\n
New Flexibility plus Enhanced Webmaster Experience
\n
Changing the footer ‘Copyright/Credits’ & ‘Return to Top’ in Genesis is already easy with the use of Genesis Footer Shortcodes or some other plugins. However, it COULD still be much easier and more flexible with Widgets in WordPress! This plugin just achieves that, and at the same time keeping full Genesis Shortcodes support for the footer section! Yes, it’s that cool! 😉
\n
You can use up to two widget Areas! Place one – full-width then – or two (one third/two thirds then) and get back the flexibility you’ve wanted for this area! Manage your copyright/credits stuff the way YOU want it, without messing up your ‘functions.php’ file… Just place in a text widget with copyright stuff, another one with logos and/or affiliate links, an additional search widget, recent posts widget, some explanation via text widget… You got it. The possibilities are endless. Finally.
\n
A great helper tool for Genesis Child Themes!
\n

Please note: The plugin requires the Genesis Theme Framework, a paid premium product released by StudioPress/ Copyblogger Media LLC (via studiopress.com).

Advantages

Hugely improved webmaster/site owner experience! (Helps decrease the Mmh, how do I customize this footer thing…? experiences)
Easily customizeable for any webmaster: Fully WordPress widget flexibility plus full Genesis Footer Shortcodes support!
No more messing up with ‘functions.php’ file and forget the risk of breaking your child theme way too often…
Developers: Hand this to your clients who want to customize their footer THEMSELVES, there’s no easier tool for that in Genesis!
Included Disclaimer Widget Area for special disclaimer/imprint needs – fully optional, though!
Works across Genesis child themes – so you can switch your “skin” but not loosing this tool 🙂
Ideal for multilingual websites (for example with “WPML”): Much better handling of footer/disclaimer content for different languages. — See bottom of FAQ section here for more info on that.

General Features

Small & lightweight plugin tool: Just activate plugin, place your widget(s) and you’re done!
Replaces Genesis #footer content area with with up to two Widget areas (Sidebars)!\n
- PLEASE NOTE: Not to be confused with the “Footer Widget Areas” which normally come in columns and belong to the #footer-widgets div container ID. This plugin here only changes the regular footer content within the #footer div container ID, the other ‘Footer Widgets #1 etc.’ keep untouched!
- What that means: Manage your copyright and/or disclaimers also widget-based from now on – easy to use and to change! — Indepentendly from this, manage your other regular #footer-widget areas in your child theme (most come with these by default).
- If you only place something into ONE footer widget area (no matter ‘Footer Area #1’ or ‘Footer Area #2’) it will be full-width!
- If you place something into the two footer Widget areas TOGETHER they will change their width: ‘Footer Area #1’ is first from left and will have 33% width (one third), ‘Footer Area #2’ is second to left and will have 66% width (two-thirds). Both values and the float could be overridden via child theme stylesheet (using ‘!important’)
- Adds a few CSS styles for this footer content area to properly divide widgets with some more space (all other styling is recommended via your child theme)
\n
Included is an additional Widget area called “Footer Disclaimer”, this is placed below the #footer div container ID and absolutely optional. Only if you place a widget in there it displays content!\n
- Features full-width plus a real small font-size for disclaimer/ imprint purposes.
- Included are 2 Shortcodes: one handy Shortcode for last updated date for your site; plus Shortcode to display any of the plugin’s 3 Widget areas (if active) into Shortcode-aware content areas.
- Included helper function to place this at the very bottom (genesis_after hook) — See FAQ section here for more info on that.
\n
Child theme compatible: Out of the box it should work really fine with all official child themes by StudioPress pluss all Community/Marketplace child themes from studiopress.com\n
- Includes support for both versions of “Prose” 1.0/1.5.x (has repositioned footer!)
- Includes support for “Metro” 1.0 (has repositioned footer!)
- Includes support for “Pretty Young Thing” 1.0/1.1 (has another footer function)
- Includes support for “Modern Blogger” 1.0 (has another footer function)
- Includes support for “AgentPress” 2.x and “RealPro” 1.0 – the plugin’s disclaimer widget degrades gracefully as “AgentPress” 2.x and RealPro 1.0 have built-in their own.
\n
Resonsive Design of child themes is supported (i.e. keeps untouched!).
Landing Pages via page templates are supported since plugin version 1.2+, that means: ‘Footer Area #1’ or ‘Footer Area #2’ not there in the footer! (Custom disabling via constant is possible, see FAQ here!)
Fully internationalized! Real-life tested and developed with international users in mind!
Fully WPML compatible!
Fully Multisite compatible, you can also network-enable it if ever needed (per site use is recommended).
Tested with WordPress 3.3 branch versions and 3.4 branch versions – also in debug mode (no stuff there, ok? 🙂

