I don’t know how to change the copyright in the footer. Someone can help me?
*Looks at code. Hey, that’s a nice use of filters and actions.*
A plugin is a great way to do it and if you want to support the author by doing that then I am sure that will be appreciated.
However, if you want to learn some coding you can create and use your own plugin. It’s not hard.
In your wp-content/plugin directory and create a file named mh-omega-footer.php.
In that new file paste in these lines.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Customize Footer on Omega theme and it's child themes
Description: This plugin hard codes a new footer into the <a href="https://www.ads-software.com/themes/omega/">Omega theme</a> and any child themes for Omega.
Version: 0.1
*/
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'mh_footer_setup', 21 );
function mh_footer_setup() {
// Add new footer a via a filter
add_filter( 'omega_footer_insert', 'new_default_footer_insert' );
// Remove old footer via the same filter
remove_filter( 'omega_footer_insert', 'omega_default_footer_insert' );
}
function new_default_footer_insert( $settings ) {
return '<p class="copyright">' . __( 'Copyright © ', 'omega' ) . date_i18n( 'Y' ) . ' ' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . '.</p>' . "\n\n" . '<p class="credit"><a class="child-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Attacks!" title="Tom Jones was in it!">Mars Attacks!</a> was a fun movie</p>';
}
Which is a little unreadable and you can get a copy from this URL.

I like Mars Attacks. Tom Jones didn’t get enough credit. ??
I have not looked at any of the child themes that the Omega theme puts into the theme dashboard as advertisement, but this plugin should work for any of those themes too.
If you make a mistake in this plugin then use FTP or whatever file management tools your host provides you with to just delete the mh-omega-footer.php file.
