The simplest way to add a copyright notice to the footer would be to add some custom CSS:
.site-info:before {
content: "Copyright 2015 Me | ";
}
Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten whenever the theme is updated.
Since you’re already using Jetpack, an easy way to add custom CSS is to activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.
thanks ill give it a try! is that code youve given the same for adding any footer content eg a quote? thanks 🙂
thanks kathryn this worked. i wonder how is it possible to change the appearance of the footer to add colour, and to add more text there like a quote? and social media icons. and is it possible to get rid of the “powered by wordpress” text ? thanks

You can add any text content within the quote marks. Be careful with punctuation or other special characters, though, they may not work.

You can change the colour of your new text by adding another line to the CSS:
.site-info:before {
content: "Copyright 2015 Me | ";
color: #bb00bb;
}
To change the colour of the whole footer credits, this should do it:
.site-footer .site-info a, .site-footer .site-info {
color: #bb00bb;
}
Change the colour code to anything you like.
If you want to remove portions of the footer you’ll need to create a child theme and edit the footer.php file in your child theme to replace the existing footer with your desired text.
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:
