Setting a variable to global seems to permit calling that variable anywhere with exception of the footer.php file in which the variable is lost. This also applies to the ''is_front_page()'' function which does not work in the footer. (I have not tested other WP functions to know which ones do and do not work in footer) In the forums, one suggestion is that global variables need to be redeclared as global and they will work. However, I am unaware of any way to redeclare the WP functions so that they will also work in the footer. Variables and functions should be available in the footer as well." defect (bug) closed normal Themes 2.7 normal invalid reporter-feedback
