Footer customization

[solofriendly]

Is there a way for me to expand the margins of the different segments of the footer? I do not have enough space in the center section for the text I want to write without it spilling over the bottom border of the footer. Also, I'd like to put the "Suffusion WordPress theme by Sayontan Sinha" that shows up on the righthand side of the footer onto 2 lines instead of 1. Is that possible?

Thanks!

PS I love how customizable this theme is!

Try putting this in "Custom Styles" under "Custom CSS, JavaScript & RSS":

Code: Select all

#cred td.cred-left {
        width: 29%;
}
#cred td.cred-center {
        width: 40%;
}
#cred td.cred-right {
        width: 29%;
}


Vary the percentages as appropriate.

Thank you very much! I'll give that a try.

I have a slightly different question: is it possible to put php code in the footer? I would like to automate the year date on the copyright notice so I have (C) 2009-[current year].

Jimmy, it would have been better if you posted this as a separate posting

well, you can not enter PHP-code into the footer using the theme options
that would demand edititing of the theme-file directly

Aren't there any WP-Plugins which you could place into the widget area above the footer or maybe a plugin which interpretes Shortcode, that might be possible to enter in the theme options

There ist a PHP-Shortcode Plugin, check it out:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-shortcode/

Update:
this plugin is working fine in posts and pages, but not in the footer-area (there only plain text is possible), I also could not get it to work in a text-widget.

The http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-text-widget/ worked, so I could place the php-code in the widget above the footer at least ....

There is a short code for printing the year. You can use [suffusion-the-year], but it doesn't work in the footer. I have included it in the next version 3.2.4.
