  2. In our case the text is located in static-footer-text.php in the themeXXXXX/static folder. In case such file is not available in your child theme, you need to copy this file from the CherryFramework/static folder to the themeXXXXX/static folder.

  3. You can go ahead and edit the code in the static-footer-text.php file. It may look like this:

        <?php bloginfo('description'); ?>
        

    Displays the Tagline from the WordPress admin panel (Settings>General). It’s a website description

    <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
