You shouldn’t edit footer.php to change the footer. Here’s what you’re looking for: Altering/adding footer credits.
Thank you for the information . My child theme doesn’t have a functions.php so I made an html file in dreamweaver. I do not know how to get it upload correctly to my blueHost c-panel-file manager. I uploaded it to the customizr-child-01 theme file folder. It somehow lands on the public view – This code shows up on top of my dashboard:
<?php
/* custom PHP functions below this line */
?>
please see link below:
dedfish,
It sounds like you created and html file. Your functions.php file must be saved as a .php file.
