You may use snippet below to customize the credit text in the site footer of your Genesis theme. Code should be placed into your theme’s functions.php file.
To change the footer text we need to register a function to a specific filter action. That enables us to modify variable, in this case credits text, at runtime.
We do that by using filter hook called ‘genesis_footer_creds_text’, and it’s name is the first parameter we will pass to add_filter. Second parameter is the name of the function which will modify credit’s text and return a new value.
add_filter('genesis_footer_creds_text', 'mtly_modify_footer_credits');
function mtly_modify_footer_credits( $creds ) {
$creds = '© 2025 · My Custom Link · We built this site on the Genesis Framework';
return $creds;
}
