feb 11, 2011, 01:38 PM

I looked at the Firebug to find name of the selector, and this is it:

body class=archive tag tag-black logged-in

Now, I tried this code:

body.archive #footer {display:none;}

without result.

So, can you pls tell me what am I missing here?

Also, I can't read gold forums, says 'private'.

juggledad · #17 Feb 11, 2011, 07:58 PM

Reason you couldn't get to the gold forum was you never replied to the email to confirm your registration. I fixed it so try again

Innocent · #18 Feb 12, 2011, 05:51 AM

I don't remember receiving any confirmation e mail, but ok, I see the forum now, thanks.

Do you have any idea on my footer problem?

juggledad · #19 Feb 12, 2011, 07:11 AM

Your CSS is incorrect. Did you try exactly what I showed (substutine 'archive' for 'xxxxxx'?

HTML Code:

body.xxxxxx #footer {display:none;}

on your page I see

HTML Code:

body.archive/tag #footer {display:none;}

body.archive tag tag-yellow #footer {display:none;}

the selectors are invalid. If you want the footer to NOT display when you are on a page that has both the classes of 'archive' and 'tag-yellow, you would use

HTML Code:

body.archive.tag-yellow #footer {display:none;}

If you want to get outside the given theme options and customize your site, you must learn CSS and html.

Innocent · #20 Feb 12, 2011, 07:28 AM

Ok, thanks, I was just trying different combination as I really don't know much about CSS and html and I hope I can learn something while customizing my site.

Innocent · #21 Feb 12, 2011, 07:37 AM

body.archive.tag-yellow #footer {display:none;}

However, this code isn't working either.

juggledad · #22 Feb 12, 2011, 08:07 AM

Sure that code is working, go to the 'color yellow' page and there is no footer.

It's doing what you told it to do, which might not be what you want it to do.

Innocent · #23 Feb 12, 2011, 08:12 AM

Yes, the site footer is missing, but I was talking about post/page footer as called in Atahualpa. I don't know how else to name that.

I'm sorry, I thought you wanted the page footer gone. If you want the post footer's gone on the archive page for tag-yellow use

HTML Code:

body.archive.tag-yellow .post-footer {display:none;}

Innocent · #25 Feb 12, 2011, 04:38 PM

YES!
That's it! Thanks, juggledad!
