Video: How to change footer text in wordpress
Many wordpress users don’t want to do advanced changes, they simply want to do the necessary changes so that their blog or website will be a little personalized.
This way, they spend very short time on building the layout and they focus all time on content.
What are the first things you would like to change to your blog ? The header image and footer text. Today i will show a video on how to change the footer text.
WordPress have a built in file editor at Appearance -> Editor. Click on it and then select footer.php . Look for the text you want to change and change it. If you brought a new theme you can change the credit, but if you got a free theme it would be better for the community to leave it as it is. If the theme developers won’t get at least a link probably they will stop developing themes and we will have to pay for the paid ones.

I notice that now more and more bloggers put a lot of information in the footer. Seems like footer is becoming more important now.

Indeed, the footer can be seen as a good navigation. It is working best for blogs, news or informational websites, as they have the main menu in the header with some links, then the content and other links to content like recent posts, social widgets, commentators, sponsoder stuff, etc and the footer becomes a good place where people can get directions, mostly because they see the footer at the end of every article. So the visitors come, they read the article if they like they are likely to check out more from the same blog.
