In reply to: [Able] How do I change the text in my footer?It doesn’t work. Is there something else I need to add to it? I want my footer to say “Copyright [copyright symbol] 2012-2013 Christine Rice, Author”.

In reply to: [Able] How do I change the text in my footer?Editing the footer in the CSS Stylesheet Editor with Paul’s code worked perfectly. Thank you, Paul!
Thank you, Kathryn, for spending so much time answering my questions and helping me resolve my footer issue!
Thanks, WPyogi, for the information you provided to get me started on fixing my footer issue.
I have one last question, in case anyone knows the answer: Is there a way to add the copyright symbol to my footer?
Thank you!

In reply to: [Able] How do I change the text in my footer?I do not need to make any major changes to my theme, just the footer and possibly minor tweaks, but probably just the footer, because that is the only thing that stuck out to me as something I definitely want to change. I think I will try the “edit CSS” under Jetpack, which I just activated. Do I copy the code that Paul put above and add it to my CSS Stylesheet Editor? Or do I copy the information from my theme’s footer.php file into the CSS Stylesheet Editor, deleting the lines you said and putting the custom line in it’s place?
I do not have WAMP or MAMP, so does that mean I have a local server or not? If not, what type of server would it be?
Thanks for taking the time to help me with my issue 🙂

In reply to: [Able] How do I change the text in my footer?I previewed my child theme on the “themes” page of my WordPress.org dashboard under “appearance”. I clicked on “live preview.”
I have only one file in my child theme folder – style.css – which reads:
/*
Theme Name: Able-Child
Description: Able Child Theme
Author: Christine Rice
Author URI: http://christinerice-author.com
Template: able
Version: 1.0.0
*/@import url(“../able/style.css”);
/* =Theme customization starts here
————————————————————– */I don’t know what you mean by a local server.
I’m assuming I copy the footer.php file – from my parent theme folder – into my child theme folder, then delete the lines you mentioned and add the custom line in its place?
I’m nervous about making mistakes with my themes’ files, because I’m new to this, but I’ll get use to it 🙂

In reply to: [Able] How do I change the text in my footer?I created the child theme, but I haven’t activated it. When I previewed it, I noticed immediately that my header and background images were gone, so I’m wondering if anything else will disappear when/if I activate the child theme?
My theme does not have a file called colophon.php. It has a footer.php file though. I can easily delete lines, but my main concern right now is that I won’t know what code to enter to create the text that I want in the footer. How do I obtain this information? All I want is for the footer to say “Copyright 2012-2013 Christine Rice, Author” (with the copyright symbol), instead of “Proudly powered by WordPress | Theme: Able by Automattic”.

In reply to: [Able] How do I change the text in my footer?Okay. I guess I’ll have to try the child theme. I’m a bit nervous about using CSS. I like HTML because it’s more visual, whereas CSS is all code and a bit intimidating. I haven’t learned the language yet, but it’s something on my to-do list.
It’ll be great if you’re able to find information about the footer file.
Thanks!
