  2. Hover over (but don’t click) the InfiniBuilder button at the top of your website, then select the Footer option to edit the footer.
  3. Click the wrench icon on the section that contains your copyright information.
  4. Simply type in the following shortcode wherever you want the current year to appear.

To Edit Your Copyright Section the Customize Feature

If your website doesn’t give you the option to edit your header and footer, don’t worry we’ve got you covered. The process is almost exactly the same.

  1. Of course, make sure you’re logged in to your website, then either:
    • navigate to any page on the frontend and click on the Customize button
    • or go to Appearance then Customize in the backend.
  2. Once in Customize, click on Footer, then Footer Layout.
  3. Now just type in the following shortcode in the dialog box, wherever you want the current year to appear.
