Updating Copyright notice

[Phil]

Is the copyright info only updated via the ‘appearance’ customise section?
i am using preference child theme.

When I update in the section above it does not update the info on the site?

Thanks

What version of Preference are you using? Right now the current version is 1.4.6 for the Preference Pro. I noticed that I forgot to remove the option setting from the customizer when I updated the copyright code to automatically keep the date current but it also grabs the site title and puts it in now…no longer needing you to type in the copyright.

I am using 1.4.5 for Preference Pro

In the parent theme’s footer.php file, near the bottom, is there code that looks like this:

[code type=php]

[Phil]

‘footer-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => false, ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘st-footer-menu’ ) ); ?>

This is what I have…

ok cool… so if you have the setting in the theme options to fill out the copyright, that is my fault, that should have been removed which I will need to double check and do an update. However, what the code does that we posted, is automatically put the current date (year) in the footer area, but it also grabs the site’s name which is found from Settings >> General

So if you change the site title, this will show in the copyright info. However, if you want something different, you can remove that php code between the

tags and type in your own copyright (obviously you would want to do this from the child theme level).

Is this still correct? The Name in the copyright notice pulls from Settings > General? I’ve got a typo and I can’t find where this is pulling to edit it. I’ve changed the General Settings, but it doesn’t change the copyright notice. It is correct in both the General Settings and under Site Title & Tagline in the Custom menu, but the copyright is still wrong.

Hi Ellen…should still work by changing the General settings for the site name, but also clear your browser cache to see if it works. Also, what version of Preference are you on?
