Try wp-admin -> ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Editor’, select ‘Theme Footer' on the right, and edit the info there. Make a backup of the changes, though, as they will be lost if you later update the theme. You might want to consider adding a CC-BY-SA license while you’re there. ;-)

For screenshots of the process see e.g.:

Thanks,

I'm afraid I can't figure out how to easily remove the copyright notice. I'll try to figure it out but it's not high up on my priority list. If anybody else who is familiar with Wordpress knows how to remove it, please let me know.

Hi Fabian. I've never noticed that copyright tag before. It seems to come as standard in Wordpress pages and I will see if there is a way to remove it.

Hi all,

Thanks for the Wikimedia UK Spring newsletter.

Sorry if I missed any previous discussion about the assertion of copyright on the Wikimedia UK blog, but I am afraid I have become a bit of a copyright geek over past fifteen years - a bye-product of being a Wikimedian I suppose.

I have just posted a comment with the query:

"Does the copyright tag at the bottom of this page mean that I am assigning copyright of this comment to Wikimedia UK?"

Please note if the answer is yes, I am reproducing my comment here under a fair-use rationale.

all the best,

Leutha
