    Hi there,

    You added that notice via a widget in the sidebar on your site.

    Go to Appearance ->Customize. Once the Customizer loads, first click on the ” The idea is. . .” item in the site menu, so the preview on the right shows your site’s sidebar. Then click on Widgets in the menu on the left.

    You might see that list of widgets show your widgets initially, and then go blank. This is a bug – the widget’s are there, but their previews in the widget editor are broken.

    But if you click just underneath the About Me widget you’ll see there, you should see your copyright widget, and will be able to edit it.

    Let us know if you run into any trouble with this.

    P.S., for the widgets that show the option, including your copyright widget, please consider clicking the option to convert it into a block:

    A few months ago the way the WordPress software handles widgets changed, with all widgets now being added as blocks. The old widgets still on your site will still work, but for any new widgets you’ll need to add a block instead. The broken preview issues is also specific to the old legacy widgets, so converting your widgets to blocks will make their previews appear correctly as well.
