It is recommended to use child theme while editing your wordpress themes.
To make change/update use filezilla.
Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzxGVaoG2CY
Go to your theme’s folder and find footer.php
In line No 74 you will find following code
__( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'writr' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></div>
change it to following code
__( '(c) 2015 %s', 'writr' ), 'Karel Zitny' ); ?></a></div>
Thanks!!
Thanks for the assist, Madhusudan Pokharel!
Sigognac – Making a child theme means your changes won’t be overwritten when you update the theme. If you’re new to child themes, you can explore these guides:

Once you copy footer.php into your child theme, I havce a few suggestions:
If you use the code Madhusudan provided, do not change writr in the PHP line, it’s the theme’s “textdomain” and shouldn’t be changed if you use that part of the PHP – it’s meant for localizations of the theme. It does not appear on the site’s front end (public side).
I’d suggest you change line 74-75 from:
<div><a href="http://ww.wp.xz.cn/" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'A Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'writr' ); ?>" rel="generator"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'writr' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a></div>
<div><?php printf( __( 'Theme: %1$s by %2$s.', 'writr' ), 'Writr', '<a href="https://wordpress.com/themes/writr" rel="designer">WordPress.com</a>' ); ?></div>
to:
<div>© 2015 Karel Zitny<br>
<?php printf( __( '%1$s by %2$s.', 'writr' ), 'Writr theme', '<a href="https://wordpress.com/themes/writr" rel="designer">WordPress.com</a>' ); ?></div>
I tested and it works well: https://cloudup.com/cNtgpwR2AZt
Thank you both. All done!
You’re welcome, looks good!
