Hey guys, Bryan here with WP Cupid and today I'm going to show you how to edit the footer
copyright text in all WordPress themes.
Whether you have a premium theme or a free theme it's all going to be the same.
It's all going to be in the same place.
We are actually going to be able to do this right in the WordPress dashboard.
I'm also going to provide all the text below in the description.
So feel free to go down there, copy that over to a word document or notepad that way you
have notes.
So let's go ahead and go to the WordPress dashboard.
Let's go to appearance.
Let's go to editor.
And here we are going to see the style.css and scroll over and over on the side your
going to see what we are looking for is theme footer.
And right underneath it we are going to see footer.php.
Let's go ahead and click on that.
What I want you to do is go ahead and copy all this text here and paste it over to a
notepad that way if something happens or you delete something or something gets messed
up.
All you have to do is paste that in here and hit update file.
Another thing is premium themes sometimes have a lot more code.
This is just the twenty-fifteen theme so it's pretty simple as far as code goes.
But the footer copyright is always going to be towards the bottom of the code.
So just keep that in mind.
What I want to go ahead and do now is this is a good little tip is let's go back to the
site and let's look at the footer copyright text and see what it says.
We are going to see proudly powered by WordPress.
Let's go back to appearance.
Then editor.
We are going to go back to theme footer.
And so that's a good way to find it if your having a little bit of trouble in the code.
Look for that and it said proudly powered by WordPress.
So we can see right there the proudly powered by WordPress.
So we know that's where we need to make the changes.
We are also going to see the link there.
So it's linking to wordpress.org.
We can change that to whatever we'd like and I'm going to show you how to do that as well.
It's very easy.
And again if you mess something up you can paste in what I had you copy and hit update
file and you can start over from scratch.
So let's go ahead and change this powered by.
We are going to go to created by is what I'm going to put.
I'm just going to put WP Cupid there.
Where it says WordPress.
I'm going to go ahead and change that to WP Cupid.
And now we want to change the link.
So for this tutorial I'm going to go ahead and just do wordpress.com.
And we see the twenty-fifteen.
You can just change that to your business name.
I'll change it to WP Cupid.
Let's scroll down and update the file.
Let's go ahead and visit the site.
We are going to scroll all the way down to the footer copyright text area.
You will see created by WP Cupid.
And if we click on it, it's going to go to wordpress.com because we changed that link.
