    Hi there,

    The Cubic theme doesn’t have a built-in footer area or other way to add copyright text there. You can use Custom CSS to make changes like this, but I do want to warn you that sometimes adding text with CSS can be a bit tricky. You might need to adjust the CSS in the future, for example if the theme’s footer style changes, so I’m going to explain how I came up with the change in case you need to play with it in the future. :)

    I used the method described in our guide to How to Find Your Theme’s CSS to find what CSS to change here. In this case, the footer text in your theme uses this CSS property:

    .site-info

    You can add more text after that with CSS like this:

    .site-info:after {
  content: " Copyright Text";
}

    You can replace the text between the quotation marks with the actual copyright text you want to add there.

    To add that CSS to your site, you can head to your site’s Customizer and paste it into the CSS section there.

    You can also get more tips for customizing your theme with CSS in our CSS Basics guide and from expert volunteers in the CSS Customization forum.

    Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that!

    Ok so I’ve found how to get the correct piece of code but I just don’t know how to complete the step to add it to the Customiser – CSS to get it to show up on the site. Help please!

    Hi there!

    To add the code to your site, you can open your Customizer at this link:

    https://wordpress.com/customize/eatplaylovemelbourne.wordpress.com

    Once the Customizer is open, you can click on “CSS” in the customizer’s sidebar to open the CSS section. In that section, you’ll see a large text box that says “Welcome to Custom CSS!” — that’s where you can paste the code you want to add to your site.

    Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
