Editing Footer information

[rixieParticipant]

Hi, I’m Rixie and I’m new and confused!

I am in the very early stages of setting up my site, and down want to go any further until I have sorted one or two of the basics. My first issue is with the Footer information that is displaying.

Here is my problem:

I have purchased a new Doman and will be getting a web redirect put in place. I have found on the settings page the section that allows me to input Footer Copyright info/Copyright name, and I have input the info accordingly. Now when I view my site, I get : Copyright @2013 My name and new site name.com but then i get a comma and the original http:// original info still showing before it sates All Right Reserved. How do I get rid of the original http bit?

I have looked around some of the existing sites, and some contain this extra bit and others don’t, so I know there must be a way to edit it out somewhere.

Thanks

Hi Rixie and Welcome

It might be that those sites with a redirect have the extra page data?

If you find the relevant place let me know as I wish to edit the date so it shows 2013-2014 and not just 2014

If I find it I will let you know

Hi Christine, thanks for your response but it’s nothing to do with web redirect, as I haven’t set that up yep. Hopefully, someone will have an answer for both of us 🙂

Hi!

I haven’t changed that yet but take a look at the file functions.php in themes/symbiostock

You’ll find this line :

function symbiostock_website_copyright()
{

$copyright_owner = stripslashes(
get_option( ‘symbiostock_copyright_name’ , ” ) );

?>

Copyright ©
<?php $the_year = date( "Y" );
echo $the_year; ?>

<?php echo ' ‘ . $copyright_owner . ‘, ‘
. get_bloginfo( ‘url’ ) . ”; ?>
All Rights Reserved.

<?php
$theme_credit = get_option( ‘symbiostock_theme_credit’ , ” );

if ( empty( $theme_credit ) || $theme_credit == ‘on’ )
{
?>

Try changing the .get_bloginfo url

Hope that works

Cheers

Thank you, I thought I would find in in a .php somewhere but you have narrowed it down and saved me a lot of searching. Much appreciated, I will give it a go.

I muck things up when I try and change php files so unless you know exactly what you are doing I would suggest you rename your current function.php and then upload the edited one, this way if you get a white screen (as I did when I tried to change the years) you can just delete your new one and rename your original back to function.php

You’re totally right Christine.
I ALWAYS have two backups on my computer, one for editing the files and the other to replace messed up files

Thank you. As advised, I kept a copy of the original text but managed to find the relevant bit and have updated it to what I need 🙂