For translating I recommend the awesome “Codestyling Localization” plugin and for validating the “Poedit Editor”, which works fine on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Idea Behind / Philosophy

For some client projects I had the request to build the footer stuff with widgets – additional to the optional footer widgets in #footer-widgets container. Better than to implement this in every child theme, I thought of making this into a plugin. So it can be used for almost all Genesis child themes. Once it was done, I also added a fully optional Disclaimer widget area so that it is possible to add more disclaimer/ legal/ imprint/ copyright stuff with a much smaller font presentation. Now, that’s a round thing and I hope it will help some users to better maintain their footer stuff ;-).

Credits

Thanks to all users and supporters of the plugin!
Thanks to all reviewers who actually used the plugin and then gave a good rating. I really appreciate that 🙂 THANK YOU!

\n","faq":"\n

I already use “Genesis Simple Edits” so why in the world do I need this plugin?

If you’re satisfied with your configuration there’s no need for this plugin. Never change a running system :). Otherwise you might find this plugin useful as it also supports all of the Genesis Footer Shortcodes! And you might have even more possibilities then.

Are there any limitations of this plugin?

Yes. If a child theme has repositioned its footer or done other things with that, my plugin cannot work. It relies on the default footer hook of Genesis which is used unchanged by almost all official child themes! For the slightly different footer functions in “Prose”, “Pretty Young Thing” and “Modern Blogger” child themes is already full support included, though!

Where do I find the Genesis Footer Shortcode reference?

All of the seven available shortcodes are listed and explained here: Genesis Footer Shortcodes

How can I reposition the Disclaimer widget after the footer, just at the very bottom of the page?

This is possible and the plugin already comes with a handy helper function for that. Just use the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file or in your functionality plugin:

/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Reposition Disclaimer Widget to the Very Bottom */\nadd_action( 'genesis_before', '__gwfoot_footer_disclaimer_bottom' );\n

–> Explanation: This helper function just fires through the ‘genesis_before’ hook to catch the right priorities for loading stuff but places the whole widget area in the ‘genesis_after’ hook! Note: This function is fully compatible with the “Prose” child theme, as it does various checks.

How does the styling work?

Same as before using this plugin. The plugin does NOT touch any theme styles. Still it can be neccessary to tweak some styles, for example if you’re using a search form in the footer you might change the button color or font size or whatever a bit.

For extended styling of the new widget areas there a few IDs and classes included. These are:

‘Footer Area #1’:\n
- ID wrapped around whole area: #gwfoot-footer-one-area
- area class full-width case: .gwfoot-footer-one-full-width
- area class one third case: .gwfoot-footer-one-one-third
- Widgets, before widget: .gwfoot-footer-one
\n
‘Footer Area #2’:\n
- ID wrapped around whole area: #gwfoot-footer-two-area
- area class full-width case: .gwfoot-footer-two-full-width
- area class two thirds case: .gwfoot-footer-two-two-thirds
- Widgets, before widget: .gwfoot-footer-two
\n
‘Footer Disclaimer’:\n
- ID wrapped around whole area: #gwfoot-footer-disclaimer-area
- area content class: .gwfoot-footer-disclaimer-content
- Widgets, before widget: .gwfoot-footer-disclaimer
\n

If that’s still not enough, you can even enqueue your own style, an action hook is included for that: gwfoot_load_styles — This hook fires within the WordPress action hook wp_enqueue_scripts just after properly enqueueing the plugin’s styles and only if at least one of the three widgets is active, so it’s fully conditional!

For Landing Page Templates, how can I re-add one or both Footer Widget Areas?

Since plugin version 1.2.0+ both areas are hidden for all known landing page templates of official plus market/community child themes. Re-adding them is possible via your child theme’s functions.php file or a functionality plugin. Just add this code:

/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Re-add Footer Widget Areas for Landing Pages */\ndefine( 'GWFOOT_REMOVE_LANDING_FOOTER', FALSE );\n

For Landing Page Templates, how can I remove the Dislaimer Area?

