  Hi there,

  To change your site’s footer credit you need to go to My Site(s) → Select the site you want to edit → Design → Customize → Site Identity. In the Site Identity section, look for the Footer Credit menu. Choose the option you would like to use — the Customizer will let you preview how each one looks on your site — and select Save & Publish to make the update.

  To read more about footer credit options you can refer here: https://wordpress.com/support/footer-credits/

  Hope this helps!

  Thanks!

  Hi!

  I need to add to the credit. I already have the WordPress credit on my footer but need to add another credit too.
  For this I believe I need an CSS code?

  Thanks for the help!

  Hi,

  With Customizer → Site Identity → Footer Credit you can only change the credits to one of the options or hide the credits.

  The CSS can add some content to an existing page element, but I cannot tell which theme is active on your site to provide a more precise answer about that.
  Could you please share the theme name, so I can provide you with CSS code to add your custom credit text?

  Thank you.

  Sure thing! :)

  Please add the following CSS code to Customizer → Additional CSS:

  
  /* Luxury theme custom additiona footer credit text */
  .footer-information [data-type=footer-credit]:after {
  	content: "My credit info text";
  	display: inline-block;
  	padding-left: 10px;
  	border-left:1px solid;
  	margin-left: 10px;
  }
  

  Of course, change the “My credit info text” with your text (and keep the double quotes).

  Cheers!

  Thanks for the help!

  I managed to add the footer credit and it shows when I’m viewing the pages from the Customizer but not after I have saved the changes and closed the Customizer.

  Can you help me with this?

  Thank you!

  Hi,

  yes, sorry, the CSS code provided above is only capable to show additional information on Customizer, because of Customizer attribute [data-type]. Correct CSS is bellow (please replace the old CSS code with this one ):

  
  /* Luxury theme custom additional footer credit text */
  .footer-information .content a:after {
  	content: "My credit info text";
  	display: inline-block;
  	padding-left: 10px;
  	border-left:1px solid;
  	margin-left: 10px;
  }
  

  Cheers
