I found a solution in this tutorial by Bill Erickson:
Add this to the top of your child theme’s functions.php file:
add_action('genesis_setup','child_theme_setup', 15);
function child_theme_setup() {}
(As explained in the tutorial: “This setup function attaches all of the site-wide functions to the correct actions and filters. All the functions themselves are defined below this setup function.”)
Then within the setup function, add this to remove the default footer:
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );and this to add your custom footer:
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'hc_footer' );(Note, I’ve prefixed my footer function with “hc_”, but you’ll want to use whatever makes sense for your own custom footer).
Next, add your custom footer function below the setup function, like this:
function hc_footer() {
// your custom footer stuff
}So your functions.php file would now look something like this:
// Child Theme Setup
add_action('genesis_setup','child_theme_setup', 15);
function child_theme_setup() {
remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'hc_footer' );
}// Custom Footer
function hc_footer() {
// Footer stuff goes here
}
The tutorial is worth checking out for a more detailed explanation on this solution (and other ways create customize Genesis) – artofblog.com/building-a-genesis-child-theme/. It really helped me wrap my head around Genesis a little better.
