footer

[drikkes]

Hi Danny,
I have your theme installed, and I like it. I have one question regarding the code here on GitHub (which seems the same as in the installed theme):
Why is there a footer only on the archive page, when the footer file itself is empty? And what would I have to do to get this footer on all pages & posts?

Thanks,
Hendrik

Hi @drikkes,

When submitting a theme to WordPress.org there is a requirement to have a footer.php file (even if it isn't used).

The conditional statement to only show the footer on the archives is here:

https://github.com/DannyCooper/arke/blob/master/index.php#L41-L45

Removing line 41, 45 and 47 would make the footer show on all pages.

Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Thanks

Thanks for your answer, Danny.
I'm too stupid to delete lines of code, it seems.
When I erase that three lines from the index.php via the Theme Editor, instead of the footer I get non-working (because of a different permalink structure) "View All Posts" link at every end. Deleting line 46 as well does not do the trick.

And when you mentioned it: Is there a way to disable comments on pages, too, like it's possible on posts? My site does not need any comment option at all. Not only "comments are close" – simply "no comments".

Thanks,
Hendrik
