Notes
If you’re a theme author and want to add support, all you need to do is pass the default credits string through a footer_credits filter.
1. Create a template tag with the default credits and filter:
<?php
if ( ! function_exists( 'themename_credits' ) ) :
/**
* Theme credits text.
*/
function themename_credits() {
$text = sprintf( __( '%s by Cedaro.', 'themename' ),
'<a href="https://www.cedaro.com/wordpress/themes/hyalite/">Hyalite</a>'
);
echo apply_filters( 'footer_credits', $text );
}
endif;
2. Then call the template tag somewhere in the footer of the theme:
<footer class="site-footer">
<div class="credits">
<?php themename_credits(); ?>
</div>
</footer>
