Reply To: How To Edit The Footer & Where Is The tag?

I’m used to just editing the html files in a Joomla installation so this is all new to me. Is it not possible to just edit the text in the footer from somewhere in functions.php like you can in Joomla html?

I know it says ‘Unless otherwise indicated, the code snippets you see below should be placed into your theme’s functions.php file.’ But where in the functions.php file? And does that mean I need to recode the footer section to overwrite what is already there, instead of just finding the existing footer code and adjusting the text I want to change in it?
