Am having HTML coding appear on the bottom right hand corner of my store page instead of social media buttons.

Have tried to find a solution to this here previously but have never been able to find the name of the file that needs changed.
Can someone please explain in simple steps how to correct this.
Very many thanks in advance.
Those are 'flexible footer' configuration settings that have been run through the admin sanitizer, changing all < to < and > to >.
You'll need to use your site's phpMyAdmin to change those back, i.e. changing all < instances back to < and > instances to >.
Thank you for the ultra fast reply.
I have come across this problem many times before in other files and correctly easily but in this case I cannot find the actual file I need to open and correct. I have used Developer Tools to try and search for some of those HTML lines but it does not through up them listed in any files. If I knew the file or files I have to edit have no problem fixing them.
Look in your site's /includes/modules/westminster_new/flexible_footer_menu.php. On/around line 31, you'll seeQuote:

Fantastic. THANK YOU. I made the change and it got rid of the HMTM code OK but rather than have blue boxes with social media icons there are now just plain blue boxes which are clickable as they should be.
What I am after is shown with our other store www.irishshopper.com.
You'll need to changeto add " changing to "Code:$page_query_list_footer[$rows]['text'] = str_replace(array('<', '>'), array('<', '>'), $page_query->fields['col_html_text']);
NOTE that the ,'"' is a comma, a single quote, a double quote, and a single quote.Code:$page_query_list_footer[$rows]['text'] = str_replace(array('<', '>', '"'), array('<', '>', '"'), $page_query->fields['col_html_text']);
There are possibly either some negative effects or uncorrected items by the change that was made in the files. As lat9 indicated and to again state, the "real" issue is the data that has been stored in the database which is then to be displayed by the above code.Quote:

IIRC, this is still a bug in Flexible Footer.
A bug, I suppose, in the sense that the Flexible Footer Menu doesn't provide an admin-sanitizer override so that those 'htmlspecialchars' don't continually get converted to their HTML entities.Quote:

One last problem is the links on all these are the default links but I just cannot find the file to change them.
They are working properly from the small Social Media links at the top of each page OK.
I'm pretty sure, but not absolutely sure, that those are settings in the template's configuration menus.Quote:

I've accessed the flexible footer before and modified the links, but seems that if the OP had been searching through the files for other associated information and hasn't found this particular information through that same file search (Developers tool kit) that the "other" place this information is in would be the database.Quote:

Use of the instructions, posts within the associated forum thread, further comparison of html page output to information found in the above locations are all things that can be used to accomplish something similar.
Editable via the admin's Tools->Flexible Footer Menu. Just find the column-heading associated with the text you wish to edit.
Very many thanks indeed for everyones patience & help. Now all sorted and working correctly. Thank you. Trevor
