    I have searched the forums on how to change the footer credit to just the year and my site name. I came up with having to create a child theme and entering code into it. I have done that and the code looks like this

    /*
 Theme Name:   attitude child theme
 Theme URI:    http://example.com/twenty-fourteen-child/
 Description:  attitude
 Author:       John Doe
 Author URI:   http://example.com
 Template:     attitude
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
 Text Domain:  attitude
*/

<?php

// Remove old copyright text
add_action( 'init' , 'mh_remove_copy' , 15 );
function mh_remove_copy() {
        remove_action( 'attitude_footer', 'attitude_footer_info', 30 );
}

// Add my own copyright text
add_action( 'attitude_footer' , 'mh_footer_info' , 30 );
function mh_footer_info() {
   $output = '<div class="copyright">'.'Copyright © [the-year] [site-link]  '.'</div><!-- .copyright -->';
   echo do_shortcode( $output );
}
@import url("../attitude/style.css");

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

    It is not working. I activated the child theme and it changed my settings bac to default attitude theme but the footer is the same. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hey there.

    When you activate the child theme, it is its own theme that’s why you see the default.

    This part:

    /*
 Theme Name:   attitude child theme
 Theme URI:    http://example.com/twenty-fourteen-child/
 Description:  attitude
 Author:       John Doe
 Author URI:   http://example.com
 Template:     attitude
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
 Text Domain:  attitude
*/

    Goes into a css file.

    But the next part you have is PHP:

    <?php

// Remove old copyright text
add_action( 'init' , 'mh_remove_copy' , 15 );
function mh_remove_copy() {
        remove_action( 'attitude_footer', 'attitude_footer_info', 30 );
}

// Add my own copyright text
add_action( 'attitude_footer' , 'mh_footer_info' , 30 );
function mh_footer_info() {
   $output = '<div class="copyright">'.'Copyright © [the-year] [site-link]  '.'</div><!-- .copyright -->';
   echo do_shortcode( $output );
}

    That’s PHP, well that goes into a PHP file.

    You can create a functions.php file in the child and include it there. That said, if it’s just a little copyright it might be just as efficient to edit the footer.php in the child theme.

    This bit remains in the CSS file:

    @import url("../attitude/style.css");

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

    Take care.

    Thanks a lot Timothy!

    I went and created two files and it now works after having edited them for a bit.
