  • it’s usually in the footer.php in your theme if hard coded, advanced themes however uses theme settings to allow you a friendly user interface to change copyright text, so search in your theme settings panel if there is any, try the widgets, if not then they are most probably hard coded in the file footer.php in your theme, be careful when you edit that file, ask for help if you don’t know what you’re doing there.

    I am sorry. I mean that I am not used to it!

    If you’re not comfortable editing PHP files, then I recommend that you get professional help, mistakes with php files could cause your site to crash.

    I just read that it must be in the map wp-contents/themes/. Where can I find this? I followed a tutorial of someone, and he changed as follows the code. But the problem is that under appearance no “editor” is. I can’t see the footerphp somewhere else!
    Tekst of the tutorial:
    Step 31: Modify Footer
    Now this section you must be extra extra extra (and extra) careful.
    If you delete one extra line of code – all your hard work will be wiped out.?
    Follow this section carefully if you want to modify the header to show your website name.
    1. Go to your Dashboard > Appearance > click on Editor
    2. Click on Footer.php on the right
    3. Click the proceed button in the center
    4. Now delete everything you see
    5. Take the code below and wherever it says NYC TECH CLUB in red – change it to your web address and business name (two places you need to update – just two!)

    [ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

    <?php
    /**
     * The template for displaying the footer.
     *
     * Contains the closing of the #content div and all content after
     *
     * @package Sydney
     */
    ?>
     </div>
     </div>
     </div><!-- #content -->
    
     <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'footer-1' ) ) : ?>
     <?php get_sidebar('footer'); ?>
     <?php endif; ?>
    
     <a><i class="fa fa-angle-up"></i></a>
    
     <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo">
     <div class="site-info container">
     <a>"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly created by %s', 'sydney' ), 'NYC TECH CLUB 2015' ); ?></a>
     </div><!-- .site-info -->
     </footer><!-- #colophon -->
    </div><!-- #page -->
    
    <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    
    </body>
    </html>

    And click update file

    Take a look at this post in the theme support forum.
