Remove/Change Footer

  • Hi,
    this is a great theme, but I have a question.

    I’d like to remove or change the Footer-text, but I’m unsure how to do this.

    I’ve tried to change the Text in the Parent-Theme SG Window-Pro. It works, but, when I activate the child-theme it display the old text as well.

    So I like to know, what to do. My idea was to delete the `<?php
    get_footer();`in the index.php of the parent-theme, but I’m not sure, if this is the right way?.

    Alternative I’d like to change the Footer_Text but also unsure, where I have to do this.

    Can I change the text between ‘ and ‘ in the functions.php in the Code ?`$defaults[‘footer_text’] = ‘<a href=”‘ . __( ‘https://www.ads-software.com/&#8217;, ‘dreamway’ ) . ‘”>’ . __( ‘Powered by WordPress’, ‘dreamway’ ). ‘</a> | ‘ . __( ‘theme ‘, ‘dreamway’ ) . ‘<a href=”‘ . __( ‘https://wpblogs.ru/themes/blog/theme/dream-way/&#8217;, ‘dreamway’) . ‘”>Dream Way</a>’;
    `
    I’m a little afraid of losing my work *shame*

  • Hello @babypuk,

    DISCLAIMER: I have not used the theme you’re using before, but I think this would work.

    Try creating “footer.php” in your child theme folder, copy everything from the original parent theme’s “footer.php” to your child theme’s “footer.php”.

    Now open the footer.php of your child theme and change what you want.

    There should be no reason to delete ANYTHING from your parent theme. Everything in the parent theme *should* be able to be overwritten on a child theme.

    Hi,
    thanks for your answer, but I wasn’t able to solve the problem this way. I’ve tried, what you wrote; but in the footer.php there seems to be no possibility to change these things (f.e. the texts).

    I found the following code in the functions.php of the Child Theme 

    $defaults['footer_text'] = '<a href="' . __( 'https://www.ads-software.com/', 'dreamway' ) . '">' . __( 'Powered by WordPress', 'dreamway' ). '</a> | ' . __( 'theme ', 'dreamway' ) . '<a href="' .  __( 'https://wpblogs.ru/themes/blog/theme/dream-way/', 'dreamway') . '">Dream Way</a>';

    With a little Trial&Error I managed to change the texts and the links without breaking the complete site. Wohooo! ??

    Maybe this helps anybody else.
