How to Edit the Footer Credits

This tutorial will teach you how to edit the footer credits that are displayed at the very bottom of the page.

Step 1: Be sure you know how to access your site files via FTP or your hosting account’s cPanel. In this tutorial, you’ll be editing core PHP files for the theme, and one small mistake can result in the white screen of death.

Step 2: In WordPress, go to Appearance >> Editor and click on functions.php. Make a back-up copy before you edit anything.

Step 3: Find the line //* Customize the credits to be brought to the area we’ll be editing.

* If you want to add in your site name after the date, add it to the fourth line of code here:

    echo 'Site Title Here &middot; Antler & Rose theme by <a href="http://www.dinosaurstew.com" target="_blank">Dinosaur Stew</a>';

* If you want to delete our credit link, just delete the entire fourth line:

    echo ' &middot; Antler & Rose theme by <a href="http://www.dinosaurstew.com" target="_blank">Dinosaur Stew</a>';
