    -depends on the active theme-

    • some themes use footer.php template (edit via FTP)*
    • some themes have one or more widget area in the footer which can be managed in customizer area.
    • some themes have other ways text and links are managed in footer

    contact your specific theme support team for guidance.

    *use a child theme for changes

    If you are going to edit files consider making a child theme. If you make changes and your theme updates all your changes will be lost.

    As Lisa pointed out this can vary from theme to theme. But,most themes have a footer.php file which contains the code for your footer.

    hey there,

    in my case it helped to edit the footer.php in the themefolder (check with ftp client: wp-content/themes/yourtheme). Before finding this file i saved the whole folder on my computer and searched the “in file text” for a copyright string, which was displayed on every page… good luck!
