To quote the manual:<br>
Includes the footer.php template file from your current theme&#39;s<br>
directory. if a name is specified then a specialised footer<br>
footer-{name}.php will be included.<br>
<br>
wp_footer() should be used.<br>

We could add it as a deprecated though Otto?<br>

&gt; Thanks, I couldn&#39;t remember any exact difference but I agree it is the more<br>
&gt; correct method to use the wp_footer() call.<br>

&gt;&gt; &gt; Just came across this on ticket:<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; <a href="http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2382" target="_blank">http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2382</a><br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; &quot;REQUIRED: Could not find wp_footer. See: wp_footer<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; The author used: &lt;?php do_action(&#39;wp_footer&#39;); ?&gt; in place of the<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; wp_footer() call ...<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Well, he shouldn&#39;t do that. Tell him to change it to the wp_footer() call.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Yes, I know that pretty much does the same thing. The difference is<br>
&gt;&gt; one of forward compatibility. wp_footer() might do something slightly<br>
&gt;&gt; different in the future. Probably not, but who knows?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Never do it yourself when there exists a function to do it for you.<br>
