can you give me the function and file to put it in? I think that’s what I need.

Thank you for writing in! You could duplicate your /x/framework/views/{YOUR STACK}/wp-footer.php in to your child theme (eg. /x-child-{YOUR STACK}/framework/views/{YOUR STACK}/wp-footer.php).

Then find this line :

<?php echo get_theme_mod( 'x_footer_content' ); ?>

And change it into :

<?php echo do_shortcode(get_theme_mod( 'x_footer_content' )); ?>

Hope this helps

Yes, that would be nice. But as of now, you could only add copyright text manually in customizer’s footer content.

Though, since we already setup a shortcode for your footer, then you could add this code at your child theme’s functions.php.

add_shortcode('x-copyright-year', 'x_copyright_year');
function x_copyright_year($a) {
return date('Y');
}

Then, you could use [x-copyright-year] shortcode at your footer text to display the year.

Hope this helps.

WordPress doesn’t intend for shortcodes to be used within widgets. I’m afraid we don’t have a feature to enable it, as it’s not recommended. A customization for this is something that would fall outside the scope of our support. You could look into a plugin that enables this for you, or consult with a developer.

when I updated to x3 I noticed a slight change. So if anyone want this feature to work they now should be looking for this code…

<?php echo x_get_option( 'x_footer_content' ); ?>

instead of this code…

<?php echo get_theme_mod( 'x_footer_content' ); ?>

and it would be changed to this code…

<?php echo do_shortcode(x_get_option( 'x_footer_content' )); ?>

OK GooGoo?
