Since this this a dynamic feature that can be generated in a couple of ways, do you mind sharing the approach you used to generate it to enable us give a specific solution.
I tried adding this merge tag to the footer copyright but the tag doesn't work. so for now I have disabled this and have manually added the date to tide me over.
to ensure that its not overwritten in any theme updates are you able to copy the code that needs pasting into my child theme here for me? ( with the full point code removed)
Our footer text is quite long but its a sentence. The ful stop is generated after the site name and date. I need to remove it.

Hi Jen,
Thank you for getting back.

Thanks,
I have used the automatic copyright and then followed by html text in the footer copyright section
(see the screen shot)
Its just that YOUR automatic code adds a full point after © {YEAR} {SITENAME}
I would disable this but then we have to manually update the © {YEAR} every year.

Hi Jen,
Thank you for getting back to us.
I can see that the full stop has been removed from the footer copyright section. Here's a screengrab of what I'm seeing on my end.
Please confirm that you see the same from your end.
We look forward to your reply.
Thanks,
Andrew
As mentioned in my response below I have done this manually.
I have TURNED OFF the automatic copyright so my client is happy that there is no full point.
I tried using just the date merge code in my manual copyright html but that didn't work - it just displayed the merge.
so, NO, Its not fixed. Its a manual override for now.
I need to get from you something to stop the site name from adding a full point that I don't want. Ideally I do want to use the auto © {YEAR} {SITENAME} so that i don't have to manually update the year every year.
Hi Jen,
Thank you for getting back to us.
You can remove the full stop by editing the footer.php file in the theme files. You can find it in this location: \salient\nectar\helpers\footer.php.
Alternatively, you can copy this file and add the contents in the functions.php file in your child theme and remove the full stop from there.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Thankyou Andrew

Hey Again,
Thanks for reaching out! .
Add this to your child theme functions.php file and it should remove the dot.
function custom_salient_copyright_text_no_dot($copyright_text) { return str_replace('. ', '', $copyright_text); } add_filter('salient_default_copyright_text', 'custom_salient_copyright_text_no_dot');Best,
