 * I am not a coder, so what is the actual code snippet to add the footer_text()
   to the footer.php file?
 * Thanks!

 * You need to edit the `footer.php` file from your current theme. Add this code
   where you would like the footer text to appear:
 * `<?php footer_text(); ?>`
 * Let me know if you need more help!

 * I added the code <?php footer_text(); ?> in my footer.php file, it works just
   fine. Thank you !!

 * Thanks. I had the same question. For those of us who aren’t familiar with php,
   this bit of code is essential. You should add it to your instruction.
    Thanks
   for a great plugin.

 * [@leeryder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leeryder/) It made sense from
   my standpoint to only include the template tag, but I guess it would be easier
   for most users to have a complete snippet they can just copy and paste.
 * I’ll update the readme with the next version.
