Footer powered by smart cat

I know i need purchase the PRO to be able to remove the powered by.

Where did you get this information from, Jessica?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am copying paste here what it says:

The Pro Version includes

An additional light color skin
Add up to 5 slides to the slider
3 additional theme colors (Monochrome, Aqua and Purple)
the option to remove the smart cat branding

I have looked everywhere in the editor to find the powered by smart cat with no success.

Thanks again for the quick reply.

Jes.

Thank you for finding that for me ??
I just want to clarify, you can modify anything you want on the theme – I think what the theme author is trying to say is that with the Pro version there will be a non-code-y way to do it.

If you want to know how to change something specific, like the footer credits, could you open a new thread https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/byblos#postform

Thanks

Actually it’s very easy to customize that footer link with a child theme. And under no circumstances is any author permitted to bar someone from doing that here. ??

Here’s one way you can do it.

Create and activate a child theme.

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

Make a wp-content/themes/byblos-child directory. In that directory place these two files.

style.css

/*
Theme Name:     Byblos Child Theme
Description:    Child theme for Byblos
Template:       byblos
Version:        0.1.0
*/

functions.php

<?php

function mh_child_style() {
        wp_enqueue_style( 'byblos-parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
        // wp_enqueue_style( 'byblos-child-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mh_byblos_child_style' , 5 );

Which will setup the child theme for you. Activate “Byblos Child Theme” to make it active.

Now copy byblos/header.php to byblos-child/header.php and edit line 54 to this.

<?php // sc_footer(); ?>

That will comment out the footer link. Below that add what you want. For example:

<a href="https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes">Powered By a WordPress Child Theme</a>

And save that file. That will change the “Designed by SmartCat” to “Powered By a WordPress Child Theme”.

Hello Jan: I’ve set up the child theme as you describe but can’t get my style.css to load. Any hints will be appreciated.