Since plugin version 1.2.0+ removing is possible via your child theme’s functions.php file or a functionality plugin. Just add this code:

/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Remove Disclaimer for Landing Pages */\ndefine( 'GWFOOT_LANDING_DISCLAIMER', FALSE );\n

Can I completely remove Disclaimer Widget Area?

Yes, this is possible since plugin version 1.3.0! Just add this code to your child theme’s functions.php file or a functionality plugin:

/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Remove Disclaimer Widget Area */\ndefine( 'GWFOOT_NO_DISCLAIMER_WIDGET_AREA', TRUE );\n

Could I disable the Shortcode support for widgets?

Of course, it’s possible! Just add the following constant to your child theme’s functions.php file or to a functionality plugin:

/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Remove Widgets Shortcode Support */\ndefine( 'GWFOOT_NO_WIDGETS_SHORTCODE', TRUE );\n

Some webmasters could need this for security reasons regarding their stuff members or for whatever other reasons… :).

What are parameters of the plugin’s own Shortcodes?

(1) Parameters for [gwfoot-widget-area] Shortcode:

area — ID of the Widget area (Sidebar) (default: none, empty)
The following values are accepted: footer-one OR footer-two OR footer-disclaimer

(2) Parameters for [gwfoot-lastupdated] Shortcode:

date_format — Date format (default: format you’ve set via “General Settings”)
wrapper — HTML wrapper tag (default: p (paragraph))
class — Additional custom CSS class for the wrapper (default: none, empty)
text_before — Text string, displayed before the date (default: Latest update date:)
text_after — Text string, displayed after the date (default: none, empty)

Could I completely remove the plugin’s Shortcode features?

Of course, that’s possible! Just add the following constant to your child theme’s functions.php file or to a functionality plugin:

/** Genesis Widgetized Footer: Remove Shortcode Features */\ndefine( 'GWFOOT_SHORTCODE_FEATURES', TRUE );\n

How can I customize the widget titles/strings in the admin?

I’ve just included some filters for that – if ever needed (i.e. for clients, branding purposes etc.), you can use these filters:

gwfoot_filter_footer_one_widget_title – default value: “Footer Area #1”

gwfoot_filter_footer_one_widget_description – default value: “This is the first widget area (%s) within the Genesis Footer.” (where the %s placeholder defaults to the gwfoot_filter_footer_two_widget_title)

gwfoot_filter_footer_two_widget_title – default value: “Footer Area #2”

gwfoot_filter_footer_two_widget_description – default value: “This is the second widget area (%s) within the Genesis Footer.” (where the %s placeholder defaults to the gwfoot_filter_footer_two_widget_title)

gwfoot_filter_footer_disclaimer_widget_title – default value: “Footer Disclaimer”

gwfoot_filter_footer_disclaimer_widget_description – default value: “This is the widget area of the search not found content section.”

Example code for changing one of these filters:

add_filter( 'gwfoot_filter_footer_one_widget_title', 'gwfoot_custom_footer_one_widget_title' );\n/**\n * Genesis Widgetized Footer: Custom Footer Area Widget Title\n */\nfunction gwfoot_custom_footer_one_widget_title() {\n    return __( 'Custom Footer Area', 'your-child-theme-textdomain' );\n}\n

Final note: I DON’T recommend to add customization code snippets to your child theme’s functions.php file! Please use a functionality plugin or an MU-plugin instead! This way you can also use this better for Multisite environments. In general you are not abusing the functions.php for plugin-specific stuff and you are then also more independent from child theme changes etc. If you don’t know how to create such a plugin yourself just use one of my recommended ‘Code Snippets’ plugins. Read & bookmark these Sites:

“What is a functionality plugin and how to create one?” – blog post by WPCandy

All the custom & branding stuff codes above can also be found as a Gist on GitHub: https://gist.github.com/2497456 (you can also add your questions/ feedback there 🙂

How can I use the advantages of this plugin for multilingual sites?

(1) In general: You may use it for “global” widgets.

(2) Usage with the “WPML” plugin:
\nWidgets can be translated with their “String Translation” component – this is much easier than adding complex footer credits logic for a lot of languages to your functions.php…

You can now also place the “Language Switcher Widget” at the bottom of your site :).

