Change header copyright text

    I really like this site, which I am working with SportsPress to create a club-themed website.

    How can I change the copyright text in the footer?

    At present it states: “© 2015 THE SUPER SADDLERS” (The Super Saddlers being the website name).

    However, while that is the name of the website, it isn’t the name of me! I would prefer it to state “© 2015 Gavin Drake” with a link under the name to my main website.

    I’ve had a look at the footer.php and I can’t work out how to change it. I tried and broke the site – I had to re-upload the theme from scratch to rescue it.

    I’m not a programmer and have extensive experience but only basic knowledge. Could you please assist?

    Many Thanks,
    Gavin Drake.

    @gavindrake The footer copyright and “designed by” line are defined in functions.php around lines 560 – 580. I’d recommend creating a child theme for best results, but you could also change get_bloginfo( 'name' ) to your name for a quick fix.

    However, this is a theme function so it will be refreshed when you update the theme. I’ve created a starter child theme that you can use if you wish to customize Rookie: https://github.com/ThemeBoy/Rookie-Child

    With the child theme, you can create a copy of footer.php and make changes as needed 🙂
