 * I’d like to remove the “Proudly Powered by WordPress | Theme: Canape by Automattic”
   footer. I’ve tried adding the following CSS to Appearance/Customize/Additional
   CSS, but it didn’t work.
 * .czr-credits {
    display: none; }
 * Thanks,
    Gregg

 * Hi Gregg,
 * Did you get that CSS from an online tutorial or another theme? CSS is theme-specific,
   so code for one theme won’t necessarily work on another, and Canape, for example,
   doesn’t use a `czr-credits` class at all, so that code will have no effect on
   this theme.
 * To hide the footer credits using CSS in this theme instead use this:
 *     ```
       div.site-info {
         visibility: hidden;
       }
       ```

 * If I wanted to add their copyright information in that area of the footer like“
   Copyright © 2019 Two Guys Photography – All rights reserved” in plain white text,
   what code would I use for that?
 * Thanks KokkieH for the other code, that worked great.

 * For that you can use this CSS code:
 *     ```
       div.site-info::before {
         content: "Copyright © 2019 Two Guys Photography - All rights reserved";
         visibility: visible;
         color: white;
       }
       ```
   
 * The options for styling that is limited, though – if you want it aligned more
   to the left or the right I can try to figure out the code for that, but that’s
   about the extent of what we’ll be able to do with CSS only.
 * If you want to customize that even further, the recommended way to do that would
   be to create a child theme, and instead make these changes in the `footer.php`
   file of that child theme. I’m not able to help with that lever of customization,
   though.
