  Hi,

  I would like to add the copyright symbol in the footer of my blog right where it says Blog at wordpress.com. Is it possible to do that?

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It is possible using Customize Upgrade and then add it by making changes in CSS.

  I see you have already copyright symbol and message written in the footer widget (I would’ve recommend you the same), and it does the job well.

  Hi @ariannasrandomthoughts, you can add before the existing footer credits with the following. I included a color declaration and set it to red just so that you could easily see it. You can edit the color, and the content text, as you desire. I included the two colons just to give some sense of separation from the existing footer credits. You can keep that, or add a different symbol, or no symbols at all.

  #site-generator p:before {
  Content: "Copyright Your Name. All Rights Reserved. :: ";
  color: #CC0000;
  }

  @forestofpeace, what theme are you using. If you are using a different theme than @ariannasrandomthoughts then there is probably a different selector.

  @forestofpeace, for Sight, use the following:

  .site-info:before {
  color: #CC0000;
  content: "Copyright Forest of Peace. All Rights Reserved. :: ";
  }

  No, you can remove those. I usually just add something like that to give some separation between the standard footer and the copyright text.

  Thanks, that’s mean overwrite without the “::”, right.

  Yes, just remove those from the content declaration.

  How do you also include a clickable link to the text that is added to the footer?

  @kelseycarlson, you cannot add a link with CSS only, however, sometimes what people do is create a link elsewhere and then move it to the footer area using CSS. Whether or not you can do that will depend on your theme.

  Can you please start a new help request and make sure to include a note about which theme you are using and exactly what you’re trying to add?
