How Can I Edit This Section Of My Footer? by futurism: 2:04pm On Jul 10, 2019
Hello,

I want to edit the copyright section of my website footer on the website AppRay dot com but I have not been able to do it.

Unfortunately, it cant be done or found in the footer.php, none of the content in the footer can be found in the footer.php

I can visibly see the section via source code as seen below

</div>
<p class="copyright">&copy;&nbsp;&nbsp;2019&nbsp;.&nbsp;Built using WordPress and the <a target="_blank" href="https://extendthemes.com/go/built-with-highlight/" class="mesmerize-theme-link">Highlight Theme</a></p> </div>

But all I can see in the footer.php is this below

<?php mesmerize_get_footer_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>

This closest I even came to which would have allowed me edit the footer is the part that has the phone number, address and other, those are even editable on theme customizer.

I just need to edit the copy right section to suit my need.

Please help. Thanks.

Okay bro. Do you know the funny thing? Using Chrome developer tool, I can see the very file that house that section. In fact I have downloaded it from Chrome developer tool but since I do not know the exact location of the file, it will be hard to put back after editing the line I want.

The weird thing is, it is not visible within the theme. In fact from what Chrome shows, the very file we are looking for is not in /WP-Content see attached.

That file is definitely hosted outside WP rather, it is hosted on an external server.
And mind you, if you eventually remove that file/content by any means, since the theme you are using is not the full version; your site will most likely redirect to another server depending on the developer's config.

Your best guess is to hide the file using appropriate css syntaxt.

Goodluck.

my guy what u said is totally wrong;

the function wp_footer() is responsible for this.

in order to locate the where you can edit it

search for "add_action ('wp_footer' " in the theme files and edit it.
