Is there a way to quote someone else's whole article in my post? I want to have a collection of articles by experts in the field available to my readers.

Just make sure you give them credit by including a hyperlink to the original, if appropriate :)

tI want a copy write notice on the bottom of my pages. I can't figure out how to do that on the 2016 theme. Any one know what to do?

Thanks for the help. I followed your directions to the letter but I don't find any footer at all on my pages. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the code I was working with says it is a template. Maybe I have to paste it somewhere? What do you think?

Are you working in a child theme ( child of the parent theme )? It sounds like it.

Yes, in that case, after you did #3 in my list, you would see, instead a header, that reads "Templates" (in bold).

Just under that will be a link for your parent theme. The link label should read "Twenty-sixteen", in this case, or the official name of the theme.

Do click on that. Then you can start following my list, again, beginning at #4. Let me know how you do. :)

I really don't know if it is a child theme. But I looked and can't find a link for the parent theme. There is a drop down box which lists several themes but when I select the 2016 option I'm right back where I was.
I'm sure that I'm missing something obvious here. How irritating.

I can send you a Private Message, here, and walk you through this one step at a time. It will be more efficient and much less frustrating for you. Then you can get it straightened out quickly. Let me know.

1. Click on the "Appearances" menu.

2. Click on the "Editor" submenu.

3. On the editor page, look in the far right column...

4. Click the link in that column that reads "Theme Footer". Below it in small print it says, "footer.php".

5. Now code appears in the middle section.

6. PROCEED WITH CARE FROM HERE...!

7. Scroll to the base of the textbox with the code.

8. You will see a bit that says, exactly "__( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'twentysixteen' ), 'WordPress' "

9.A You COULD replace that entire quote with:
'© Copyright 2016, YourLegalNameGoesHere. All rights reserved.'
Obviously, replacing your name in the spot where I show YourLegalNameGoesHere.

Please be very careful to replace only that section quoted with this one, SINGLE QUOTED phrase.

THEN you must change the "printf" function name in front of it to simply "print". In other words, backspace over the f in "printf". That's it. Simple, but this is important. So that function (ignoring the php tags for the moment, because you will leave them in tact) will finally read:

"print ('© Copyright 2016, YourLegalNameHere. All rights reserved.');"

But it will have your name it, of course, because you replaced it. And the double quotes surrounding the phrase above will not be there. :)

There is an alternate method, if you want to leave their "powered by..." attribution, and just add an extra copyright line. That method is in alternate, 9B, below.

10. Click the UPDATE button and view one of your pages.

--------------
Alternate method restarting at 9.
9.B. To leave their attribution in and add your copyright line below it use this method instead of 9A.

Place your cursor just to the left of the beginning of the line below their attribution. That line reads: '<!-- .site-info -->' (without the quotes).

Hit your return key (Mac) or enter key (Windows) to create an extra line ABOVE IT. This way, your copyright will appear just below their line.

Place your cursor at the beginning of that extra line and type exactly as follows, But WITH NO QUOTATION MARKS. I only add the quotation marks in this case so (hopefully) the break tag will show up, here, in the comments:
'© Copyright 2016, YourLegalNameGoesHere. All rights reserved.'

Once again, replace YourLegalNameGoesHere with your own name, with just regular capitalization; and this time, there are NO quotes; because it's just straight html code.

10. Click the UPDATE button and view one of your pages.

----------

If my code doesn't show up properly, I'll write back. Otherwise this should work. Some themes have footer listed in Appearances, so you can work with it. But some, like twenty-sixteen require you to use the editor.

PM me if you have questions after this.

--Fran

p.s. Do know that any updates we do to a theme, will be fine until we click to update their theme. They have to keep their themes up to date to work with ongoing updates to Wordpress.

This is why it is recommended that if we are going to be changing stuff (with the editor, for example) that we use a "child" theme. I'm guessing that all of the themes have a child theme, and we activate those just like activating a regular theme. Feel free to post another question on that since it is off topic with this one. Just thought I'd better mention it. :)
