The copyright field is not a widget area - that snippet only allows shortcodes to process in the widgets areas in Appearance > Widgets. If you want to use a shortcode in that area, it would be easiest to just add it into the footer.php file (which you could transport to a child theme if you're worried about future updates).
If you open that file up you'll see the copyright section towards the bottom you could use something like this in:
Okay, let's forget that plugin and widgets. If I'm editing the code, I may as well just use PHP.
So how do I get PHP to work in the Salient Footer Copyright Section Text box? When I try, the web page just doesn't show anything between where the PHP tags are in the box.
I am not sorry but we are having trouble understanding what is it that you are trying to do and have done. Could you please provide wp-admin login details and explain to us in details what exactly you need done so we can try to help you out.
I was hoping there was a simpler solution that didn't involve overriding theme code, but I guess not. I've copied footer.php, made my change, and it works fine.

I'd like the footer to look something like this:

Hey John! For some reason those credentials are not working for me, but if you're going to edit the footer.php directly here's the code to paste in :)
Cheers
Hey John!
No i am afraid not you will have to edit the footer.php and put it in your child theme folder.
All the Best,

Thanks again for your support.
