Editing footer in Genesis themes<\/a> is one of the most frequently discussed topics. When you customize a Genesis child theme, one of the very first things you want to do is change studiopress footer credit text to make it your own. Plus, you also want to designed it in a way so it stands out and get noticed to your visitors.<\/p>\n

There are several approaches to change footer copyright text in genesis theme, and in this post, I will walk you through various methods I have personally used.<\/p>\n

So, are you ready?<\/p>\n

The Plugin Approach<\/h2>\n

If you’re not familiar with Genesis framework or not comfortable enough to get your hands dirty with code, you might want to use these popular plugins to edit your footer text.<\/p>\n

Genesis Simple Edits<\/a><\/strong>: The genesis simple edits footer plugin creates a new Genesis settings page that allows you to modify the post-info (byline), post-meta, and footer area on any Genesis theme. You can also use any of the shortcodes provided in the admin screen. <\/p>\n

How to Use Genesis Simple Edits<\/h3>\n

After you\u2019ve installed and activated the plugin, go to the Genesis > Simple Edits page in your WordPress dashboard, check the \u201cModify Entire Footer Text\u201d option and enter your HTML code.<\/p>\n

Genesis Custom Footer<\/a><\/strong>: This plugin adds a section to the Genesis Theme Settings page where users can modify or replace the default Genesis footer credits. You can use any of the existing Genesis footer shortcodes, your own HTML, or just simple text.<\/p>\n

Genesis Simple Hooks<\/a><\/strong>: This plugin is not designed exclusively for editing footer text. However, since it does allow you to edit the footer, you can use it. If you’re looking for a plugin only for the footer customization purposes, either of the previous two plugins should suffice.<\/p>\n

How to Use Genesis Simple Hooks<\/h3>\n

Go to the Genesis > Simple Hooks page in your WordPress dashboard, scroll down to the \u201cgenesis_footer Hook\u201d section and be sure to check the \u201cUnhook genesis_do_footer() function from this hook\u201d option. There you can enter your HTML code. Unlike the example of Genesis Simple Edits or the custom function listed above, you do not need to include the .site-footer and .wrap divs in the code.<\/p>\n
