Steve — That’s correct. The select box posts a cookie and then I have a function that detects the cookie and applies the relevant stylesheet and custom_functions.php file.

Scott — On line 73 of custom_functions.php you can change add_action('thesis_hook_footer','custom_footer',1); to //add_action('thesis_hook_footer','custom_footer',1);. What that does is comment out the add_action line that adds the widgetised footer to the site, so that area won’t be there anymore. The widgetised area is still registered and will still be seen on the Widget admin page, but won’t be called in the theme. If you want to delete it all together you can delete

register_sidebar(
    array(
        'name' => 'Footer',
        'before_widget' => '<li class="widget %2$s" id="%1$s">',
        'after_widget' => '</li>',
        'before_title' => '<h3>',
        'after_title' => '</h3>'
    )
);

at the very end of the file and

// === FOOTER === //
// widgetise footer
function custom_footer() {
?>
<div id="footer_widgets" class="sidebar">
	<ul class="sidebar_list">
		<?php thesis_default_widget(4); ?>
	</ul>
</div>
<?php
}
add_action('thesis_hook_footer','custom_footer',1);

from lines 62 to 73.

Barry — Have a look at the DIYthemes Answers blog’s answer to that. Ta.

Jay — There’s two ways of doing these things: using CSS alone and using the images as background images or using custom_functions.php to add the images as HTML on the page. Given that you want to add two images and you currently don’t have any text in the header it’s simplest to use custom_functions.php. Paste the following in that file:

function custom_header() {
	echo '<img class="alignright" src="' . THESIS_CUSTOM_FOLDER . '/images/profile.jpg" alt="" />';
	echo '<p id="logo"><img src="' . THESIS_CUSTOM_FOLDER . '/images/header.jpg" alt="jkameroncarter.com" /></p>';
}
add_action('thesis_hook_header','custom_header');

To see what all that code means I would really recommend checking out the Thesis tutorials on Tech for Luddites. They’re very recent and the posts about hooks and functions go through that stuff step by step. Of course, if you have follow-up questions feel free to ask.
The code assumes that the images are in the custom/images folder of the Thesis theme and they’re called “header.jpg” and “profile.jpg” and that they’re the correct size. Rename the files or in the code as needed. The class of “alignright” on the profile image should mean that goes straight to the right, but if not some extra CSS will be needed.

Jay — Try copying the code from my comment again (not from the email notification, if that’s where you copied it from). The characters are still encoded, which I have to do to be able to paste the code in a comment. So every place there should be a less than sign there is a character entity made up of “&”, “l”, “t” and “;”, similar for the greater than signs.

Lawvol — The footer should work in any layout, I believe I have the CSS using relative widths in the footer so that it scales for any layout arrangement. To change the width of Thesis you use the Design Options and change the column widths. You might need to experiment a bit to figure out exactly what makes up 1000px wide because the column width refers to the usable area in that column and doesn’t include the padding. In this skin the footer is “full-width” in the sense that it looks like it fills up the width of the browser, but if you take a look at my video on the full-width framework you will hopefull be able to see that you can easily make it appear only 1000px wide by removing the background from #footer_area and using a background on #footer_area .page instead.

Rob — It can be done via FTP or cpanel. Whatever way you find easiest to transfer files to your server, use that to move the custom.css, custom_functions.php and images folder into Thesis’ custom folder. Not sure what else I can say about it that would help.
