Hi everyone! I learned something today about how to change the footer of my website.

It took me less than 5 minutes to pesonalize it so I think it will be helpful for newbies like me.

Okay, here are the steps.

1. Go to your dashboard and locate appearance.

2. Under it,is the editor. Click it.

3. On the right of your screen, look for footer.

4. Highlight this and delete.

Its html so you need to be careful with what you do. It can mess up your entire website.

5. Copy and paste this © into the area where you just deleted, and type your desired title of your site.

6. Save your work by clicking update file.

7. Click view site on your dashboard and see the changes.

Hope this tip helps you!

Cheers!

Laurice

Thank you Laurice for such an easy remedy to get rid of proudly powered by wordpress. I used your information and resolved my problem in a couple minutes. Very well done! And also I am following you. And since I was a teenager in the late 60's,Peace....Bob

Here is my code:
<?php /* if index.php or another page template (copied from index.php) was not used */
global $bfa_ata, $cols, $left_col, $left_col2, $right_col, $right_col2;
if (!isset($bfa_ata))
list($bfa_ata, $cols, $left_col, $left_col2, $right_col, $right_col2, $bfa_ata['h_blogtitle'], $bfa_ata['h_posttitle']) = bfa_get_options();
?>

<!-- / Main Column -->

<!-- Right Inner Sidebar -->
<?php if ( $right_col2 == "on" ) { ?>


<?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar('Right Inner Sidebar') ) : ?>


<?php _e('Categories','atahualpa'); ?>



    <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title;_li='); ?></ul>
    </div>

    <div class="widget widget_archive"><div class="widget-title">
    <h3><?php _e('Archives','atahualpa'); ?>

    <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>




A sample text widget



Etiam pulvinar consectetur dolor sed malesuada. Ut convallis
euismod dolor nec pretium. Nunc ut tristique massa.


Nam sodales mi vitae dolor ullamcorper et vulputate enim accumsan.
Morbi orci magna, tincidunt vitae molestie nec, molestie at mi. Nulla nulla lorem,
suscipit in posuere in, interdum non magna.




<?php endif; ?>


<?php } ?>

<!-- Right Sidebar -->
<?php if ( $right_col == "on" ) { ?>


<?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar('Right Sidebar') ) : ?>

<!-- Default content here -->

Recent Posts


<?php $r = new WP_Query(array(
'showposts' => 20,
'what_to_show' => 'posts',
'nopaging' => 0,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1));
if ($r->have_posts()) : ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
endif; ?>

Your code is nothing like what my code is. Could what you have presented be out of date.

I've bookmarked this for future reference. You need to put up a warning that modifying the theme can destroy your website and to save a backup copy in Notepad first. The other option is to create a child-theme so that if your theme is updated you don't lose your modifications. ~Marion

Vicki, were does the &Copy; come into it. When I put it in it was also at the bottom of the page with my text. I took it out and now just get my text, the site name. Which is fine.

Wonderful Thank you so much I had booked marked this a couple of week's ago and just got the nerve to try it,Vicki

Hi Laurice,

Just finished a cup of coffee, followed by mug of ACV&H ahhhhhaaaa!

I think you are on the right track concentrating on content and more new articles & blogs. Perhaps it would be a good idea to monetize your site at the same time.

A new one? hahaha!! That would be nice to look forward to! But they say one step at a time...... so I would do my first until at least 80% finished. Thats what the books say. But I tend to get a little distracted like you! hahaha! Keep going you are doing a good job!

Ahhuh! Now I know why the manager of the SuperMart told me to shake the bottle well (but he couldn't tell what Mother was!)

Thanks for the info, Laurice. I will consume the last drops of the bottle with a bit more relish! :)))

Btw How is the website going, traffic-wise? It looks good and you write well!

Hi Wondermn,

Thank you. I tried my best.

The sediments is the most nutritious, so you better drink it till the last drop of it lol.

Traffic-wise, hmmm not really sure about it as I just installed Google Analytics yesterday. I noticed that it didnt track the few visits I got from our WA friends prior to its installation.

Right now, I dont really mind the traffic. All I want to do is build my site and when I have enough contents, I can take it easy from there. Im very disorganized at the moment and so distracted with new article ideas for my niche. Also, Im thinking of making a new one hahaha

Laurice

Thanks for some more wordpress info.

Glad that this is helpful to you.

Laurice

Thanks for the tip, Laurice. Working on my website now.... ! Btw wish I had a mou like yours! And apple cider vinegar is my favourite drink!

No problem. Glad to share things I learned. Whats the matter with your mouse?
ACV is great, and its one of my favorite too.

Laurice

Haha Sorry I meant moustache! I can't grow one like yours!
I particularly like the ACV with honey, even though they about 3 times more in price! All the best, Laurice,

hahaha I know. my moustache is just plainly awesome.
ACV and honey? I dont know your prices there but I can get it here for 4 dollars a bottle tho the ACV is more than 15 USD a liter.

Simply awesome! Hahaha... Make sure you don't shave it off!
fyi .... Here in Oz the ACV & honey (contains the "MOTHER"), 750ml is around about A$8.50. Without honey, also 750ml, about, A$2.50
btw do you know what is "MOTHER"?

Hi Wondermn,
As far as I know, Mother is the the one that settles at the bottom of the bottle. The “mother” is made up of living nutrients and bacteria. and when ACV is pasteurized, these living nutrients and bacteria are killed making it not potent to heal our body.

Thats so cheap. I think we get our ACV from either New Zealand or Australia.
