How to change the footer credits on your website yet I you guys out of accurately another WP crafter
videoing under the show you how to change the footer credits in your WordPress website
when you're being developer didn't make it easy to do so now there are eight actually
before I get into this my website lately I have over 30 videos geared towards people
new to WordPress or even people that are experienced with WordPress but don't know every little
detail to accomplish what they want head over to my website I got these videos there there
known for you I got to do is sign up for a free account in him and give all those videos
to you and that's gonna really really make your website shine and now help level up your
skills anyways activists the world without the flutter of your WordPress website I don't
know why Dean developers on the developers don't make it so that it's really easy to
do to change the credits that just I just don't get it but luckily in this video on
the show you how to change those for credits to be whatever you want them to be so let's
take a look at my WordPress dashboard so I got this thing contest recommended doing to
the limited due to missing I'm also doing a very popular thing called to do anything
both of them don't make it available so when you log into the backend of your WordPress
website and let me just clarify what I'm talking about if I click on to the front of the website
and scroll down you see right here it's as being by that's what I'm talking about here
let me also open up the DVD the main show you what I'm talking about there when you
scroll down and says designed by elegant themes powered by WordPress when talking about changing
those credits to whatever you want them to say so let's first do it in this Tesseract
scene here you would just go to appearance. It is the same steps for both the code looks
a little different so good appearance and then click on editor now the quarter credits
are to be in a file called footer.php nine times out of 10 of never come across a team
that it wasn't in the footer.php so when you click on that editor here's a different template
files were inapplicable when this is footer and here it is this footer.php now what I
like to do and what I recommend you do is to highlight everything in here and put it
in the clipboard of your on your computer so what I use I highlight everything now I'm
on a Mac so I do it this way if your PC you just say control eight and a highlight everything
and then I'm gonna put it in my clipboard in case I screw something up at least I have
this in my clipboard and I can easily restore but I'm not finished writing up okay so hopefully
okay so I just wrote down and to the bottom so in this particular theme this test right
FEMA's down here so you need to do is, look for the same text that you see on the front
answer right here existing by Safeco here in Iowa I scroll down and looking for where
it's his theme by in here it is now you've got now this is code okay there's elements
of code in this footer she got been careful what you change but don't be afraid of breaking
something we just put everything in this file in the clipboard so you don't have to be like
too afraid to break anything so if you want to change the theme by text you would just
change this right here now the remainder of the credit is and actually a hyperlink and
so right here is where the hyperlink goes to him than here's the text that wrapped around
that hyperlinks or you could just change this so France and Spain by we can say I love and
let's say instead of putting this name here would say WordPress and then let's change
the link to WordPress.org okay so what you make your changes to scroll down and click
update file and him and to go here and just do a refresh and artists I love and you can
see about the hyperlink there for WordPress that I do in this theme lets do it in the
DVD not just doing this all off-the-cuff I haven't looked at it prior to just clicking
on the record button which sometimes could be a mess but anyways going to appear in its
appearance than editor and I'm looking for something that's his footer curate is and
all right so like I said before, in a highlighted all a little put it in my clipboard in case
I messed something up and and hear what I'm looking for is where it says designed by and
then there's a hyperlink and then there's this the Haskell type minces powered by so
let's see if we can find that Kate usually the bottom okay here it is so is is designed
by striking change that tax and then here's worse is powered by and I can change that
text now here's where I would change the link and the text that went with the link so here's
where the URL goes and here's were said premium WordPress thing I'm sorry our adherence is
elegant themes and that here's the URL to word has a link to word press and the link
to WordPress so that's pretty much is the same thing just click on update file when
they do a refresh on the front and make sure you didn't miss anything up you can also delete
the entire footer if you don't want it not the higher order but the credits of the footer
so let's try to do it on the divvy theme and I can always restore from what I got in the
clipboard so let's see I think I would just need to delete this part from these/P here
to the P there some that are highlighted all and I'm in a deleted in the number click on
update file and then I'm in a go to the front and click refresh and you can see the whole
credit is gone so likewise you don't need to credit or you might want to put a copy
right there that would be an ideal spot to put a copyright so now if you mess anything
up remember I have been the clipboard sucking going here and I can highlight everything
began like that and then I can paste what I had in the clipboard and then I can click
on update file and if I did that writes on the front and when I hit refresh we should
see her credits again there it is so that's why I was like to put everything in the clipboard
