Wordpress Footer

[PMWD]

Hi

I've downloaded a free template for a site I'm building. It has some copyright details in the footer which is fine except there's a really obvious spelling mistake.

I don't want to remove the credit but would like to correct it, but I can't find where the content is being pulled from? I've gone into the theme folder and located footer.php which just runs wp_footer() but where's the data from that located?

Thanks

wp_footer is a hook so that information may be coming from a range of places depending on the theme design.

You can try searching your entire folder structure using notepad++ for the spelling error string.

Or does the theme have its own admin area? It may have a footer section in there and serving the content up from the DB, which means you wont find the error in any of the site files.

The other common place for people to hook from is from the functions.php file.

And lastly, this looks like quite a nice doc on hooks. http://www.raymondselda.com/understanding-action-hooks-in-wordpress/

It might also be some text in a Text Widget.
