Hi, you have to edit theme folder > footer.php file. Here is the screenshot of what you should edit.
If you are not comfortable with using PHP and WP functions, just delete selected lines and add link in HTML manner.
This is editing the theme directly, correct? When the theme is upgraded it will overwrite this change, correct? If so then this is not the solution I am looking for as I do not have to do it every time there is a theme upgrade.
How do I create theme footer linked text that won’t be overwritten by theme upgrades? Mycss works to remove the forced I wordpress advertising can it be used to put in its place the linjked text as a footer nav bar?
Yes, you have to create child theme and then it will not be overwritten.
And check here how you can unregister widget.
You can create a child theme to hold your changes, and your child theme won’t be affected by an update to the parent theme. Once you’ve created your child theme, you should copy footer.php from the parent theme to the child theme, and then you can edit the child theme’s copy of footer.php.
Ok .. I downloaded, ectracted, then ftp uploaded the extracted folder and activated one-click child theme from plug-ins. went to appearance drop downs and clicked on child theme and found it to be exactly the options I had in the parent Moesia theme. Thus no option to edit the footer.
Am I missing something?
P.S. it overrode the info like header image and such with the child theme info so I deactivated the child theme and reactived the mother theme. http://www.kruzon.com
It wouldn’t be in your theme options. You would use FTP or cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides to copy footer.php from your parent theme’s folder to your child theme’s folder, and then you would edit the child theme’s copy of footer.php, again using FTP or cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides or by using the built-in editor at Dashboard > Appearance > Editor.
Ok found the moesia footer.php and created a file via cpanel in child theme called footer.php and pasted the mowsia code into it. Found the string refencing the Proud wordpress to edit to my linked text but Idon’t know the code to do so.
“><?php printf( __( ‘Proudly powered by %s’, ‘moesia’ ), ‘WordPress’ ); ?>
This is the code from my page

would it be correct if I replaced the existing Moesia Theme footer.php code above with the following between the current existing ?

Does this new footer.php file I created belong in the child tehme root folder or the child theme templates folder?
It belongs in the root folder of your child theme.
I had created a child theme footer.php from the drop down options of the template drop downs in the earlier active child theme which when reactivated was defaulted to archive.php. This drop down has no footer.php option in the template dropdowns.
The cpanel shows the footer.php file I created in the root folder /wp-content/themes/footer-menu/. Does this mean the reactivated child theme is not in the cpanel themes folder? If so how do I get it be there?
The reactivated child theme had me basically customize the reactivated child theme to be same as the parent Moesia theme in all customization options. The child theme works fine just as the parent theme did except for the footer still has no text input. could it be that plug-in mycss edited code eliminates whatever is in the footer not just the “powered by wordpress” text?

further to above.
T thought there should be a folder called choild theme in html/kruzon/wp-content/themes/ but there is not. Only the footer.php file and the usual theme folders.
Just found Moesia has an easy option to input footer text it’s in the customize options under widgets and labeled footer a , b, c. enter code into a and it’s done.
