Replacing copyright footer text.

  • [ Moved to the Fixing WordPress sub-forum. ]

    I’m trying to replace the “powered by wordpress”text on my site with my business name.
    I’m using the twenty seventeen theme.
    Most of the advice I get from reading is talking about ‘adding a child theme’, or ‘installing some plugin’ etc.
    Thing is…I don’t wanna fiddle with a lot of things that may end up affecting my site’s performance.
    I know where to locate the theme options from my dashboard. What I don’t know is what code to use.

    Can anyone help, please?

  • It’s not in theme options. If you do edit the Parent theme files, the next time the theme is updated, that edit will be lost.

    The advise given is correct, except I would never rely on a plugin to do a basic task. I would use a Child Theme and hook into admin_footer_text.

    
function remove_footer_admin () {
echo 'Your custom footer HTML here';
}
add_filter('admin_footer_text', 'remove_footer_admin');
