I would like to install a simple “Tell A Friend: button into the footer. I installed the wp tell a friend popup form which supposed to have a button on the page. How can I position this button right above the copyright notice at the bottom left hand former of the fitter page. I would like if the button appear in all the pages.

@Grafixer If it’s a widget type plugin (a plugin which will introduce new widget of its own in Appearance->Widget) then after you install this plugin. Go to Appearance->Widgets. Then add the new widget (coming from the plugin) to the footer sidebar and it should be fine. The footer widget will appear in every page. I found this one http://wordpress.org/plugins/free-tell-a-friend/, you could try it or you can search for others as well that will suit your need.

It did not work for me. After adding the plug-in TELL A FRIEND nothing appears. I am trying not to use any side bars nay the footer. What else can I try?

[Sanjip Shah]

@Grafixer I installed this plugin and activated it. After you install and activate you can go to Appearance->Widgets. There if you see you will see the ‘Free Tell A Friend’ and use this in footer sidebar. Please check on it once again.

I do not know why, but I can not “stick” anything widget into the voter. Do I have to activate the fitter section first somewhere? I would like to install a a TELL A FRIEND button right above the copyright note. Please explain to me how to do that?

Is there a way to make the footer’s height less? On the left hand side I would like to put in a TELL A FRIEND button, and under it I would like to have the copy right information. On the right bottom corner I would like to list a few social media logos or links. Can you help me how to change the footer to accommodate all these?

Hi Grafixer,

As per our theme support, the copyright information and social icons are already supported by default. But for tell a friend button you have to create child theme and edit the footer code. We don’t provide code customization as it doesn’t fall under our support. But we can provide you css for making the footer height less.

#colophon hr {
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}
#site-generator {
    padding-bottom: 20px;
}

You can reduce the px value it if you like

[Grafixer]

Thank you for that code. How do I take off some height from the top of the footer?

[Grafixer]

Can you please help me out. I still have issues relating to this thread. Now that I was able to take out the padding from the bottom, I have too much space at the top of the footer. Can you please guide me, where do I adjust that? This is the link for my website. It is only the HOME page I am concern with at the moment, because once the footer is set, I would like to copy the rest for all the other pages. Can you please get back to as soon as you can?

@Grafixer In the custom css option, try adding the following css.

#colophon { padding-top: 0; }
#colophon hr { display: none; }

[Grafixer]

Thank you this worked.
I have one more question regarding footing: Is there a way to insert at the bottom some SHAREAHOLIC’s social media buttons on the right hand side bottom corner? I would like to align them up with the Copyright notice on the opposite left hand bottom corner. Is it the theme design which he’s to be modified of the social media plugins has to be coded?

[Sanjip Shah]

@Grafixer Try the following css and see if this helps.

#site-generator {
    float: left;
    width: 45%;
    margin-top: 45px;
}
#colophon .widget-area {
    float: right;
}

[Grafixer]

It worked! Thank you so much.

[Sanjip Shah]

@Grafixer Okay. Great!
