2 Ways To Modify The Genesis Footer Credits Conditionally

Using a code editor & FTP or File Manager in cPanel, add 1 of the following PHP code snippets to the end of your child themes functions file.

You can then modify the text & HTML links in the code to your own requirements.

All code snippets generate 2 different footer credits.

The 1st set of credits in each code snippet displays on the front page and the 2nd displays on all other pages.

1 : Uses the genesis_footer_output filter conditionally

add_filter( 'genesis_footer_output', 'filter_custom_footer' );
function filter_custom_footer( $output ) {
if ( is_front_page() ) :
    $output = sprintf( '

%s<span class="dashicons dashicons-heart"></span>%s<a href="https://www.studiopress.com/">%s</a>

',  __( 'Handcrafted with ' ), __( ' on the' ), __( ' Genesis Framework' ) );
    return $output;
    else :
    $output = '[footer_copyright] &middot; <a href="https://mydomain.com">My Custom Link</a> &middot; Built on the <a href="https://www.studiopress.com/themes/genesis" title="Genesis Framework">Genesis Framework</a>';
    return $output;
    endif;
}

3 : Removes the footer & adds it back with custom footer credits conditionally

remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer' );
add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'conditional_footer_text' );
function conditional_footer_text() {
if ( is_front_page() ) :
    printf( '

%s<span class="dashicons dashicons-heart"></span>%s<a href="https://www.studiopress.com/">%s</a>

',  __( 'Handcrafted with ' ), __( ' on the' ), __( ' Genesis Framework' ) );
    else:
    echo '

    endif;
}
