  Hi @jeseniasgoodiebag

  You can add a copyright notice to your footer by adding this CSS code to your theme:

  .site-info:after {
      content: "Put Your Copyright Text Here";
      display: block;
      color: #ffffff;
      text-align: center;
  }

  The CSS code above should be placed in the CSS editor in your Dashboard.
  To access the CSS editor, first launch your site customizer then click on the CSS tab to access the CSS editor.

  Change the content text (Put Your Copyright Text Here) to your copyright notice text.

  You can also change the color of the text to whatever color you like by changing the color code #ffffff (White).
  The topic in the following link will guide you on how to find the colors codes:

  When you find the color your want just copy its code and paste in the place of #ffffff.

  Let me know if this helps.

  Hi there,

  In order for the CSS code @wpx2 provided to work, you’ll need to upgrade to the Premium or Business plan. The Custom CSS feature is only included in those two plans and you can read more about it here:

  hi

  Another way is to add the Copyright Notice to a text widget at the footer area.

  See @gemmacevans’ suggestion at this ticket:
