The Enfold Theme has a socket area where it is standard to put copyright information as well as credits. There are some occasions when disclaimers and terms make sense to link to in the footer.
The Enfold Theme doesn’t automatically add the year and instead of adding the year manually, this tutorial shows how to add a line of php code to the functions.php file (in a Child Theme) and place the corresponding shortcode in the socket.
Other items covered is how to remove the standard Kriesi credits and add the Shrein Media link with UTM parameters.
