Genesis Simple Edits Doesn't Let Me Edit Footer

[seoskyrocket]

I'm using Cafe Pro and I can't get the Genesis Simple Edits plugin to let me change the footer text. Would you guys mind helping? Thanks in advance!

You could deactivate the plugin and use code http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/footer/

Won't that be overwritten every time the child theme updates? If so, I'd rather not go that direction. Is there another option to get the plugin to work?

[Brad Dalton]

Thats the best solution. Child themes contain custom functionality and style and aren't updated.

I placed the following code at the end of function.php and it broke the site (white screen). What did I do wrong?

<?php
//* Do NOT include the opening php tag

//* Customize the credits
add_filter( 'genesis_footer_creds_text', 'sp_footer_creds_text' );
function sp_footer_creds_text() {
echo '<div class="creds"><p>';
echo 'Copyright © ';
echo date('Y');
echo ' · The Stand Hot Dogs · Website by SEO Skyrocket';
echo '</p></div>';
}

Do NOT include the opening php tag

Also, copy the code from the view raw link in the Gist and paste it at the end of the file using a code editor.
