changing footer BLOG info text

  • Can anyone help me figure out how to edit the footer description of my blog which is apparently being taken from a form I filled out in WP? I mean, it is fine everywhere else it appears but at the bottom I would like to truncate the parenthetical explanation which makes it too long.

    Can anyone help?

    ‘Powered by WordPress using the F8 Theme
    ” class=”feed”>subscribe to entries
    All content © <?php echo date(“Y”); ?> by <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>’

    THANKS.

  • <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> outputs whatever you type into dashboard – settings – general – site title

    if you don’t want this output in the footer, either edit the site title in the general settings, of add some hardcoded text instead of the above code snippet.

    ooh. Hi alchymyth.

    Thank you. I see that the text from the General Settings Site Title shows up at the /top/ where it does look good. It is just that at the bottom it looks really cluttered.

    Do you mind my if I follow up with you about this hard coded text issue? I have been able to do a decent amount in HTML (with some great help on the Forum…) but is there a tip or two or even a site that breaks this down more in a sort of pedantic way?

    I mean, can I just put text between the parenthesis and expect it to show up instead of the single quote and the – I guess that “name” is some sort of active link to the Site Title…?

    THANK YOU

    you need to replace exactly the shown section with a text of your choice:

    before:
    <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
    after:
    Some text here.
