    Its worked!
    It worked! Thank you very much!
    Could you explain to me why it is necessary to use these lines:

    add_action(‘init’,’remove_default_credits’);
    function remove_default_credits(){
    remove_action(‘spacious_footer_copyright’,’spacious_footer_copyright’);
    }

    Without these lines, the original text appears at the top followed by the custom text.

    1. Sangam

      It removes the original copyright text.

    1. Sangam

      If you modify theme directly then changes will reset. If you use plugin or child theme then change will persist.

    1. Sangam Shrestha

      I have not tried it with other themes by Themegrill, it may not work for other themes. You have to make a child theme and have to edit yourself. If you feel any problem regarding this feel free to reply.

    Hey, just want to thank you for the plugin! I tried the child theme route but was in a crunch to launch my client’s site. This really help me to add my own credentials on top of what ThemeGrill has. Really appreciate it!

        Can you navigate me as to where I can edit the footer using your plugin?

          Go to Dashboard >> Appearance >> Customize >> Footer Credit. There you will see a text box to edit the footer credits.
