Hi @A2L1
Are you talking about the “All right reserved” part? If so, please follow the instructions below
- From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
- Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “…” and then “Edit default theme content”.
- In the search bar, find the “Powered by Shopify”, you then change the text
If you are talking about the whole “@2023…”, you need to the edit the code depending on your theme

Hi, @Made4uo-Ribe , thank you for this, what code do I replace this with? Am I able to replace this with what I want to show on the website?
Oh. Sorry I didn’t get what you want to do? Depending on what you want to show, you need to have it html format if you are replacing it to something other than a text
You can find an example is this thread.
