 * Hello,
    I used this code in the footer of my theme, to insert to “Hello World”
   in the div id=”content”
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       	document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = '<span class="copyright">Hello world</span>';
       </script>
       ```
   
 * So now, i’d like to put the code in the **function.php**
 * Please how to do that?
 * Thanks

 * Hi taghaboy,
 * What you ask is “possible”, but would require a lot of:
 * ”./’ changes
 * Which will most likely end in php errors or site wreckage. If you need to add
   JS, it’s way better to add it either in
 * header.php or footer.php theme file.
 * Plus, you’ll have examples in these files if it’s done well.

 * Maybe it’s easier if you use a plugin, [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js-php/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js-php/)
 * Note that you’ll probably only want the JS bit (in the plugin) and not the HTML:
 *     ```
       document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = '<span class="copyright">Hello world</span>';
       ```
