1. Awesome!

   I just had to recently show a client how to do this, using your article. Thanks for making it so easy to understand!

2. I’m using “Remove Footer credits” plugin to remove my footer links. But after reading this post, it is really simple to remove those links. Thanks for this useful post.

3. Thank youu so much

4. Nice site, very nice. Thanks for sharing this.

5. This is the best one solution from all of those that I have found on internet. Thanks for sharing and making me able to remove wordpress powered by text.

6. please i have tried both of them but is not working
   I need your help

7. Hi Mark,

   what theme are you using and what have you tried so far? I could help if you could tell me this.

   Thanks,
   Cristian.

8. I have try too but it is not working, i am using free theme, my footer read “Islemag powered by WordPress”

9. cool this will help me a lot
   thanks, machothemes

10. Hi, it isn’t working for me as well. i’m using hestia theme

11. Just get a custom wordpress developer and all the template footprints will be removed. At least if you get in touch with a decent one =) Good luck!

12. Terrible because the Hestia Theme has no area in the code saying powered by WordPress but it still shows up on the website.

13. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Thanks|

14. I’m also using the Hestia theme and having the same issue as a few people here. I usually know how to remove the footer credits as explained in this post, however, with this theme the code isn’t the same which confuses me.

15. you can simply remove it by going to appearence>editor>CTR+f and fine footer.php>where you can again use Ctr+f to find what you want to remove or replace from footer

16. you can simple remove from footer.php file

17. The Baggies theme authors are clever. they modified the code to an extent that it took me 2 hours to figure out where they placed the footer “powered by” text. 1-null for baggies. Usually its an easy task.

18. I ended up only removing one line from the Footer.php and the issue was resolved.

19. Thanks dude! this is a great method, usually I use the plugin called “Remove Footer Credit” but it doesn’t work for some themes.

20. Excellent! Thanks!

21. I built my first website last year with the help of these tutorials. Very helpful as always. Thank you :).

22. Cool Tricks. Thanks a lot for this Awesome Tutorial.

23. Just a note for the Hestia users. Appearance>Customize>Additional CSS. Add in this line of code:

    .copyright.pull-right {
    display: none;
    }

24. Not working for me i am using Anima theme

25. @karan – you can use the following plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-footer-credit/ to remove footer credits from Anima theme.

26. i like this post very much

27. not working for me using twenty eleven theme at www. profitable-investing. com

28. Hi Geoffrey,

    I just visited your site – it looks like you’ve managed to fix it in the meantime?

    Thanks,
    Cristian.

29. None of these options work now in the Atahualpa theme. I have tried everything to get rid of it. I haven’t had any problems customizing the footer until the latest update.

    • Hi Kathy,

      did you manage to get it fixed? Have you tried: https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-footer-credit/

      Thanks.

30. Hi there,

    Could you tell me how to remove the copyright from themes like Kale or Hestia?
    I can’t seem to do it.

    • Hi Terence,

      did you use Remove Footer Credit Plugin or trying to remove it by editing theme files?

      Let me know!

      Thanks,
      Cristian.

31. I am using Total wp theme. Not able to remove the footer credit. Remove Footer Credit plugin is also not working. footer.php is not updated when I try to edit it. Will someone help me? I am a novice in wp. Thanks in advance.

    • Hi Hitesh,

      I’ve just tested this with Total theme by Hash Themes & Remove Footer Credit worked flawlessly.

      Could you please send a screenshot of the settings you’re using for the plugin?

      Thanks,
      Cristian.

32. Not working for my Theme Seopress, I had to uninstall it before anyone hack my site with a all promise and fail plugin

    • I’m really sorry to hear that Ibrahim. We will update this page and include the theme SEOpress with a tutorial on how to remove the footer link.

      Thank you,
      Cristian.

33. Hello
    I just installed your plug in and am unsure how to use it!
    Feeling like a dingbat.
    I typed in the text I wanted removed and saved.. but nothing.
    I’m using Envo Business theme

    • Hello Jenna,

      You have to go to your website > right click on it and select ‘View page source’ > search there for the text/html you want to remove and then copy it > and paste it in your dashboard > Tools > Remove footer credit > Step 1 > inside the field for step 2 enter your replacement for that text/html.

      Please see my screenshots with an example:

      Please give this a go and let me know how it goes! If you have questions, please let me know.

      Thank you,

34. hi, great plugin and tips on how to do it yourself.
    thanks

35. Where is my comment?

36. Hi,

    I tried the plugin but no luck. Using Fluida theme. The powered by Fluida & WordPress is not in the footer.php. I’ve read some comments and even though its released under a GPL license they won’t give up the “secret” to remove the footer credits.

    Thank you!

    Mark

    • Hello Mark,

      You can replace that text easily using our plugin.
      There is no need to edit the any theme files.
      You just have to go to your website > right click on it and select ‘View page source’ > search there for the text/html you want to remove and then copy it > and paste it in your dashboard > Tools > Remove footer credit > Step 1 > inside the field for step 2 enter your replacement for that text/html.

      Here is an example for the Fluida theme, which I tested beforehand: https://gyazo.com/00b041aca063b4aba87ffd15b69959b0

      Please give this a try and let me know how it goes!

      All the best,
      Mihaela

37. Does this work if you’re running multiple themes? It’s removing the footer link from one of my themes perfectly, but I can’t seem to find the correct line of coding to remove the other one…

    • Hao – could you please describe your situation in a bit more detail? I’m not sure I can follow. How are you exactly using multiple themes at the same time?

      Thanks,
      Cristian.

38. I’m using simple catch but it’s just not working for me.how do I go about this please

39. Thanks but I have problem. Could you help me please?
    I did first step. I add code style.css but at this time my head info turn visible. That is the ss of it: http://i63.tinypic.com/2z53ckh.png

    How to fix it?
    Thank you so much.

40. Thanks for sharing, may life bless you :)

41. Thank you for making the plug-in!

    I was able to get the plugin to replace the text, but the link to wordpress.org still remains on my replacement text. I was wondering if you had any suggestions/tips on how to remove that link.

    • I should also mention that I am using the twentyseventeen theme.

      • Hello Mike,

        You will have to replace that url as well.
        I have installed the Twenty Seventeen theme to create an example for you.
        Please see it below: https://gyazo.com/3dd3ad729b375e6285932aa9c7fedf0a
        I have highlighted where you should add the replacement link.

        Please let me know how it goes!

        All the best,
        Mihaela

        • That worked great, thank you! :)

          I have another site that I’m using the ColorMag theme on, and it doesn’t seem to be allowing me to change any of the footer credit text with the plugin.

          I’d love to hear if you have any tips on how to get it to work.

42. Thank you very much it helps alot…..
