• I want to change the footer text so it is not saying “Proudly powered by WordPress | Theme: West by aThemes.” but instead has a copyright on it with my site name. How do I do that?

  • You can add some CSS using a custom CSS plugin:

    .site-info {
       display: none;
    }
    #colophon:after {
       content: 'Copyright 2016 Acme Anvil Company';
       color: white;
       font-size: 16px;
       display: table;
       margin:0 auto;
       height: 70px;
    }

    The first rule hides the existing copyright info, the second rule adds your own info. Make changes to the property values as you see fit.

    Alternately, you can create a child theme. You don’t want to modify the theme files directly, or else your changes will be lost the next time you update/upgrade the theme (which is why I recommended using a CSS plugin earlier if you plan on taking that route).

    Then, in your child theme, make a copy of the parent theme’s folder.php file. Edit the file and look for these lines:

    <div class="site-info container">
       <a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://www.ads-software.com/', 'west' ) ); ?>"><?php printf( esc_html__( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'west' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
       <span class="sep"> | </span>
       <?php printf( esc_html__( 'Theme: %2$s by %1$s.', 'west' ), 'aThemes', '<a href="https://athemes.com/theme/west" rel="designer">West</a>' ); ?>
    </div><!-- .site-info -->

    Replace the middle three lines with your copyright statement.
