    Hi

    I am using the WordPress Adelle Theme with the GNU Lisence:

    http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/adelle/

    I just want to check the following:

    The footer currently states:
    Blog at WordPress.com. | The Adelle Theme by BluChic.

    I want to change it to the following:
    <copyright symbol> my website name
    <designed by> my website name

    Please confirm:

    1. I can change the copyright in the footer to read “<copy right symbol> my website name” and this essentially means that the content is written by me and is owned by me.

    2. I can remove/edit the Adelle Theme to “<Designed by> my website name” meaning I am using a theme which was designed under the GNU General Public License.

    Please advise soonest.

    Not 30 minutes and you’re bumping? Don’t do that, those get deleted.

    *Reads poorly labeled “GNU” topic, wishes for coffee, finds none*

    Yes to all of the above. The GPL lets you modify the code anyway you like. As long as you do not attempt to pass that code off as 100% your creation (but modifications are encouraged) then you should be fine.

    As it sounds like you are modifying it for your site then modify away. 😉

    Just keep in mind that changing a theme directly can cause you problems later on. If you create and activate a child theme of Adelle then your changes will be safe.

    Edit: Please do not create multiple topics for the same thing. I’ve deleted those duplicate topics.

    Thank you so much.

    Yes, I created multiple ones as I was unsure if I posted this in the correct forum.

    I’ll not do this again.

    Thank you for your assistance.
