Regularly when setting up a new site, I change the footer information. I have to look up in my files every time exactly what I like it to say and how it works.
I’m posting it here for myself and for any of you who also wonder about this.
I generally forget to go change the copyright dates on all my client sites, so including this little bit of php in the footer will keep all those dates accurate.
<p style="text-align:left">Copyright 2008 - <?php echo date('Y'); ?>, by whoever-this-should-be. All Rights Reserved. <br />
Site designed and managed by <a href="http://www.yourwebsitehere.com">your-name-here</a></p>
I use my own name as the designer/manager because I find that people might not like the bottom of the page implying that they have or had a broken website.
Sometimes I also add a link to the site admin because it helps clients who can’t remember how to get into the admin panel.
I’ve found that adding the following right before the </p> tag, I get a nifty link to the site admin page.
<a href="<?php $url = admin_url(); echo admin_url(); ?>">Site Admin</a>
