Hello there,
When my client's website was built, using Scribble theme, the developer customized the footer credits. I've found a type-o in the copyright and need to fix it. However, I've looked in what I think are all the usual places the code would be and I can't find it anywhere! Maybe someone can give me suggestions of where to look? The developer is not responding. Here's what I've checked already:
I checked functions.php, in Scribble, thinking that was the logical place it would be. No luck.
I checked various other files as well, in both the Scribble theme (style.css, home. php) and Genesis (footer.php, functions.php, page.php). Most of these didn't make sense to me, but clearly I was pulling at straws.
I checked the Site Title in WordPress settings (thinking it might be pulling that in) but that doesn't match the copyright. That's not it.
The site is: http://www.ghosttweeting.com
What am I missing? Thanks, in advance, to anyone who might have an answer.

Check the theme functions file under Appearance > Editor or under the Genesis menu for Genesis Simple Edits.
Not sure if you found the answer, but I was looking also and found it under 'WP Edit', a plugin I had previously downloaded. There you can enter the script data for a customized footer. Hope this helps!
My apologies, it was actually under 'Genesis' 'Theme Settings', with the customized footer box at the very bottom.
Thank you for your suggestion. I did have Genesis Simple Edits enabled at one point, and had put custom footer credits in there. However, those settings did not match what was appearing in the footer. When I disabled Simple Edits, the incorrect custom footer credits remained. So, whatever custom footer the developer coded into the theme was overriding what I'd had in Simple Edits. I'm afraid if I install WP Edit and create a custom footer, the same thing will happen. What the developer coded will override it.
I just checked under Genesis Theme Settings and didn't see any code in the footer script section.
This is what i would use http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/footer#credits
Thanks Brad. Yes, I've seen that page. Functions.php was the first file I thought to look at too. The developer's custom code is not there. I wonder if I put custom code in Functions, if it would override whatever he did, wherever he did it. Maybe I'll try that and see. I'm kind of at my wits end here. Thanks again.
