Look for this code in the functions.php file…

add_theme_page(“Footer”, “Footer”, ‘edit_themes’, basename(__FILE__), ‘art_admin’);

Change ‘Footer’ to whatever you want.

Thanks this is just what i was looking for! One question. How difficult would it be to change the footer link panel name so it would display some thing like ‘Theme Options’ instead of ‘Footer’.

Thanks in advance.

That looks OK. The real test is whether it works or not (which it should).

Great tips on WAMP/ZAMP.

Is this the way the code (functions.php) should look?:

‘menu.homeCaption’ => “Home”,
‘menu.showHome’ => true,
‘menu.topItemBegin’ => “”,
‘menu.topItemEnd’ => “”,
‘menu.source’ => “Pages”,
‘vmenu.showSubmenus’ => true,
‘vmenu.simple’ => false,
‘vmenu.source’ => “Categories”,
);
$themename = “financial activist news7?;
$shortname = “artisteer”;
$default_footer_content = “Contact Us | Terms of Use | Trademarks | Privacy StatementCopyright © 2010 “.get_bloginfo(’name’).”. All Rights Reserved.”;
$options = array (
array( “name” => “HTML”,
“desc” => sprintf(__(’XHTML: You can use these tags: %s‘, ‘kubrick’), ‘a, abbr, acronym, em, b, i, strike, strong, span’),
“id” => “art_footer_content”,
“std” => $default_footer_content,
“type” => “textarea”),

array( ”name” => “468×60 Header Banner Ad Settings”,
“type” => “heading”,
“desc” => “You can specify ads (google ad/affiliate ad/banner) on this section. The ad will be displayed as 468×60 Header Banner.”),

array( ”name” => “468×60 Banner Ad”,
“id” => $shortname.”_home_ad_468″,
“std” => “Enter 468×60 Ad Code Here”,
“type” => “textarea”),
);
function art_update_option($key, $value){
update_option($key, (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? stripslashes($value) : $value);
}

I just copied the code from above into a new Artisteer v2.4 theme and it worked just fine. Unless something didn’t go properly when you did the copy & paste of the code. It doesn’t take much to cause things not to go crazy. I’ve used this code many times and it does work.

Also you should never ever make mods on a live site because you never know what’s going to happen. Something as simple as missing a semi-colon can cause your site to crash.

Everyone that plays around with WordPress should be running a local WAMP or ZAMP server to do all the testing before going live.

Pew, I at least got my blog back, removing the lines I inserted through ftp. But still, what am I doing wrong? This is my first 32 lines in my functions.php:

true,
‘menu.homeCaption’ => “Home”,
‘menu.showHome’ => true,
‘menu.topItemBegin’ => “”,
‘menu.topItemEnd’ => “”,
‘menu.source’ => “Pages”,
‘vmenu.showSubmenus’ => true,
‘vmenu.simple’ => false,
‘vmenu.source’ => “Categories”,
);

$themename = “financial activist news7″;
$shortname = “artisteer”;
$default_footer_content = “Contact Us | Terms of Use | Trademarks | Privacy StatementCopyright © 2010 “.get_bloginfo(‘name’).”. All Rights Reserved.”;

$options = array (
array( “name” => “HTML”,
“desc” => sprintf(__(‘XHTML: You can use these tags: %s‘, ‘kubrick’), ‘a, abbr, acronym, em, b, i, strike, strong, span’),
“id” => “art_footer_content”,
“std” => $default_footer_content,
“type” => “textarea”),
);

function art_update_option($key, $value){
update_option($key, (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? stripslashes($value) : $value);
}
