How to change footer text

Hey there kalina21,

Hope you’re well today!

This is definitely possible but you’ll have to make changes in your theme footer.php. Ideally you’d want to create child theme, make a copy of footer.php and make the changes there so you can avoid losing changes once you update the theme.

Once you got that, replace the code in that file with this one https://pastebin.com/vdJwKNSf. You’ll also have to replace dummy text on line 22 with your own text.

Hope this helps ??

Cheers,
Bojan

Hi Bojan, so how do I make a copy of the footer though? I’m already using child theme.
thanks

Hey again kalina21,

That file should be located in the root folder of your parent theme so simply copy the file and paste it in the root folder of your child theme.

Hope this helps ??

Okay, one more try. I barely know my way around wordpress, so I really don’t understand what you’re saying…sorry. Where exactly do I find the “footer.php”? What is that and where is it located?
thanks

@kalina21 download theme on your PC and extract all files. You can use 7zip or any other software to extract all files from zipped archive.

There will be many theme files, such as index.php, search.php, single.php, footer.php and many others.

Open footer.php in any text editor, make changes you want. After making changes upload this theme again. You will have to upload your theme as zipped archive.
