In this file and at the bottom, if there is a ?> sign in the last line, open a new line immediately before this sign and paste the following code, and if you don’t, paste the code in the last line:

function wpmrj3_get_footer_text( $args = array() ) {

    global $wpdb;

    $defaults = array(
        'first_year'      => get_transient( 'wpmrj3_get_first_year' ),
        'current_year'    => date( 'Y' ),
        'symbol'          => '©',
        'text'            => esc_html__( 'جميع الحقوق محفوظة ', 'wpmrj3' ),//add your text here
        'site_name'       => get_bloginfo( 'name' ),
        'text_separator'  => ' **  ',// Change the * Sympole as you need
        'years_separator' => '-', // Change the - Sympole as you need
    );

    extract( apply_filters( 'wpmrj3_footer_credits_args', wp_parse_args( (array) $args, $defaults ) ) );
    unset( $args );

    if ( false === $first_year ) {

        $sql = "SELECT YEAR(min(post_date_gmt))
                AS first_year
                FROM $wpdb->posts
                WHERE post_status = 'publish'";

        if ( false === $first_year ) {
            $post_date_gmt = $wpdb->get_results( $sql ); // WPCS: cache ok. db call ok. unprepared SQL OK.

            if ( is_array( $post_date_gmt ) ) {
                set_transient( 'wpmrj3_get_first_year', $post_date_gmt[0]->first_year, MONTH_IN_SECONDS );
                unset( $post_date_gmt );
            }
        }
    }

    $output = $text . $text_separator . $site_name . ' ' . $symbol . ' ';

    if ( $current_year !== $first_year ) {

        $years = $first_year . $years_separator . $current_year;

        $output .= $years;
    } else {
        $output .= $current_year;
    }

    return apply_filters( 'wpmrj3_footer_text', $output );
}

Put the code in the file footer.php

• In this file you should look for a function < ?php wp_footer () ; ? > .. If this function is at the bottom of the file and there is nothing after it, then write the following code immediately before it
• But if the function is at the beginning of the file, delete everything below it and also put the following code
• Watch out | The closing tags < / /body >< /html > should also be directly below the function..

The code you can use is:

<?php echo esc_html( wpmrj3_get_footer_text() ) ?>
