Hi Rakesh, this command will remove the footer block but not copyright. However, I tracked the copyright and found that it is generated by /public_html/vendor/magento/module-theme/view/frontend/templates/html/copyright.phtml. I modifed the content in copyright.phtml and achieved what I want. By deleting the content in this file, the copyright information will also be deleted but the background stays there. But what I want to achieve is to change the wording of copyright, so it works for me. Hopefully in next version, Magento fixes this issue then I don't have to do this again. Thanks for your help!

You can just remove copyright by below way,

<referenceBlock name="copyright" remove="true"/> 

By default change content of copyright from backend, your content will be changed though error is displayed.

Hi WZ_OZES,

Please Note : This is magento 2.2.4 know issue and below fix is just a temporary fix. You should not directly change Magento core file instead (override or create a plugin)

Temporary work around for this will be to change: Magento\Email\Model\AbstractTemplate.php

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

Replace above code with:

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