Flatbox: how to edit the footer section

Question

I want to show some static page like about us, FAQ etc on the footer section instead of the twiiter feed or facebook feed. Where do I do that? Also where do I change to link to my facebook page?

Answer 1

To use your facebook page. Go to Admin > Plugins > FlatBox Theme settings and set your Facebbok, Twitter etc. full URL and save it.

If you use Q2A core system to create pages than you can set navigation item in footer by selecting option After links in footer in Position dropdown list.

To change footer column content, it is difficult and you have to modify the footer_columns() method in qa-flatbox-theme.php file. Find it around line #596

Code

$column_items = array(
    $this->footer_advert(),
    $this->fb_like_box(), // just replace your own code or method
    $this->twitter_widget(),
    $this->social_icons(),
);

Here each method in array represents one column in footer (start from left to right). So to change facebook like box with your own code, you need to replace $this->fb_like_box() method with your own.

Hi Thanks for your reply. I have been able to add the Facebook and twitter icon in the footer area; it';s showing under third column "Get in Touch with us" However how do I change the link in the first two column of the footer area?

Secondly, I couldn't find the coding you referred in qa-theme.php. Appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance.

The code you will find in the theme-folder/inc/ and the file name is qam-flatbox-theme.php

If you want to change the order of the columns than just swap it as per your choice. All done.
