[Support request] How to get copyright text back in footer with CSS coding

[ssc2019]

Hi there

I recently entered this CSS code to get rid of the copyright in the footer. Now I want it back so I can customize it myself. However when I delete this code it deletes my entire footer. Code is:

.site-info {
display: none;
}

Please help!

Thank you.

Hi there,

can you link us to the site in question? To inspect why it’s not showing up. 🙂

You can use the private information text field to provide the site details.

[ssc2019]

Yeah sure.

Thank you.

Can you check on Appearance > GeneratePress if “Copyright” module is activated?

[ssc2019]

Yes it is activated.

I still see this CSS active on your site as shown here – https://share.getcloudapp.com/qGuRPjy6

.site-info {
    display: none;
}

Can confirm/make sure it’s removed and save the changes. 😀

Yes I left it there because when I delete it, it deletes my entire footer which is what I don’t want. What is the way around this?

[Elvin]

It’s a CSS so it can’t delete an HTML element. CSS can’t affect the backend. 😀

You can see on my video here that toggling it shows the footer – https://share.getcloudapp.com/Qwu2vqee

Removing that specific CSS should show the part.

Can you remove the CSS and let us inspect the page?

[ssc2019]

That worked! It didn’t delete the footer this time. The only difference was I left one line blank in the CSS code when I deleted it so that may have been why? Anyway thanks for your help 🙂

Perhaps on your previous attempt, you removed something else along with it, effectively breaking the syntax.

Glad you got it sorted. No problem. 😀
