Change footer Credit

I suspect it’s the way you’ve structured the files. They have to mirror the core theme, so assuming the changes you made are OK then the files should be structured as follows:

customizr
– inc
– lang
– parts
functions.php
style.css

customizr-child
– parts
–class-footer-footer main.php
functions.php
style.css

Did you see Snippet and Snippet?

Hi rdellconsulting, thank you for your support.
I have read all the snippet and supports provided before requesting assistance.

I Do not understand the above. should I copy parts,class-footer-footer main.php,functions.php,style.css in my child theme.
What I have currently is in child theme is class-footer-footer main.php,
functions.php, style.css, but not parts.

which part of the class-footer-footer main.php should i copy and insert im child theme , the whole file or part of it( which one)

parts is a folder sitting under the customizr-child folder. The class-footer-footer main.php file sits in that folder. The functions.php & style.css sit in the folder customizr-child.

You should copy the whole of footer-footer main.php. The only file that you do not do that to is functions.php. The code in the child theme is additional to the core file which you should not edit as it could change with every Theme update.

hi , I have created a folder parts in the above structure, but i can’t see the file class-footer-footer main.php in to edit( i can see it in the ftp server but not in my wordpress back end to edit).

Hi rdellconsulting, thank you for your support.
It worked now in function.php problem is solved using function.php but not class-footer-footer-main.php( i do not understand why, as i mentionded above i can’t see class-footer-footer-main.php in my child theme.

i just copy full function.php and insert the following in child theme:

add_filter(‘tc_credits_display’, ‘my_custom_credits’);
function my_custom_credits(){
$credits = ”;
$newline_credits = ”;
return ‘
<div class=”span4 credits”>
<p> · © ‘.esc_attr( date( ‘Y’ ) ).’ ‘.esc_attr(get_bloginfo()).’ · ‘.($credits ? $credits : ‘Designed by Themes & Co‘).’ ·’.($newline_credits ? ‘
· ‘.$newline_credits.’ ·’ : ”).'</p> </div>’;
}

Depending on how you make your changes, you’ll need to FTP the file from customizr/parts, edit it and FTP back into customizr-child/parts

Hi there – as like some other users here I am relatively new to WP. Although I have managed to get around rather well and I really like this Customizr WP theme a lot.

I have created a child theme and everything is great there.

I have to say I have followed the steps to change this “credit” on the footer…. I cannot locate the area to make this change. I would like to remove the white footer text that reads: Designed by Themes Co.

The site I am working on is https://campbellexpress.com/wordpress
(This will be migrated to the root directory once I finish some more tweaks.)
One of them mainly being this footer issue. Why is just changing this footer text a HUGE big deal with this theme. Everything else on this theme is simple and to the point. I am so perplexed. Please help.

Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all!

This is a very old post. Since then, a snippet has been published to show you how to do this: https://www.themesandco.com/snippet/altering-adding-footer-credits/

If you’ve never used a functions.php in a child theme, read How to Customize Customizr.

Wow, I was looking at an old thread… thanks for this info. I am new to snippets. Do I get the file from ther appearance/editor… or do I log into the FTP and download a file???

So… if I am understanding correctly is line 3 supposed to look like this between the ”:

$credits = ‘Site Development by Sue Smith Design ‘;

And the line 4 is an extra line if I choose to note other info.

Please let me know, thanks.

I have been to the Themes & Co website, read all of the tutorials, did every step that is noted, and cannot get this to work for me. I use a lot of other themes and this one is the hardest to modify a simple footer section. Wny is this???

So frustrated ??

I agree, it’s not easy.

Reading this guide on How to customize Customizr may help.

Thanks – I have read this and have executed the procedures…. NONE of them is working for me. Can someone please help????

OK, paring this down to an absolute minimum, cutting out the variables, which might confuse, see if you can get this to work:

add_filter('tc_credits_display', 'my_custom_credits');
function my_custom_credits(){
return '<div class="span4 credits"><p>ADD YOUR TEXT HERE</p></div>';
}

Thank you…. OK so I put this in the link:
Through the wp-admin

https://www.campbellexpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php

I added this text with my modifications in the “Custom CSS” dropdown section.
Not working. WHAT am I missing… :o(

Not working. WHAT am I missing… :o(

A lot ??

This is not CSS. It’s php code that you add to a functions.php file in a child theme.

You need to read the link I gave above on How to Customize Customizr. Only do it if you have FTP access to your site, so you can put things right again if you don’t get the syntax right.
