    Hi I'm trying to customise my footer credits. I've got this php to work so far but would like to add at the end powered by wordpress and login in link. Please can someone tell me what I need to add as when I try adding code to this code it comes up with an error.

    /** Customize the credits */
    add_filter( 'genesis_footer_creds_text', 'custom_footer_creds_text' );
    function custom_footer_creds_text() {
    echo '<div class="creds"><p>';
    echo 'Copyright &copy; ';
    echo date('Y');
    echo ' &middot; <a href="http://21ststreetdesigns.com">21ststreetdesigns.com</a> &middot; Built on the <a href="http://www.studiopress.com/themes/genesis" title="Genesis Framework">Genesis Framework</a>';
    echo '</p></div>';
    }

    Hi,

    Why do I have 2 footer credits showing?

    I am learning to build Genesis child themes from scratch without using the Genesis Sample theme as a starting point. I used the following code and don't understand why the 2nd footer credit shows. The snippet of code below should remove the default footer credit and replace it with the one which starts with Billys Blog. I used the Genesis Hook Guide plugin to confirm that I am using the correct Hook and (genesis_footer) at which to remove the function and I looked in the footer.php file inside the structure folder inside lib folder to confirm I am using the correct function (genesis_do_footer).

    //* Customize the entire footer
    remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
    add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'sp_custom_footer' );
    function sp_custom_footer() {
    ?>

    Found a way to hide the original credit footer, add this line of code at custom.css

    /* Hide the extra credit at footer*/
    .site-footer .creds {
    display: none;
    }

    it should do the tricks. = )
