  • I’m not one of the professional helpers here but usually the footer text can be found/edited in (your theme name here)/core/includes/theme-generator/theme-generator.php. You cannot access this through the “editor” so you will need an ftp client (like Dreamweaver) to access this file. Hope this helps and good luck ??

    All help is always welcome, but it’s really never a good idea to edit theme files. To make changes you should make a child theme — that way your changes won’t be overwritten when the theme is updated:

    @deoncol, it looks like that theme has widgets in the footer, so go to your widgets and see if you can change the text there.

    look at the functions.php and find a function that is using the bp_footer hook.

    I have read all your replies and some I kind of understand but cannot find the solution. The correct text was there before I updated to wordpress 3.5 then the main picture or “header” also stopped scrolling. maybe I should wait for the new update from Custom Community for the fix?
    Thank you all for your responses, I have a lot to learn.

    Since that seems to be related to WP3.5, you may want to go through the troubleshooting steps in this post —

    It may be a plug-in problem rather than your theme.

    Still cannot figure this out ?? I wish WordPress was easier to use for a beginner like me..
