Add Geneis Simple Edits as a plugin. There is a line in that admin panel which allows you to insert whatever footer message you wish. It’s a must have. You’ll be glad you did.
If you prefer to simply change your theme .php file you can accomplish the same thing.
<?php
//* Do NOT include the opening php tag shown above. Copy the code shown below.
//* Customize the entire footer
remove_action( ‘genesis_footer’, ‘genesis_do_footer’ );
add_action( ‘genesis_footer’, ‘sp_custom_footer’ );
function sp_custom_footer() {
?>
