OpenCart Journal Theme Footer Copyright Text Not Updating

If your OpenCart Journal theme is experiencing issues with the footer copyright text not updating, follow these steps to diagnose and resolve the issue:

1. Clear Theme and System Cache: Clear the theme cache in the Journal theme settings and the system cache in the OpenCart admin panel. This ensures that the latest configurations, including footer copyright settings, are applied.
2. Update Journal Theme: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Journal theme. Updates may include improvements and bug fixes related to the branding and display settings.
3. Check Theme Settings: Review the footer copyright text settings in the Journal theme settings or OpenCart admin panel. Confirm that the desired text is entered correctly and that there are no restrictions on the length or format of the copyright text.
4. Check for Theme Overrides: Inspect the theme files to ensure that there are no overrides or customizations that may be preventing the update of the footer copyright text. Custom code may override the default settings.
5. JavaScript and AJAX Issues: Check your browser’s console for JavaScript errors when attempting to update the footer copyright text. JavaScript errors can disrupt the saving or updating process.
6. Default Theme Test: Temporarily switch to a default OpenCart theme to determine if the issue is specific to the Journal theme. This helps identify whether the problem is related to the theme itself.
7. Check File Permissions: Confirm that the theme files, especially those related to the footer, have the correct file permissions. Incorrect permissions may prevent changes from being saved.
8. Database Inspection: Check the database to ensure that the changes to the footer copyright text are being saved correctly. Inspect the relevant database tables or fields for any anomalies.
9. Review .tpl Files: Inspect the template files (.tpl) associated with the footer. Ensure that there are no coding errors or conflicts that could be preventing the correct rendering or updating of the copyright text.
10. Contact Theme Developer: If the issue persists, contact the Journal theme developer for specific assistance. They may provide insights or updates to address footer copyright text update problems.
11. Manual Update in Code: As a temporary solution, consider manually updating the footer copyright text directly in the theme files if other methods fail. However, this is not recommended for long-term maintenance.
