I am running mybb 1.6.9
Site is located at
www.morethantrivia.com/mybb
I created a privacy policy using page manager. I am trying to add this to the footer. I have added the following line to the footer template but I can't get it to show up: | <a href="http://www.morethantrivia.com/mybb/misc.php?page=privacy">Privacy Policy</a>
What am I doing wrong?
Can you post your whole footer template?
Go to the footer template and find the mybb powered by code and post your html code just below that
E.g.
{$copy_year}
<a href="http://www.morethantrivia.com/mybb/misc.php?page=privacy">Privacy Policy</a>
{myadvertisements[zone_2]} <br />
<div class="bottommenu">
<div class="float_right">{$lang_select}</div>
<div>
<span class="smalltext"><a href="{$mybb->settings['contactlink']}">{$lang->bottomlinks_contactus}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['homeurl']}">{$mybb->settings['homename']}</a> | <a href="#top">{$lang->bottomlinks_returntop}</a> | <a href="#content">{$lang->bottomlinks_returncontent}</a> | <a href="<archive_url>">{$lang->bottomlinks_litemode}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=syndication">{$lang->bottomlinks_syndication}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=karmastars">{$lang->karmastars}</a> | <a href="http://www.morethantrivia.com/mybb/misc.php?page=privacy">Privacy Policy</a></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<hr class="hidden" />
<div id="copyright">
I tried the suggestion about placing the code under the powered by mybb and it still didn't show up.

Oh you want it on the bottommenu. Well, that above code should work usually. Weird.
Try this:
{myadvertisements[zone_2]} <br />
<div class="bottommenu">
<div class="float_right">{$lang_select}</div>
<div>
<span class="smalltext"><a href="{$mybb->settings['contactlink']}">{$lang->bottomlinks_contactus}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['homeurl']}">{$mybb->settings['homename']}</a> | <a href="#top">{$lang->bottomlinks_returntop}</a> | <a href="#content">{$lang->bottomlinks_returncontent}</a> | <a href="<archive_url>">{$lang->bottomlinks_litemode}</a> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=syndication">{$lang->bottomlinks_syndication}</a></span> | <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=karmastars">{$lang->karmastars}</a> | <a href="http://www.morethantrivia.com/mybb/misc.php?page=privacy">Privacy Policy</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<hr class="hidden" />
<div id="copyright">
Its a small difference but it could work.
Nope. No luck with that change either. It has to be something silly and I have looked at it so many times, it could probably bite me and I still wouldn't see it.
You have to remove this "Help support this site" it scares users away!
I have no idea then. Might be more tricky as it seem to. You may look for the mybb staff or a expert.

this should work fine actually. the code is right. is it added to the footer now. because i dont even see it in the source code.
i hope you added it to the current theme you are using
Yes, I put it in the global footer and I checked the theme that I am using and the code is there. Just not showing up on the page.
Is it possible that the server is caching this page? I just went in and removed the Karma Stars line trying to see if it was a length issue. I have checked all the footers and that line is gone, but when I look at the page, the Karma Stars is still there and the Privacy Statement still doesn't show up.
I just went into cache manager and rebuilt all the caches and now everything is showing up correctly.
