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.

Check the theme functions.php

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.

I didn't plan to remove bro. I just want to edit that section and save it.

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.

Those are all the options I have. The installed theme is actually a child's theme of another theme sha... can I find what you mentioned in the circled region?
