Remove "Theme Designed by" in Footer

  • Hi do y’all know how to remove the “Theme Designed by…” line in the footer? Going to be starting a company blog/website for someone, they think it looks more professional without that line. Is there any code I can add to the custom CSS box so I don’t need to make any changes to the code/create a child theme for this? Thanks in advance

  • I don’t know about css code, but you cann access the themes directory and edit the footer.php.

    You will have to hide that section.
    .site-info container{ display:none; }

    *Don’t remove or add code to the footer without creating a child theme. After updates your changes will be lost.

    Unfortunately the footer is marked up in such a way that you can’t selectively keep the copyright notice but remove the theme credit link with CSS.

    Something like this:

    .site-footer { display: none; }

    Would remove the entire section, as the above poster stated.

    Also, display: none’ing outgoing links can look sketchy to search engine bots.

    I’d recommend creating a simple child theme for the sole purpose of overriding the footer.php file to remove the credit text.

    More information on child themes can be found on the Codex.
