Confused while editing footer.php

(@mnabeel87)

I am currently working on the site and the theme I’m using is Interface http://themehorse.com/preview/interface/ when I went to edit the footer via footer.php, I saw that code was bit different that regular and didnt know how to delete the certain part of footer. That is what I see

<?php
/**
 * Displays the footer section of the theme.
 *
 * @package 		Theme Horse
 * @subpackage 		Interface
 * @since 			Interface 1.0
 */
?>
</div>
<!-- .container -->
</div>
<!-- #main -->

<?php
		/**
		 * interface_business_template_ourclients hook
		 *
		 * HOOKED_FUNCTION_NAME PRIORITY
		 *
		 * interface_display_business_template_ourclients 10
		 */

			if( is_page_template( 'page-templates/page-template-business.php' ) ) {
				do_action( 'interface_business_template_ourclients' );
			}

	?>
<?php
	      /**
	       * interface_after_main hook
	       */
	      do_action( 'interface_after_main' );
	   ?>
<?php
	   	/**
	   	 * interface_before_footer hook
	   	 */
	   	do_action( 'interface_before_footer' );
	   ?>

<footer id="colophon" class="clearfix">
  <?php
		      /**
		       * interface_footer hook
				 *
				 * HOOKED_FUNCTION_NAME PRIORITY
				 *
				 * interface_footer_widget_area 5
				 * interface_footer_infoblog 10
				 * interface_footer_div_close 15
				 * interface_open_sitegenerator_div 20
				 * interface_socialnetworks 25
				 * interface_footer_info 30
				 * interface_close_sitegenerator_div 35
				 * interface_backtotop_html 40
		       */
		      do_action( 'interface_footer' );
		   ?>
</footer>
<?php
	   	/**
	   	 * interface_after_footer hook
	   	 */
	   	do_action( 'interface_after_footer' );
	   ?>
</div>
<!-- .wrapper -->

<?php
		/**
		 * interface_after hook
		 */
		do_action( 'interface_after' );
	?>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body></html>

How am I suppose to edit this.
I want to remove part of the footer.
Currently it says:
Copyright © 2015 MyCompanyName | Theme by: Theme Horse | Powered by: WordPress

I want it so it says:
Copyright © 2015 MyCompanyName

Thanks for your help

It looks like the theme is adding content with custom functions and hooks. You should be able to remove the default content and then add your own through a custom function.

From a custom plugin (try Pluginception), try the following code:

/**
 * remove function to show the footer info, copyright information
 */
remove_action( 'interface_footer', 'interface_footer_info', 31 );

/**
 * add CUSTOM function to show the footer info, copyright information
 */
function sd_interface_footer_info() {
   $output = '<div class="copyright">'.__( 'Copyright &copy;', 'interface' ).' '.interface_the_year().' '.interface_site_link().'</div><!-- .copyright -->';
   echo $output;
}
add_action( 'interface_footer', 'sd_interface_footer_info', 32 );

Actually, use this instead… a slight adjustment to make sure the original footer content is removed properly:

/**
 * remove function to show the footer info, copyright information
 */
function sd_remove_interface_footer_info() {
	remove_action( 'interface_footer', 'interface_footer_info', 30 );
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'sd_remove_interface_footer_info' );

/**
 * add CUSTOM function to show the footer info, copyright information
 */
function sd_interface_footer_info() {
   $output = '<div class="copyright">'.__( 'Copyright &copy;', 'interface' ).' '.interface_the_year().' '.interface_site_link().'</div><!-- .copyright -->';
   echo $output;
}
add_action( 'interface_footer', 'sd_interface_footer_info', 30 );
