CSS Footer and Basic Theme Customization Unresponsive
-
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to attempt to help.
I think I may be cursed. I’m in the trial period for Premium and have been trying to customize my site. One thing I’ve been wanting to do is use the CSS option to add info to my footer as other posters have successfully done, but after adding several different CSS codes I’ve found in a few random posts I just can’t get it to work. I copy and paste the code exactly as it is provided in the CSS Customizer, save, update, refresh, but the new info never appears. Did I do something wrong in a past life? LOL.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

hi there,
What is code that you are trying to add? Please share the code and we can look into it and see if there are any mistakes in the code. -
Well, we’re in a pickle there. The CSS editor won’t allow me to copy the code to paste it here. I snapped a screenshot to use instead, but now realize I can’t post it here. Suffice to say, there were 3 different posts I had stumbled across that I can’t seem to quickly find now that I need them, and the CSS codes provided had worked and were verified on their site’s footers. None of the three have worked for me, unfortunately. Anyway, lemme see if I can track down the posts I’d found. I wish there was a view history somewhere to make it faster… brb

.footer-content:before {
content: “© 2011 – 2015 Ms. Elena Levon Traveling. All Rights Reserved.”;
color: #000;
}Okay, I found one. It’s in this post: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/change-footer-name-in-css-leaving-the-original-link-in-tact?replies=16
It’s the first one I tried to use, modifying the content, of course, to reflect my own site.

That code is specific to the manifest theme. It might not work with the Creative Portfolio theme. CSS code sometime is theme specific. I am unable to try the Creative Portfolio theme to help you better. I will let a CSS expert answer the css customisation part.
If you are trying to add the copyright to your site in the black bar at the bottom, you can add that by creating a secondary menu and display the menu at the footer, like in the theme’s demo page.
Just create a new menu, add a Link menu with the title of copyright and leave the link field empty. Apply the new menu as the secondary menu.

Hey, that’s worth a try. Thanks for the assistance, and I’ll see if the menu idea will work until a CSS expert can direct me on the specific theme code. Much appreciated!

Hi there,
You can try the following code in the CSS tab of your site customizer:
.site-info:before {
content: “© 2015 Alumni Music / Kevin Race. All Rights Reserved.”;
}That said, I actually prefer the look of adding it to a custom menu, as you have done currently (props @simplysaru!) as the above CSS adds the copyright on the left, which to me feels less balanced.
But give it a try! Maybe you will prefer it on the left, so you can remove it from your footer menu.
Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

You know, after seeing it both ways I have to agree, the menu item addition does keep things more balanced. I may just stick with that, but I appreciate the code help in case I decide to use it.
Thank you both so much for your help!!
