In this lesson you'll learn how to edit the footer text in the sparkling theme.
Now for any theme you might have to do a little bit of research yourself for how to remove the footer
copyright information.
This is this little theme by color lib parred by WordPress techs down here that's automatically added
When you install this theme.
If you have a different theme it will probably have the other themes information down here.
They like to include that because they are the creators sometimes in their custom settings there might
be an option for changing this.
And here in the sparkling options if you go to the sparkling options footer you do have this copyright
text and footer spot.
But if I do this they say copyright 20:17 Abner design's what happens is it just shows up next to this
text right here.
What if I want to completely get rid of this text promoting color lib.
Well like I said you'll have to do a little bit of research because it's different for every theme but
I just search for how to remove footer copyright info for sparkling theme in Google and has popped up.
Most modern themes will have their own documentation or their own forum where you could ask questions
and I'm sure that every team out there that's been around for a while someone has asked this and they
actually got back with this.
As that we can plug in to take out that information.
So let's just copy this copyright information and if we go back to our other settings and we plug this
in remember we turned off the header display it's the same thing for the copyright information.
Now it takes away that text.
But you might be saying well what about the text that we added.
Well we're going to have to go about that in a different way.
So if we go back and we go to our widgets and this menu we can go to our footer widgets and this is
where we can add our text.
So if I say add widget text you could add any of these widgets and I suggest adding some of these to
your footer if you want such as search.
But I suppose recent posts are just some basic copyright tecs.
We can just add a text block and then say copyright 2017 whatever year it is and your information.
Now at the bottom we have our copyright information like we wanted.
So it's Savon publish this
another way to get to this is through your appearance widgets tab and then you have your footer widget.
And now we see this text that we added and you can also add links and images and everything else like
we did before with the sidebar widgets but do it with your footer if you want multiple columns of widgets
you can do that to just for kicks and giggles let's add categories to put our widget to.
Now let's just go to our home page and now we have our copyright information and our categories.
Don't worry.
This latest article is a little bit we'll be learning how to do that in the section on blogging later
on.
So that is a quick and easy way to add copyright information or to change the footer for this theme.
Like I said if you are using another theme I don't want to be a broken record but you might have to
do a little bit of research yourself.
Just search for a remove footer and then the name of your theme and there should be some documentation
on that that pops up on Google.
Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you in a another lesson.