You can use the awesome “Widget Logic” plugin (or similar ones) and add additional paramaters, mostly conditional stuff like is_home() in conjunction with is_language( 'de' ) etc. This way widget usage on a per-language basis is possible. Or you place in the WPML language codes like ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == 'de' for German language. Fore more info on that see their blog post: http://wpml.org/2011/03/howto-display-different-widgets-per-language/

With the following language detection code you are now able to make conditional statements, in the same way other WordPress conditional functions work, like is_single(), is_home() etc.:

/**\n * WPML: Conditional Switching Languages\n *\n * @author David Decker - DECKERWEB\n * @link   http://twitter.com/deckerweb\n *\n * @global mixed $sitepress\n */\nfunction is_language( $current_lang ) {\n\n    global $sitepress;\n\n    if ( $current_lang == $sitepress->get_current_language() ) {\n        return true;\n    }\n}\n

Note: Be careful with the function name ‘is_language’ – this only works if there’s no other function in your install with that name! If it’s already taken (very rare case though), then just add a prefix like my_custom_is_language().

–> You now can use conditionals like that:

if ( is_language( 'de' ) ) {\n    // do something for German language...\n} elseif ( is_language( 'es' ) ) {\n    // do something for Spanish language...\n}\n

Optimized: Saves You Printing Ink & Paper 🙂
\n
This small and lightweight plugin adds a printer-ready stylesheet file (print.css / print-html5.css) for the Genesis Framework and its currently active child theme. Any unneeded site elements will be removed, such as main and sub navigation bar, sidebar, footer widgets, form input fields to name a few.
\n
For most use cases and most existing/ regular Genesis Child Themes this should work really fine!

Easy plugin translation platform with GlotPress tool: Translate “Genesis Printstyle Plus”…

Idea Behind / Philosophy

I just wanted to have a special print layout optimized for most Genesis Child Themes – with any unneeded elements removed but still with proper image display (including title tag text!) and proper footer line/copyright included. And I wanted that as a plugin so I could just activate it on client sites or if clients just request an easy-to-use solution. I intentionally used CSS Media Queries because they are made for this case – in combination with the output medium print.

Credits

Thanks to @juicedaniel for reporting a CSS3 bug!
Thanks to all users that helped with their feedback to improve this plugin, especially the print CSS! 🙂

Last but not least

Special Thanks go out to my family for allowing me to do such spare time projects (aka free plugins) and supporting me in every possible way!

\n","installation":"

NOTE: Only works with Genesis Framework (GPL-2.0+) as the parent theme. This is a paid premium product by StudioPress/ Copyblogger Media LLC, available via studiopress.com.

Installation Steps

Installing alternatives:\n
- via Admin Dashboard: Go to ‘Plugins > Add New’, search for “Genesis Printstyle Plus”, click “install”

Custom Styles: For fully custom styles or additions just have look at the FAQ section here. 🙂

Also note: The plugin has no extra settings page, as it has built-in logic for loading the print stylesheet from plugin (default) or for additions, also via child theme.

\n","faq":"\n

How can I get a more customized print stylesheet for my (customized) child theme?

That is really easy now, since plugin version 1.5+! There are two alternatives of doing that:

(1) Add a print stylesheet file print-additions.css to your active child theme’s root folder and you’re done. It will be automatically enqueued after the packaged plugin styles so you are able to override them.

(2) To not use the packaged plugin stylesheet at all just add your full own custom print stylesheet gpsp-print.css to your active child theme’s root folder and you’re done. This will be properly enqueued then and NOT the plugin file.

Both ways are really easy and update-secure. Enjoy!

How can I use another font for printing?

Same two alternatives as explained above. Edit the “font-family” setting for the body tag and you’re good to go.

Why are you using CSS Media Queries for the print stylesheet?

In short: We believe that this is the recommended way of doing such things.

…some more thoughts: In most cases this will work across different browsers and operating systems with most current printers. So I really see no reason here of not doing it that way. — Please note that I CANNOT test all browsers, OS, printers etc. that are out there. Still, you might report any issues you might have on your system configuration and together we will see what could be done/solved. Ok with that?

There Are a Few Issues with Some Child Themes, What Could I Do?

This seems to be true, regarding the HUGE number of Genesis Child Themes out there yet! However, I’ll do my best to support as much stuff out of the box as possible but cannot be specific for all child themes on the market… You just have to tweak some existing CSS rules or add a new one for printing. Please see the questions above how you could replace, add/tweak print CSS rules. Yes, it’s really easy so just try it :-).

