Customize the WordPress Genesis Copyright and Credits

To customize the credits on a Genesis WordPress theme, you should use the genesis_footer_creds_text filter.

To allow the year to change automatically each year use the php code to dynamically pull in the year. Change the 2013 to the year the site was built.

//
//* Customize the credits
add_filter( 'genesis_footer_creds_text', 'custom_footer_creds_text' );
function custom_footer_creds_text() {
    echo '<br clear="all" /><div class="creds"><p>';
    echo 'Copyright &copy; ';

    echo (date('Y') == 2013) ? date('Y') : '2013 - '.date('Y');

    echo ' &middot; <a href="https://cullenwebservices.com">Cullen Web Services</a> &middot; Proudly hosted & developed by <a href="https://cullenwebservices.com" style="border-bottom:none"><img src="/images/cws-logo2.png" style="width: 150px; vertical-align:sub; background: #fff;-moz-border-radius: 15px;border-radius: 15px;"/></a>';
//

Add this code to your functions.php file.
