First I thought it is a Wordpress problem.. Now I'm not so sure anymore. Can't find a way to "delet / replace it with mine" It alway is displayed below.
Any hints what to look for would be great. Kinda stuck again...
In the Wordpress Theme design it says Footer: Location: Disabled and in Copyright Start Date / Copyright Attribution is no text at all.
If I Edit Themes in wordpress and remove everything from the Footer php it works, but the second I edit anything else it's back...
It is ONLY a problem on the blog. On the rest it's not there.

I literally have no idea what you are talking about. Just what is the problem you're having?

To update your Wordpress footer:
login to your Wordpress dashboard; go to Appearance > Editor; select the footer.php file; replace the text between <div id="site-generator"> tags; update the file.

Please don't edit the files in this manner. Backlight is managing the theme, and you really shouldn't mess with it directly. If you want to implement customizations, use a child theme.

I see you created a custom footer. But on Wordpress pages, there is your custom footer and the default footer.
Don't know if this is a setup problem or a Wp Template issue. I would assume you used ttg_footer_top to create your custom footer.

Yes, you could use PHPlugins rather than creating a child theme; that's another option. But using Wordpress' built-in editor to change the theme is frowned upon.

Matt, somehow he has two footers on the wordpress pages, but only one in the regular pages:
<footer class="spinal__column">
<div class="content">
<!-- Footer ***************************************** -->
<div class="copyright">
<div class="content clearfix">

</footer>I expect that he used phplugins to create his custom footer. But why is the Backlight default footer present in the blog and not on the regular pages?

I might be going cross-eyed, but I'm not seeing any problem in Backlight's code in how footer's are handled, either in standard page or theme templates.
Based on conversation above, the details of which I admittedly am finding muddy, I would guess that he's added his custom footer content via Wordpress' Editor (WPAdmin => Appearance => Editor), rather than using either of our approved methods (PHPlugins or child theme).
Frankly, I wish Wordpress' Editor didn't exist. It's a dangerous tool and only creates opportunities for problems. It should not be used in any circumstance; it's doubly troublesome in the case of Backlight, where the theme is already being managed by an external application.
Christopher,
Whatever changes you've made in the editor, please undo them. This may be as simple as just exporting an updated version of your theme from Backlight. Once we're back to our intended base, we can try to guide you to implement your footer in the correct fashion.
