    how to remove credit links and name from footer.

    [ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

    <?php  } ?>

    <div id="footer">

        <div id="copyrights">
            <?php
                if($theme->display('footer_custom_text')) {
                    $theme->option('footer_custom_text');
                } else {
                    ?> ? <?php echo date('Y'); ?>  <a>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a><?php
                }
            ?>
        </div>

        <?php /*
            All links in the footer should remain intact.
            These links are all family friendly and will not hurt your site in any way.
            Warning! Your site may stop working if these links are edited or deleted 

            You can buy this theme without footer links online at https://xyz.com/buy/?theme=xxx
        */ ?>

 <div id="credits">Powered by <a href="#"><strong>ABC</strong></a> | Theme Designed by: <?php echo wp_theme_credits(0); ?>  | Thanks to <?php echo wp_theme_credits(1); ?>, <?php echo wp_theme_credits(2); ?> and <?php echo wp_theme_credits(3); ?></div><!-- #credits -->

  • You’ve got a bad theme there. Get a new one.

    Seriosuly, that’s the best thing to do. Any thing that tries to hold you to “ransom” with conditions like “don’t touch our credits or your site might stop working” doesn’t deserve to be used. By the looks of it, this is a “free” theme that uses this sort of bad “mrketing” tactic to push you to spend money on the pro version of them theme. I would remove this and never use anything from that company or website again.

    There’s (literally) 1,000’s of themes out there that won’t force these sort of restrictions on you. If you want something that is truely free and open, find a theme in the theme repository here, and use that.

    If you really feel you have to keep using that theme, just delete everything in the #credits div. The theme may not be happy with that and might stp working like the warning message says, but that’s the chance that you take when you use a nasty theme like that one.

    I’m sorry, but your chosen theme is not released under GPL. Non GPL products are not welcome in the WordPress community. Official WordPress policy states that all plugins and themes that are publicly released are required to adhere to https://www.ads-software.com/about/gpl/

    Any support requests for non-GPL products are usually ignored, in the interests of supporting the community and its freedoms.

    Just comment out the line:

    wp_initialize_the_theme_finish();

    It’s a shitty theme though, get another one.
