    How do you remove the grey bar and the white bar just above the footer

    It’s below the 3 footer widget areas

    I can edit a child footer which is a copy of the graphene footer

    No need to edit any files. Just use CSS:

    #footer {
    padding: 10px;
    background: none #111;
    }

    You can change the hex code for the color to whichever you would like.

    I get confused about this 🙂

    On the one hand the recommendation is to create a child theme.

    On the other graphene has the option to take CSS directly.

    Some things can be done in CSS others in the php file.

    ok!

    I’m trying to minimise the number of spare lines in the footer

    I can see 4 lines one that says Copyright

    anether with (c) 21013 etc

    another with wordpress graphene the developer line

    Is it possible to put all these on one line? preferably the last line

    Just to add that worked Kenneth 🙂

    I’ll mark this as resolved and ask about the other thing separately

    Yes, you can add that CSS to your child theme’s stylesheet.

    CSS and PHP serve two different functions, so you’ll need to use the approach that works. In general, although you can add additional php files to your child theme, you want to minimize doing so, because the child theme php files will be loaded instead of the parent theme php files. If there are changes in those files in an update, your site won’t have use of them.

    These two lines we just removed. I think I want to replace them with an image.

    i.e. a 960 wide image above the footer area. can I do that with css in my style sheet?

    You can, but it would probably be better to do that with a Graphene action hook widget area.

    ok I ticked before footer action hook and put a text box in the widget

    assuming the file picture.png is in the theme folder do I just type picture.png in the text box

    no I had to use <img src="picture.png">

    there is a 1 pixel high white line between that and the footer

    How do I remove?

    digging deeper

    its not a white line its a single grey line thats above the white and grey bars weve just removed.

    Its shown under graphen options >colours> footer preview

    Just above that grey line the page background shows through

    between the ‘before footer’ action hook and the footer

    #footer {border-top: none;}

    Try installing Firebug to nail down little things like this. It’s easy to use and a great learning tool!
