How to Change Copyright Notice in WordPress Footer

 

Before going to Change Copyright Notice in WordPress Footer; you must make a backup of the functions.php and footer.php files.
Download the functions.php and footer.php files from your current theme to your hard disk then edit it.

Alternatively, you can use Editor from Appearance to Change Copyright Notice in WordPress Footer.

Keep in mind, some premium theme platform uses other php file (s), functions.php just calls that/those php file (s). You will get that info from your Theme’s website.

 

You should get something like this in functions.php:

 

// footer copyrightif ( !function_exists('display_copyright') ) {function display_copyright( $iYear = null, $mtsSeparator = " - ", $mtsText = ' <span style="color: #33cccc;">All rights reserved.</span>' ){echo '

‘ . display_years( $iYear, $mtsSeparator, false ) .’ ‘. get_bloginfo(‘name’) . ‘ © ‘. $mtsText . ‘

‘;
}
}
if ( !function_exists(‘display_years’) ) {
function display_years( $iYear = null, $mtsSeparator = ” – “, $bPrint = true ) {
$iCurrentYear = ( date( “Y” ) );
if ( is_int( $iYear ) ) {
$iYear = ( $iCurrentYear > $iYear ) ? $iYear = $iYear . $mtsSeparator . $iCurrentYear : $iYear;
} else {
$iYear = $iCurrentYear; }
if ( $bPrint == true ) echo $iYear; else return $iYear;
}
}
//footer copyright end

 

In the footer.php file, you will get this thing:

 

&lt; ?php if ( function_exists( 'display_copyright' ) ) display_copyright( 2010, ' to ', ' <span style="color: #33cccc;">All Rights Reserved</span>.' ); ?&gt;

    Or, if you are a technophobe like me and a bit worried about playing with .php files, just go to WordPress Dashboard – Appearance – Widgets. Then, drag a Text widget to any of the three Footer Areas and type the text you want.
    The result is not as neat because it does not appear on the same line but it is good enough. And, put the symbol on either sides of your text to make it appear bold.
