I have spent a couple of hours trying to find where to edit the footer of our blog here<\/a>. It still says \u201c2021\u201d in it and I\u2019d like to update it to \u201c2023\u201d.
I have read and followed the instructions on a few websites re: editing WordPress footers. They suggest editing the footer in the theme customize options, the menu customise section etc., but none of those options are available with the theme we\u2019re using which is an old one.
I\u2019ve also edited the footer.php file at \/home\/azam\/public_html\/azam\/wp-content\/themes\/bloggingpro_wr\/footer.php but the footer text there is different to that on the website and editing it doesn\u2019t update the footer on the website.
I\u2019ve searched for all files with the word \u201cfoot\u201d or \u201cfooter\u201d in them, but none of them have the footer text. Same with the other php files in the Theme\u2019s folder at wp-content\/themes\/bloggingpro_wr
Any advice on what I can edit to update the footer text please?
The \u2018Inspect Element\u2019 feature in browsers does give an indication of where the text is in the code, but, for the life of me, I can\u2019t find it!
Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate your support.
Do you have access to the theme files? If so, could you make them available somewhere as a zip file (for example).
Thank you for your response, which is hugely appreciated.
Your suggestion is a good one. But I didn\u2019t want to trouble anyone by having to look through theme files, which might be time consuming for them.
Is there any way somebody smarter than I can pick out where the footer text is located based on inspecting the page\u2019s code? The \u2018Inspect Element\u2019 feature in my browsers gives an indication, but it\u2019s beyond my expertise.

I\u2019d say no. Your theme is made up of a bunch of PHP files, but beyond that it is hard to say how it is structured.
It would seem logical that you should be able to edit your footer in a file called something like \u201cfooter.php\u201d, but without seeing the theme files, it is hard to say.

I don\u2019t mind.
