Sounds like you’ll need to set up a Child Theme first: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
I would like to remove the Powered by WordPress and add a name and copyright line in the footer without setting up a Child Theme. Usually I can just go under editor and do it in footer php. This is not working for me. Thank you!

Hi, changing theme files is not recommended, because all changes will be lost after update. Footer text hooked to the footer in sgwindow_site_info hook, so you can remove/change that hook from child theme or any plugin. Also you can set theme mod ‘footer_text’ or install theme plugin with that option.
Dear Cat_456,
Is it possible To set theme mod ‘footer_text’ without Child Theme?
Thank you,
Tatyanik777
Tatyanik777, this option exists in the SG Pro plugin or you can add/remove php code with set theme mod function, see – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/set_theme_mod.
<?php set_theme_mod( 'footer_text', 'blah blah' ); ?>
Hello dear Cats_456,
Thank you for your invaluable help!
Can I get SG Pro? I was trying, with no success.
Thank you,
Tatyanik777
Tatyanik777, yes, you can. What do you mean by ‘no success’?
Hello dear Cats_456,
OK! I got it! and it is PRO!
Thank you, PRO!
