Context Text and Bio

I've been trying to find where to remove the bio (see image, red). I see 'content text' in the Footer section to remove the content text (image, blue). I searched the documentation for "bio" and looked in the Footer section, but it did not have any information on where I could remove the bio text.

  • Had to take a long time to find the right option, and had to go through every setting in WP/customization to find it.

    The short bio are hidden in the customization menu under "Footer widget area(Header horizontal)", and "Text: About Us". Which is confusing because the "context text" under that section is actually edited under "Footer" in the customization menu.

    When I go back to find documentation, listed under "Footer widget area(Header horizontal)". It would be more intuitive since someone wants to change their Short Bio, they will search documentation for “Short Bio”.

    Some might think this is tied to the bio that (screen) for the main user, but if they try this they will see it as empty.

    Hey there Evan!

    I understand your reasoning, however these are general purpose widgets. I never know how Daniel will use them to create new design, so just can't name it as such.

    But this is what we are here for - to help with things that are not clear from documentation or simple use.

    If you would let me answer it after weekend, I would save you lot of time ;-)

    However once we will switch to refreshed customizer such thing will be much easier to find with "Anchors" in customizer. You will see soon in 1.7 ;-)

    With kind regards.
  • Great! This wasn't really a functional problem, it was just a bit time consuming to try and figure out where the options/documentation for this widget implementation was.

    Will try it out in 1.7!

    I agree totally. Theme got too many options, and not all of them can be found intuitively.

    This change for 1.7 will take some time, probably whole February, cause it is a big one.
    I was waiting for this long time, to finally resolve issues with Redux Framework plugin. I am excited about bringing better Cutomizer to theme :-)

    With kind regards.
