change footer.php text

Hi –

Please provide a link to the actual site so we can take a closer look and see what’s possible.

Hi there,

I think some of your code got stripped out there. When posting code in the forums, please remember to always wrap it in backticks to prevent that from happening.

The full code for the footer attribution in this theme is:

<div class="site-info">
				<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://www.ads-software.com/', 'shoreditch' ) ); ?>"><?php printf( esc_html__( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'shoreditch' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
				<span class="sep">/</span>
				<?php printf( esc_html__( 'Theme: %1$s by %2$s.', 'shoreditch' ), 'Shoreditch', '<a href="https://wordpress.com/themes/" rel="designer">Automattic</a>' ); ?>
			</div><!-- .site-info -->

You’ll want to modify that like so:

<div class="site-info">
				<?php printf( esc_html__( 'Proudly powered by %s' ), '<a href="https://myawesomesite.com/" rel="designer">CTD</a>' ); ?>
			</div><!-- .site-info -->

This assumes you don’t want the theme attribution to show either. And replace myawesomesite.com with your actual site URL.

Be careful about modifying theme files directly, though. The moment the theme updates, such modifications will be lost again, so the recommended method to do this it to instead create a child theme, and add this to the child theme’s footer.php file.

We’re not able to help you here with actually creating a child theme, but you can find the support page for doing that here:
