How to remove Proudly powered by WordPress?

How can I remove Proudly powered by WordPress?

Edit footer.php – /themes/birdtips/footer.php

I would like to know if it’s possible to remove one sidebar

Looks like that may not be an easy task. The theme doesn’t appear to feature any layout options that allow you to change the number of sidebars.

Hi Clayton,

Thanks for your help. I have tried to edit footer.php, but it seems that I’m not doing it properly, cause it still appears. What should I edit/remove specifically?
Thanks in advance

</div>

<footer id=”footer”>
<p><span class=”home”>“><?php bloginfo( ‘name’ ); ?></span><span class=”generator”><?php printf( __( ‘Proudly powered by WordPress’, ‘birdtips’ ), ‘WordPress’ ); ?></span></p>
</footer>

</div>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

</body>
</html>

If you want to remove everything except your site name, just comment out the code you don’t need. That way if you change your mind later you can just remove the commenting. Try change the code to this:

</div>

	<footer id="footer">
		<p><span class="home"><a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></span><!--<span class="generator"><a href="https://www.ads-software.com/" target="_blank"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by WordPress', 'birdtips' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></span>--></p>
	</footer>

</div>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

</body>
</html>

..note the items between the commenting <!-- -->

Problem solved.
Thanks so much Clayton.

You’re welcome.
