On the CUNY Academic Commons multisite network, the same header/footer can be found on the main site as well as any of the satellite blogs/sites.  How did they achieve this global header/footer?

Hi @jinxius Jeanette –

The CUNY Academic Commons was developed much before CBOX, and has a lot of customized code, and is not using the CBOX theme.  So there is not a setting in CBOX that you are overlooking.  I think you would probably need to create a child theme and make some template changes to achieve consistent footers on your blog sites.

In terms of the common header – I think that is just a BP admin bar, and shouldn’t be hard to mimic.

If you need more technical assistance about how, exactly, a consistent footer might be rendered for a multisite installation of a CBOX child theme – I can ask the dev team to point you in some directions.

Thanks, Scott.  I think I figured out how to do it:)

@jinxius,

Jeanette, can you share this?

Sure!  We actually subscribe to WPMU dev, so I am using their premium plugin “Global Footer” https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/global-footer-content/

However, I did find instructions on how to create your own PHP file to achieve the same thing.  I haven’t tested it personally, but maybe it will work for you if you don’t use WPMUdev: http://www.capelinks.com/blog/add-global-footer-to-all-wordpress-multisite-network-themes/
