Magento: Change/Edit Copyright Info at Footer

Here is a quick tip on editing / changing or removing copyright text information present in the footer of Magento.

You can simply edit or remove it via admin panel.

– Login to admin
– Go to System -> Configuration -> GENERAL -> Design -> Footer
– Change the text of the Copyright field

If you would like to view the code to display copyright text in footer, then it is present in

Base theme: [magento_root]/app/design/frontend/base/default/page/template/html/footer.phtml

Your custom theme: [magento_root]/app/design/frontend/your_package/your_theme/page/template/html/footer.phtml

The following function is used to display copyright info:

<?php echo $this->getCopyright() ?>

If you would like to display copyright info elsewhere (in other sections than footer), then you can use the following code:

<?php echo Mage::getStoreConfig('design/footer/copyright') ?>

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
