How to restore Footer to Sixteen Nine Pro Theme

[beoleary1]

I've been trying to modify my footer and installed Genesis Simple Edits. Somewhere along in this process, I did something to my footer that even deactivating Simple Edits, all that now shows in my footer is "Powered By Genesis."

Any ideas?

That's what the demo is supposed to say. Look at the image on this page: http://my.studiopress.com/themes/sixteen-nine/

Do you want it to say something else?

Thank you, you are correct. I could have sworn it used to have the copyright.

I want to create a link to page with my Privacy Policy and post a copyright. I have been bouncing around on this forum trying to figure this one out. I installed Genesis Simple Edits but unsure how to create these two elements.

If you are comfortable working in the functions file, you can find snippets to modify the footer http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/footer/#credits

Not very comfortable, but simple edits does not allow me to enter a custom link. I am not sure where in the functions file I insert this code? Do I enter all of the code shown below?

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

//* Change the footer text
add_filter('genesis_footer_creds_text', 'sp_footer_creds_filter');
function sp_footer_creds_filter( $creds ) {
$creds = '[footer_copyright] · Privacy Policy · ';
return $creds;
}

If you just want to put a link to your Privacy Policy in the footer you can do it directly in the functions file. Look around line 128 where you will see:

//* Customize the footer
add_filter( 'genesis_footer_output', 'sixteen_nine_custom_footer' );
function sixteen_nine_custom_footer( $output ) {

	$output = sprintf( '<p>%s<a href="http://www.studiopress.com/">%s</a></p>',  __( 'Powered by ', 'sixteen-nine' ), __( 'Genesis', 'sixteen-nine' ) );
	return $output;

}

Remove it and replace it with your link to your privacy policy. Starting from the line //* Change the footer text etc. If you are worried about removing it, copy it to a text file first, so you can paste it back in if your new footer does not work the way you want it.

This is the second time I totally nuked my site, I had to restore from a back up. Do I totally eliminate the entire code below?

//* Customize the footer
add_filter( 'genesis_footer_output', 'sixteen_nine_custom_footer' );
function sixteen_nine_custom_footer( $output ) {

$output = sprintf( '<p>%s%s</p>', __( 'Powered by ', 'sixteen-nine' ), __( 'Genesis', 'sixteen-nine' ) );
return $output;

}

What do you want the footer to say? I can tell you how to do something like this

Apparently the code snippets do not work on this site, you will have to modify what is already there.

I am looking for my footer to say:

COPYRIGHT 2013 PRIVACY POLICY

I'd like to get rid of everything else.
