Magento 2.2.4 : How to change Footer Copyright in Magento 2?

Question

I tried changing footer copyright in Content->Configuration Edit Active Theme and Change Copyright Message in Footer Tab. But I get Error as "Area is Already Set" on Saving it.

So, How to Change Footer Copyright Message in Magento 2?

Answer 1

as explained by Sukumar Gorai it is a bug with Magento 2.2.4. Personally I have upgraded to 2.2.6 and it solved the issue. I used the following commands:

sudo composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.0.2 --no-update
sudo composer update
sudo rm -rf var/cache var/di var/generation var/page_cache
sudo php bin/magento cache:clean
sudo php bin/magento cache:flush
sudo php bin/magento setup:upgrade
sudo php bin/magento setup:di:compile
sudo php bin/magento indexer:reindex

followed by a running of a personal script that re-deploys all static content and fixes permissions.

Answer 2

Instead of doing from specific theme

Go to Content > Design > Configuration > Global

Edit it Under Footer tab update copyright text and save it.

This is known bug in Magento 2.2.4: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/14968

You can resolve this by following:

Change in vendor\magento\module-email\Model\AbstractTemplate.php this:

public function setForcedArea($templateId)
{
    if($this->area) {
        throw new \LogicException(__('Area is already set'));
    }
    $this->area = $this->emailConfig->getTemplateArea($templateId);
    return $this;
}

With this:

public function setForcedArea($templateId)
{
    if(!isset($this->area)) {
        $this->area = $this->emailConfig->getTemplateArea($templateId);
    }
    return $this;
}
