Footer overwritten in code

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello, I was wondering if you could give me some help on this I’ve paid a company to do build and look after my website but they haven’t maintained it for months and we’ve cancelled the contract,
    However the footer needs updating and it needs their company name removed,
    But in the settings the direct edits for the footer have all been disabled and it seems to be getting the footer through a strange series of overwriting CSS rules and PHP scripts which overwrite it?

    I’ve gone through and removed the text and links from the code in 6 of 7 separate code files but I can’t seem to find how it’s overriding everything else?

    Many thanks in advance
