  Hi there,
  I am trying to edit the footer.php to add a copywrite message. Under Dashboard|Appearance I cannot see Editor to find the footer. Is it the theme that is restricting this? Thanks, Caroline

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

  Please see: Footer Credit Options
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/footer-credits/

  See here for details on purchasing an annually renewable Premium or Business plan https://wordpress.com/pricing/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing.

  Note 1: If you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

  Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.

  Thank you @timethief – is it not possible to add a copywrite to the footer if I only upgrade to a Personal plan?
  Your site looks very informative, thank you I will spend some time checking it out.

  No, the Personal Plan does not include Advanced Design Customization ie. CSS editing capability. https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Basic Design Customization – Customize your selected theme template with pre-set color schemes, background designs, and font styles.

  Advanced Design Customization – Customize your selected theme template with extended color schemes, background designs, and complete control over website CSS.

  You would need to purchase the Premium or Business upgrade to add text to the footer, but you could add a copyright notice in a text widget if you didn’t want to purchase the upgrade. That is what most of us do: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

  Thanks I added it in as a text widget this morning – it looks a bit funny but I may have to stick with it. I am not sure if I can justify upgrading to Premium yet, probably just Personal for now. Thanks for helping!

  I created a Page here https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/copyright/ and then I placed the copyright link linking to it in a text widget.
