How do I delete or modify copyright information?

The copyright information in the footer of your website is important for legal reasons, protecting intellectual property, displaying your brand, and providing contact information. It helps to maintain your website’s legitimacy, build brand image, and gain user trust. This guide will explain how to modify the copyright information for different themes.

Understanding copyright elements

The copyright information in the footer is mainly composed of four parts: The copyright symbol (©), the current year, your store name, and additional copyright text. The modification path varies in different parts.

Changing the store name

1. Update your store name: Log into your Shoplazza admin, click Settings > Store information, find the Store name text box and modify it as needed.

Updating copyright settings

1. Access the themes: From your Shoplazza admin, click Online Store > Themes, choose one theme and click Customize. Here, Nova 2023 is used as a demonstration case.

2. Find the footer section: Enter into the theme editor and click the Footer card to start editing.

3. Enable display copyright: In the Additional footer content section, enable the Show copyright button. Your copyright will appear in the footer section.

4. Edit copyright information: In the text box of Addtional copyright text, enter other additional information according to your needs.

Editing theme code for copyright

When you encounter the following scenarios, you can modify the copyright information by modifying the theme code.

• The specific content you want to change doesn't have a setting in your theme editor.

This method applies to the following themes: Nova 2023, OnePage, Geek, Wind, Flash, Night, Sweet, Morning, Moon, Impress, Bamboo, Christmas.
