Footer Credits

This plugin adds a dedicated control panel to the site Customizer, allowing administrators to modify the text displayed in their theme's footer credits area. It is specifically designed for theme developers and site owners who want to provide or use a standardized, user-friendly way to manage this content without editing theme files.

• Customizer Integration: The settings are added directly to the Customizer interface, providing a live preview of changes as you type. This eliminates the need to guess how the final text will appear.
• Flexible Display Options: You can configure custom credit text to appear before the theme's default credits, after them, or to completely replace the default text. This offers precise control over the final output.
• Dynamic Year Shortcode: Includes a {{year}} shortcode that automatically updates to display the current year, ensuring copyright or date information remains accurate without manual updates.
• Theme Developer Support: For the plugin to function, a theme must explicitly add support by filtering its default credits through a specific hook. This creates a clean, reliable integration point between the plugin and compatible themes.
• Standardized Management: Provides a consistent method for site owners to edit footer credits across different themes that support the plugin, improving the user experience for multi-site administrators or those who switch themes.
