How do I adjust the footer message in Drupal? Do I need to login to Drupal dashboard or what?

I have searched almost every file in cPanel, but I could not find any of the website’s actual HTML.

I can only customize body content but not footer

Thanks.

PS: I think they might using Drupal 7 – precision themes

  1. The answer to this question depends pretty heavily on the manner in which the theme has been built. However, there are a few generic things to try. And yes you will most likely need to be logged into your site.

    In a default setup, the footer content is simply a block or blocks placed in the footer region of the theme. In this case, navigate to {site_address}/admin/structure/block (Structure >> Blocks from the Admin Toolbar) and edit the blocks placed in the footer region.

    If there are no blocks in that region, it is likely that the footer content is hard-coded in the theme files or configured in the theme settings. I would check:

    • the files inside of the /sites/all/themes/ directory in your
      webroot for a hard-coded footer
    • the settings for your default theme configured at
      {site_address}/admin/appearance/settings/{default_theme_name} (Appearance from the
      Admin Toolbar and then Settings underneath your default theme) for a configuration based footer

    Best of luck.

  2. It depends on how it’s added:

    • May be hard-coded somewhere in theme files. In that case you’ll have to edit theme files, /sites/all/themes/your-theme-name

    • Theme may have some options/property for this – check theme prefs (under appearance)

    • It may be added as a block – go to Structure -> Blocks and see if there is some block which name associates on “Drupal”, “Copyright” or similar and remove it from it’s block.
