 * I need to modify a WP theme footer because it has a misspelling, problem is that
   I don’t know where to edit. The footer.php at the editor only gives me
 * </div><!– end #inner –>
 * <?php genesis_before_footer(); ?>
    <?php genesis_footer(); ?> <?php genesis_after_footer();?
   >
 * </div><!– end #wrap –>
 * <?php wp_footer(); // we need this for plugins ?>
    <?php genesis_after(); ?>
 * </body>
    </html>
 * I’m not sure where the text is located. This is not my site and I was only ask
   to edit so I don’t know how it happened, the owner had someone working on it 
   before but couldn’t reach him.
 * Thank You

 * In the vertical Dashboard nav there is a section called Genesis.
 * Click it and a page of settings opens up. At the bottom of the right column is
   a section for footer content. Try entering it there and see if it applies correctly.

 * Hello, thanks for the response. But when I tried putting text there, it goes 
   below the footer. The text I want to edit is the Copyright part, because it spells
   Copywrite. 🙁

 * Hi, I found the footer.php on that path on one of my installations, but the site
   I want to edit has no “shortcodes” folder, the footer.php is located at the …/
   lib — problem is that it’s not the footer.php I want to edit as it contains this
   same code..
 * </div><!– end #inner –>
 * <?php genesis_before_footer(); ?>
    <?php genesis_footer(); ?> <?php genesis_after_footer();?
   >
 * </div><!– end #wrap –>
 * <?php wp_footer(); // we need this for plugins ?>
    <?php genesis_after(); ?>
 * </body>
    </html>

 * thanks again for the responses, I tried viewing it using Firebug and saw these
 * <div id=”footer”>
    <div class=”wrap”> <p>Copywrite · All Rights Reserved · [Privacy Statement](http://.com/blog/privacy-statement/)·
   [Disclaimer](http://.com/blog/disclaimer/) · [Sitemap](http://.com/blog/sitemap.xml)
   </p> </div><!– end .wrap –> </div><!–end #footer–> </div><!– end #wrap –>
 * I’m still having problems locating where these codes are 🙁
