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.
