How To Customize Genesis Footer Credits

Most professional bloggers and developers are using Genesis Framework for their WordPress blog. Because it is SEO friendly, faster and secure to build an awesome website. Recently, one of our users got purchased Genesis Framework and asked how to customize Genesis footer credits link. In this post, we will show you the simple code to customize it!

How To Customize Genesis Footer Credits

By default, Genesis will pull the year, current child theme link, Genesis Framework link and WordPress meta on the footer.

Some folks need to change it and add a custom one. For changing the default footer link, you need to log in to the blog, go to the theme editor.

Open the functions file.

Ass the below code on it and simply update the file.

 add_filter('genesis_footer_creds_text', 'sp_footer_creds_filter');
function sp_footer_creds_filter( $creds ) {
	$creds = '© 2023 &middot; <a href="http://mydomain.com">Website Name</a> &middot; Built on the <a href="http://www.studiopress.com/themes/genesis" title="Genesis Framework">Genesis Framework</a>';
	return $creds;
} 

Customize Genesis Footer Credits

You may want to change the links and anchor text in the code to fit your own. Now, check your website from the front end.

It’s working fine now!

Now Working?

Make sure that you have added this code on the functions file. Adding it to any other PHP file will break your website. If you are not seeing the result, it might be an issue with your caching system. Try to clear your browser cache and WordPress cache.

Or, you can try visiting your website using an incognito window.
