• Hi – Need help please…I am trying to tweak the copywrite text in the footer area. How do I access the correct file to do that? I have looked in local-footer.php, local-style.css, and many others. Plus I have gone to file manager in cPanel and done search in search All files for the text which is currently there – 0 results.

    Thank you!

  • Try looking in your current theme’s footer.php template file.

    In file: footer-local.php this is what I see: (The word copyright is followed by &copy but I don’t see the rest of the text or where to change it.

    <p<?php if( $my_settings['footertext_color'] != '' ) : ?> style="color:<?php echo $my_settings['footertext_color']; ?>;"<?php endif; ?>>
      <?php echo 'Copyright ? ' . date('Y') ?> <?php if( $my_settings['business_name'] != '' ) : ?><?php echo $my_settings['business_name']; ?><?php else: ?>(Business Name)<?php endif; ?><?php if( $my_settings['business_address'] != '' ) : ?><?php echo $my_settings['business_address']; ?><?php else: ?>(Business Address)<?php endif; ?>
     </p>

    Here is website: https://www.rentadrill.com if you look at main webpage and click view source and scroll to bottom you should see Copyright @ Rent A Drill and I want to change that to rentadrill.com, LLC

    [No bumping, thank you.]

    Look at this bit in your footer-local.php file

    <?php echo 'Copyright ? ' . date('Y') ?>

    What do you want to change?

    Hi Andrew – I want to change what the text says. Footer should say:

    ?? 2012 RentADrill.com, LLC?

    I can see that bit you are pointing out…but that doesn’t help me know where/how to change the text.

    Herb

    It looks like it is pulling the name from a setting for “Business Name,” so look for something like that in your theme settings.

    If that does not work, contact the theme vendor for help with their commercial theme (paid themes are not generally supported here as we can’t know how they work).

    Try replacing what I pointed out with;

    <?php echo '&copy; ' . date('Y') . 'RentADrill.com, LLC' ; ?>

    Well – I am in the correct place. Changes are not correct tho. If u go to https://www.rentadrill.com and look at footer you will see what I mean.

    Text I entered is there but needs a space after 2012 and the old text was not overwritten.