Could I use this plugin also with another theme/ framework?

Good question but unfortunately this is not possible and not recommended. I’ve built in a theme check function so it’s only useable with the Genesis Framework and its child themes. The reason for that is simple because the print stylesheet references a lot of unique Genesis CSS IDs and classes so it will be nearly unuseable with other themes. However, you might have a look at the included print stylesheet and maybe got inspired for your own print stylesheet for your custom theme or even doing your own plugin with this…

UPDATE: Another round of print CSS tweaking. Hopefully for the better this time :-).

UPDATE: Updated German translations and also the .pot file for all translators!

1.8.0 (2013-09-01)

NEW: Plugin now supports Genesis 2.0+ HTML5 markup if activated by a child theme. Then, the “HTML5 version” of the print stylesheet gets loaded because of the different markup. (Reason for the divided stylesheet: no overbloat, better performance!)
UPDATE: Added .backstretch class to the print stylesheet to not display those background images on print. This comes in handy for child themes like “Metro” or “Sixteen Nine Pro” that use Backstretch by default.
UPDATE: Improved translation loading.
CODE: Minor code/documentation updates & improvements.
UPDATE: Updated and improved readme.txt file here.
UPDATE: Updated German translations and also the .pot file for all translators!

1.7.0 (2013-02-04)

NEW: Plugin now uses WordPress standard for minified and development stylesheet filenames. Therefore plugin default style is print.min.css and the development version of that is print.css. Also, if you are an Administrator and have WP_DEBUG on, the development version gets loaded. Cool, hehe 🙂

CODE: Minor code/documentation updates & improvements.
UPDATE: Updated and improved readme.txt file here.

Maintenance release

UPDATE: Corrected readme.txt file here.
UPDATE: Updated German translations and also the .pot file for all translators!
UPDATE: Initiated new three digits versioning, starting with this version.

1.5.0 (2012-05-06)

New features:\n
- NEW: Added own action hook for enqueueing own plugin or custom user stylesheets!
- NEW: If a print stylesheet file gpsp-print.css is found in your active child theme’s root folder, this will be your print stylesheet – if it’s not there, the packaged plugin print stylesheet is being used! This is really handy, if you need to enqueue your own stylesheet and nothing else (i.e. for Multisite purposes…). All update-secure and really easy to handle!
- NEW: Possible user style additions, additional to the plugin’s default stylesheet: if a print stylesheet file print-additions.css is found in your active child theme’s root folder it will be added after the plugin’s default. This way you can add some more rules or override existing selectors/rules. Again, all update-secure and really easy to handle!
- REMOVED: Removed the update nag message as it was annoying to some users and is no longer needed, because you can use your own stylesheet now, or enqueue additional user styles via our action hook! All in all the new way is more user-friendly, future-proof and using best practices. Enjoy!
\n
UPDATE: Simplified Genesis detection on installation, making it much more future-proof and user-friendly.
CODE: Beside new features, minor code/documentation tweaks and improvements.
CODE: Successfully tested against Genesis 1.8+ plus WordPress 3.3 branch and new 3.4 branch. Also successfully tested in WP_DEBUG mode (no notices or warnings).

The StudioPress Metro theme adds a span tag and class to widget titles using a filter in the theme’s functions.php file, and then styles that class with CSS. Unfortunately this method is not compatible with plugins that escape html in widget titles.

Metro Theme Widget Titles removes the default Metro widget title filter and replaces it with a filter that is compatible with plugins.

Added in version 0.2

If you’ve updated the original Metro theme to HTML5 this plugin will restore the look of the “Leave a Reply” title in the comment form. It may also undo any change you’ve made to that text. If it does, you can edit the text in the plugin’s filter, live with the change, or deactivate the plugin.

If you are using the Metro Pro theme, this plugin will restore the look of your widget titles, comments title, and “Leave a Reply” title to the old Metro theme look.

This plugin is intended for websites using the Genesis framework, and specifically the StudioPress Metro theme

\n","installation":"

Install this plugin like you would any normal WordPress plugin.

Install either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the entire metro-theme-widget-titles folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
That’s it!

\n","faq":"\n

Will this plugin work without the Genesis framework?

No, it won’t. This plugin references hooks that are specific to Genesis. If you install it without Genesis it probably won’t break your site – it just won’t do anything.

No settings page?

Nope. This plugin is really simple and does one thing. Well, maybe a couple things now…
