Add copyright notice to footer in Sketch theme
-
Hi there,
Is there any way to add a copyright notice to the sketch theme on the Personal plan or ideally with a paid plug in on the free plan?
I am a student and I am not in a position to commit to $10/ month so hoping there is a workaround on the free or Personal plans!
.
I don’t want to put my site public without a copyright notice so will have to keep my site private and inactive unless I can find an option other than going on the premium plan.This is my site: https://elisamctaggartphotography.wordpress.com
Thanks in advance :)

Hi Elisa,
You will need Custom CSS which is a feature of the WordPress.com Premium and WordPress.com Business plans.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-css/You can only install other plugins from the official WordPress repository if you purchase the Business Plan upgrade.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/The other alternative is to create a self-hosted site in which you can install any plugin you want. The following support document explains the difference: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Hope this helps.

Hi Thabo,
Thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately Premium and Business are not an option just now. I’m so disappointed – all those hours building my website is for nothing :(
Thanks fir the link re self hosting – I’ll check out and see how I go. Do you know if there is a charge for this from WordPress’ end?
Cheers,

The only charges you will incur are for hosting and your domain name. So if you compare, you might find that it’s cheaper to stay with WordPress.com :-)
You will not lose your content. Here is a step-by-step guide for moving to a self-hosted WordPress site: https://move.wordpress.com/

Thanks, thabotswana2013!
Doesn’t seem as bad as I thought. Definitely something to consider. I’ll look at a price comparison.
I have no CSS/ coding experience. Can you get away without it on a self managed site?
Cheers,
Elisa -
Yes, absolutely :-) If you pick a theme that you like, you shouldn’t have to worry about CSS (styling).
However, the more you know, the more you can customize your site. One of the reasons why WordPress is easy to learn is because there is a wealth of information available. Here is a great support page to get you started if you choose to create a self-hosted site: https://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress
All the best!

Thanks, Thabo!
Do you know if the Sketch theme available on WordPress.org or where I can check if it is available?
Ta,

Yes, the Sketch theme is available at WordPress.org.
