How to change text in footer (child)

[Ekaterina]

Hi, I changed text in footer in this footer.php file:

<p class="footer-credits <?php if ( !has_nav_menu( 'secondary-menu' ) ) : ?>footer-credits-single<?php endif; ?>">
                    <?php _e( "Copyright &copy;", 'buddyboss' ); ?> <?php echo date('Y'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php _e( '&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp; Designed by <a href="https://www.buddyboss.com/" target="_blank" title="responsive BuddyPress theme">BuddyBoss</a>', 'buddyboss' ); ?>
                </p>

But when the theme got updated it deletes it obviously, there is no file like this in Child theme, how do I make footer forever?

@denis Download a copy of footer.php, edit as needed, and upload into your child theme. You may need to create the correct folder structure in your child theme for other files, but footer.php can be uploaded directly into there. Your changes will remain after theme updates.
