***** Some Themes have this code in widgets *****

***** Some Themes have widget code in the footer.php code ****

If you can't find the widget and need help because the footer.php code doesn't look anything like this please feel free to send me a Private Message.

You can find the Wordpress Footer Code by clicking on Appearance > Editor in the left hand column. In the right hand column you are going to want to click on Footer.php once the Editor opens up.

I have a copyright plugin. I think that updates it automatically. But I guess this tutorial is suggesting it can be done without using a plugin!

If you give me the name of the plugin I can test it to see. I still have this theme loaded on my test site.

Sure... it's simply called "auto copyright".

I have played with this a bit but am not figuring out how to use it. I am in the middle of some other things at the moment. I do think what is here and what you are using are used differently just from the part I did read on it.

In order to use the global portion of the plugin the theme would need to be where you could put the snippet that comes with the plugin

"global portion"? .... not sure I'm understanding...

By the way, when does it need to say "2015"?... at the stroke of 1/1/15, or does a few days before or after make any difference?

I actually use 2014-2015 for example to show how long the site has been up. Many of mine say 2008-2015 for instance.

This is also a good idea to help further prevent your site and your content from being scraped. Some Blackhat marketing software will do an extensive search and look for footprints, like the Wordpress copyright to scrape content in bulk. Thanks for sharing and all the best!

Thanks for this. Hopefully this will answer a question/comment left earlier.

is this to eliminate the need for a plugin to prevent people copying the text or something deeper?

This wasn't created with people copying text in mind. Someone just asked me if I knew had to modify the Copyright. It is an older theme so the only way to do it was to modify the code.
