I’ve downloaded the theme you’re using and taken a look.
The code you’ve pasted has an action hook which is used to display the footer content.
Add the following to your functions.php
function tiffin_footer_content( $text ) {
return 'Enter your footer text here...';
}
add_filter( 'expound_credits_text', 'tiffin_footer_content' );
@tiffinpa – please post in the Expound Theme’s own forum:

Also, do not make any modifications to theme files – as they will be lost when the theme is updated. You should be using child theme if you want to change theme files –
