Replete 2.4 How to add a date beside the copyright in footer.

Hi Vinnie,

I tried a couple plugins and I am not having any luck getting the date changed where it needs to be changed.
Below I have pasted the socket area in footer.php (Where exactly do I put the code you sent me? <?php echo date(‘Y’); ?>

I have been told we are running a child theme already but I could not find the footer.php code in there. It was in the parent.
Is the child theme missing this file? I see in the themes panel that child is the active theme.

<!– ####### SOCKET CONTAINER ####### –>
<div class=’container_wrap socket_color’ id=’socket’>
<div class=’container’>
<span class=’copyright’>© <?php _e(‘Copyright’,’avia_framework’); ?> – ‘><?php echo get_bloginfo(‘name’);?><?php echo $kriesi_at_backlink; ?></span>

<?php

echo “<div class=’sub_menu_socket’>”;
$args = array(‘theme_location’=>’avia3’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ”, ‘depth’=>1);
wp_nav_menu($args);
echo “</div>”;

?>

</div>
</div>
<!— ####### END SOCKET CONTAINER ####### –>

Thanks,
RW
