It depends on the template you are using. If you are using the default template such as Beez_20 that comes with Joomla! then you could change the text in the language file en-GB.mod_footer.ini that is located in the directory \language\en-GB. You could change the text after the = sign in the following language strings. Make sure that the text is enclosed within double-quotes.

Code: Select all

MOD_FOOTER_LINE1="Copyright © %date% %sitename%. All Rights Reserved."
MOD_FOOTER_LINE2="<a href="_QQ_"http://www.joomla.org"_QQ_">Joomla!</a> is Free Software released under the <a href="_QQ_"http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html"_QQ_">GNU General Public License.</a>"

Being a core language string, suggest using the language string override technique as documented at http://docs.joomla.org/International_En ... _Overrides.

Note:
It is assumed that you are using the language en-GB. If not, look for the appropriate file in the appropriate directory.

Many templates have it coded into the html itself (a technique I am not a fan of). Edit it by going to Template Manager->[your template]->Edit HTML

Others use a module. Look for a footer module or a custom HTML module in the footer position in your Module Manager.
