Chow says, “Happy New Year everyone! It addition to the tips I gave you to make 2016 your best year ever, I’m going to add one more tip, and that is to update your blog copyright notice to say 2016.

If your blog doesn’t have a copyright notice, you should add one right away. Many bloggers may consider this a relatively minor issue. However, from a professional and branding standpoint, making sure your blog has a copyright notice with the correct information is very important.

For most bloggers, this is a simple task of logging into the WordPress admin panel and editing the footer.php file in the themes editor. Find the part that says Copyright 2015 and change it to say Copyright 2016. Because this is done only once a year, many bloggers will forget to update the copyright notice until someone points it out to them.

How To Auto Update The Copyright Notice

Instead of manually updating the copyright notice once a year, there is a simple way to make WordPress do it automatically. Start by Logging into your WordPress themes editor and open the file that holds your copyright information“.
