How do I change the year in Custom Copyright?
I've looked through all the admin menus even tried to add code to make it happen automatically.
Just want hep top change the year if possible.

That would depend where your custom copyright is defined in the first place. Is it through a mod, or hardcoded in the theme files?
It's not something SMF does out of the box.

And you're 2 versions behind, the latest version is 2.0.17. Upgrade to 2.0.16 first, then apply 2.0.17.

apparently at some point someone put a copyright in.....and forgot to remove the built in one...also apparently either broke it or you didn't put your forum's name into your settings.....

look in your index.temeplate.php

also if you are going to play around with the default theme, it is best to create a copy of it and play with the copy....
otherwise when you do updates they might overwrite changes that you had made

in the default theme it should be

Code Select Expand

// Show the "Powered by" and "Valid" logos, as well as the copyright. Remember, the copyright must be somewhere!
echo '
<div id="footer"><div id="footer_section"><div class="frame">
<ul class="reset">
<li class="copyright">', theme_copyright(), '</li>
<li><a id="button_xhtml" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer" target="_blank" class="new_win" title="', $txt['valid_xhtml'], '"><span>', $txt['xhtml'], '</span></a></li>
', !empty($modSettings['xmlnews_enable']) && (!empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) || $context['user']['is_logged']) ? '<li><a id="button_rss" href="' . $scripturl . '?action=.xml;type=rss" class="new_win"><span>' . $txt['rss'] . '</span></a></li>' : '', '
<li class="last"><a id="button_wap2" href="', $scripturl , '?wap2" class="new_win"><span>', $txt['wap2'], '</span></a></li>';
$time = time () ;
$year= date("Y",$time);
echo ' <li><br />Copyright &copy; ' . $year . ' ' . $context['forum_name'] . ' | All Rights Reserved</li>';

obviously someone's already edited yours so yours will look different (and this is from 2.0.17, so not sure if it's different in 2.0.15)
you can remove the line that was added as it's not needed, and put your forum name in your settings

if you want it to show the 2006 - this year just add it this line

Code Select Expand

echo ' <li><br />Copyright &copy; ' . $year . ' ' . $context['forum_name'] . ' | All Rights Reserved</li>';
would then be

Code Select Expand

echo ' <li><br />Copyright &copy; 2006 - ' . $year . ' ' . $context['forum_name'] . ' | All Rights Reserved</li>';
