  Can I put a copyright statement at the bottom of a theme that is not an upgrade theme? I have tried editing the html in the footer but cannot get it to stay. Is there a way to do so? Thank you

  Hi Amy,

  You’d need the CSS upgrade to add text to the footer of your theme:
  Custom Design

  If you don’t want to purchase the upgrade, you could put a copyright statement in a Text widget at the bottom of your sidebar. You could also see if there’s a theme you like just as well that has footer widget areas, and then you could use a Text widget in your footer. Many themes do. Here are a few examples:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/reddle/
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyeleven/
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/chateau/
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/origin/

  Thanks for you suggestions. I definitely want to keep this theme, but it really is infuriating that without an upgrade, I can’t change the footer. I’ll work around it. Thanks for your response, you’ve been quite helpful. Have a good one. :-)
