WordPress Changing the Footer Text


To change the footer copyright text in the OnePress theme for WordPress, follow these steps:

Method 1: Using the Theme Customizer

  1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
  2. Go to Appearance > Customize.
  3. Look for Footer Settings:
  • In the Customizer, navigate to the section where you can modify the footer settings. This section might be labeled differently depending on the theme. Look for sections like “Footer” or “Footer Options.”
  1. Edit the Footer Text:
  • Once in the correct section, you should see an option to change the footer text. Enter your desired text here.
  • Save and Publish your changes.

Method 2: Using a Child Theme

If you want more control or if the Customizer doesn’t provide an option, you can use a child theme to modify the footer.

  1. Create a Child Theme:
  • If you haven’t already, create a child theme. You can do this by creating a new folder in your wp-content/themes directory and adding a style.css and functions.php file.
  1. Copy the Footer File:
  • Copy the footer.php file from the parent OnePress theme into your child theme directory.
  1. Edit the footer.php File:
  • Open the copied footer.php file in your child theme and look for the section containing the copyright text. It might look something like this:
    php ¨K5K
  • Modify this section to your desired text. For example:
    php ¨K6K
  • Save the changes.
  1. Activate the Child Theme:
  • In your WordPress Admin Dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes and activate your child theme.

Method 3: Using a Plugin

If you’re not comfortable editing theme files, you can use a plugin to change the footer text.

  1. Install and Activate a Footer Plugin:
  • Go to Plugins > Add New in your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
  • Search for a plugin like “Footer Putter” or “Insert Headers and Footers.”
  • Install and activate the plugin.
  1. Configure the Plugin:
  • Go to the settings page for the plugin and look for options to modify the footer text.
  • Enter your desired text and save the changes.

Method 4: Using Custom CSS (Limited)

If you only need to hide or style the existing footer text, you can use custom CSS.

  1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
  2. Go to Appearance > Customize.
  3. Navigate to Additional CSS:
  • Add custom CSS to hide or style the footer text. For example, to hide the footer text:
    css .site-info { display: none; }
  • Save and publish your changes.

By following these methods, you can customize the footer copyright text in the OnePress theme to suit your needs.
