These settings and color pickers are based on Theme Customization API and can be accessed via WordPress dashboard – Appearance – Customize.

14.Footer copyright information

Footer default copyright information is hard coded and can’t be changed. It will change date and title automatically, so you shouldn’t worry about that.
However, there is another option to customize footer information. Since Travelify 2.0 we have created a custom field to add custom copyright or any other information in footer. This field can be found via WordPress dashboard – Appearance – Customize – Travelify Footer.

This field can handle HTML markup, so you can even add images, icons, formated text or whatever you can come up with
