Hello!

Looking for some help to change the footer text about copyright. I tried in coding but I couldn’t find it. Also there is a hyperlink linked to it that moves you to shopify page. Is it possible to delete this hyperlink?

Kind regards,

Hey @ITInside9 ,

To modify the copyright text in your Shopify store’s footer and remove the hyperlink that leads to the Shopify page, follow these steps:

  1. Access the Footer Settings:

2 Online Store > Themes > Edit Code

Locate the Footer File:

1.In the Edit Code section, look for the Footer.liquid file. This file is typically under the Sections folder. If you can’t find it there, check under Snippets .

  1. Open footer.liquid to find the HTML structure for the footer content.

Find the Copyright Text:

Within the footer file, look for a line of code that resembles the copyright text, which might look something like this:


  © {{ 'now' | date: '%Y' }} {{ shop.name }}. All rights reserved.

You can change the text here as per your preference, such as adding your own copyright statement

Remove the Hyperlink:

The hyperlink that leads to the Shopify page is often embedded in the copyright text, such as:

[Powered by Shopify](https://www.shopify.com)

To remove the hyperlink, simply delete the tag along with its content or replace it with your own text:

Powered by [Your Custom Text]

This should update your footer’s copyright text and remove the unwanted Shopify link. If your theme includes the footer content in a different file or structure, let me know, and I can guide you further.

@ITInside9 ,

It looks like there are two different copyright texts in your footer, one controlled by the “Show copyright” toggle and another that’s hard-coded in the theme files.

Since you’ve checked both the footer.liquid file and the theme.css.liquid**.** without success, the hard-coded text may be located in a different location. Here are some places you can try checking:

  1. Footer Section Liquid File:

-In the theme editor under Sections, look for a file named footer.liquid or footer-custom.liquid (if it exists). Sometimes themes split footer sections across multiple files, and you may have a secondary file specifically for legal information.

  1. Theme Language Files:

-Sometimes, copyright text is stored in the language files, especially if it’s translated.

-Go to Online Store > Themes > Edit languages.

-In the search bar, type “copyright” and check if any fields show up where the text is being stored.

  1. Settings Schema in the Footer Section:

The code snippet you found in the schema suggests that it pulls a value for Show_copyright. If the default text is showing up when the checkbox is disabled, the default content might be in the settings schema itself or as a fallback text in the main footer.liquid or theme.liquid .

  1. Check for Snippets:

Some themes include snippets that render in the footer. Check the Snippets folder for files named something like footer-copyright.liquid or legal.liquid.

If you still can’t locate it, please let me know. I’d be happy to guide you on how to potentially override the footer section using CSS or JavaScript as a workaround if direct editing isn’t possible. Feel free to reach out via email as well so we can discuss this further. Thanks!

@ITInside9 ,

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you found it in the ‘Edit Language’ section! :blush: That’s a common spot for themes to store text like copyright notices and other site-wide messages.
