Change the copyright text at the footer

The copyright text contains the copyright sign, the year of production, and the work’s author.

By default, the copyright wording contains the copyright sign, the current year, your business name, and a link to “Powered by Shopify”.

This article will provide step-by-step instructions for editing the copyright wording in the footer area.

How to edit the shop name text in the copyright #

You could wish to alter the wording instead of presenting the shop name by default, or you could change the link in the text. In that case, please follow the instructions below to make the necessary modifications.

Edit the shop’s name text. #

Steps:

• In the Shopify admin, navigate to Online shop > Themes > Actions > Edit code.
• Open the footer.liquid file from the Sections folder.
• To open the code search box, press Ctrl + F (Command + F). Search for shop.name. The copyright code will then appear in the footer area.

<p class="footer__copyright">
  &copy; {{ 'now' | date: '%Y' }}, {{ shop.name | link_to: routes.root_url }}
  {{ powered_by_link }}
</p>

Replace ‘shop.name’ in the code with ‘the text you want to display’.

Example: ‘Mavon theme’

<p class="footer__copyright">
    &copy; {{ 'now' | date: '%Y' }},  <a class="link-underline " href="{{ routes.root_url }}">{{ 'Mavon theme' }}</a>
    {{ powered_by_link }}
</p>

5. Click Save to finish.

And this is what you got.

Change the URL for the shop name text. #

If you wish to provide an alternative link in the text to drive users to your selected webpage:

Replace

href="{{ routes.root_url }}"

with

href="The URL of a page" target="_blank"

Example:

<p class="footer__copyright">
   &copy; {{ 'now' | date: '%Y' }},  <a class="link-underline " href="https://example.com">{{ 'Mavon theme' }}</a>
   {{ powered_by_link }}
</p>

Save the code, then reload your store and check the footer.

The content in the footer is now clickable, linking to your selected page.
