Footer Credits-Removing them

Hi Tony,
Please visit https://www.themesandco.com/customizr/faq/ which will address this question together with a host of others.
it’s a pretty simple addition to the functions.php page.
I recommend creating a child theme first.

Hi Deird,

Thank you for all your replies..! I have of course created a child theme first thing.! I have also broken it 3 times and recreated so far, in trying to make this work. It’s the 3rd site I’m making with wp, and I have to say, this theme, is pretty complex just to change the footer credits.
I tried following the links you gave me, only to brake the theme and recreate it..sorry..I don’t know why, either I am making it complicated, or ..I don’t know.
What I’ve done so far is that I discovered earlier the /parts/class-footer-main.php file, copied it to my child theme and tried from there to take out/change a few lines I thought pertained to the “Designed by” credits…nothing…! Then, I made a “parts” folder inside my child theme, re copied the above file..edited it..nothing, (actually broke the theme and got white screen of death).
The 2nd link you gave me..was a bit more confusing for me..! Sorry…I don’t mean to be rude or anything, and I am VERY thankful for your help and swift response..!
I will refollow carefully instructions again..and come back to you. All I want to do is just remove the “Designed by” line
…THANK YOU…!

Hi Deird,

So, I decided to drop this theme altogether and use something simpler to modifier for now. I have spent 2 days in trying to get this work, and I can’t drive myself crazy anymore…:-)

I will however keep it in my “future must use” list of themes for when I’m more proficient with code etc.

Thank you for your time again…]

Tony…

Bong! That’s where your troubles started.

Do come back when you can. We’re here to help. Start with the Get Started section in the Documentation next time.

Good Luck.

Thank you ‘rdellconsulting”….

I now realise you’re not supposed to just…copy…the files you want to modify and put them in your child folder..! I still don’t really know what parts I’m supposed to modify when working with child themes.
What I have learned so far however, is to always use Child themes. At the beginning I made them myself, then I discovered a great plugin that does them with one click..can’t beat that.
Anyway, you have to admit though, that from a newbie’s point of things, this theme has a pretty complex structure if you want to modify/delete a footer credit. I have chosen Origami now instead, which I think suits more the pretty simple nature of the website I’m working on..!
But, Customizr is stuck in the back of my mind and will definitely want to have another go at it in the very near future..I want to learn..and that’s the main thing right…? ??

Thanks a lot for your time though…!!

Tony..

I have to be sincere @skopelosvillas.
I took a look at a theme bought from themeforest (a friend of mine bought it), and THAT was hard to customize, except for what they let you through gui.
Customizr is full of hooks, and I found it really simple. Alright, I’m .. say.. a programmer (but, unluckily, I’m not a geek) but a lot of users can just copy and paste all the snippets nic, rdell and others, provided.
For your problem, don’t know what you did but I can assure you that you can copy customizr/parts/whatever.php in your child/parts/whatever.php
, and if you make right replacements, it will work. And I’m not saying this just to say, I tried, and it worked, exactly what you wanted to do.
But, for these minor changes, don’t do that!
My suggestion:
Remove that parts/class-footer-main.php (anyway it should be class-footer-footer_main.php) of your child theme, and take a look at this:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-remove-footer-credit-1

Don’t give up, also ’cause I don’t think you will find something more flexible than customizr (except for one thing: Nic we want a hook in order to use “row-filter” instead of “row” ! :D),

p.s.
I have nothing to do with customizr staff. I’m just a (almost-power)user :D.

There are no customizr staff except Nic. But the regulars like the Theme so much that we all try to put something back into a free theme. I agree with @d4z, don’t give up! I was where you are 2 years ago.

No rdellconsulting..

I will certainly not give up…in fact I’m going more at it now. It seems like every hurdle I come across makes me want to go and learn even more..sounds cheesy..but true. I do appreciate your encouragement though for sure, it makes a difference..:-)

I can help you with that.

If you have used sFTP to download the files from WordPress you can find the file listed as “class-footer-footer_main” which can be found in the wp-content folder -> themes -> customizr -> parts

In the file you can find the “Designed By” section and either modify it or remove it. Be warned, you will have to change the position of the remainder of items in the footer though, meaning the social buttons and “back to top” link will use default to left.

Hope it helps.

Although that’s valid, it’s not the best approach. Nic has built in so many hooks and using filter/actions is a much cleaner way of doing it. That was what created the framework for the Snippets, and you’ll see that we use the hooks all the time.
