Removing footer

Hello,

For that you need to first copy “footer.php” file from “Flat” theme and paste it in “Flat-Sky” theme directory. Now edit that file and add the following code
<a href="#">Your Copyright text</a>
In place of

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://www.ads-software.com/', 'flat' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'flat' ); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'flat' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>.
					<?php printf( __( 'Theme: %1$s %2$s by %3$s.', 'flat' ), 'Flat', wp_get_theme()->get( 'Version' ), '<a rel="nofollow" href="'.esc_url( 'https://themeisle.com/themes/flat/' ).'" title="'.esc_attr( 'Flat WordPress Theme' ).'">Themeisle</a>' ); ?>

In place of “#” you can put your link address, and in place of “Your Copyright Text” you can add your text.

Thank You

Hello,

Please make sure code is properly saved, and also try to clear cache, Sometimes cache creates issue. This will solve your problem.
If still you are getting problem then share your website address, i will take a closer look.

Thank You

I just clicked on update file in editor, is there something else I need to do?

Hello,

I think by mistake you have added footer.php file code of “Flat” theme in the style.css of “Flat-Sky”. Which is wrong. Please copy complete ‘footer.php’ file to “Flat-Sky” theme directory(folder). Instead of coping only the code.
And then make changes suggested above.
It will work.

Thank You.

And save this file.

This will show your copyright text in site.

Note : To open your theme directory open FTP and go to “wp-content/themes/”
here you will get both of your theme.

Open FTP where? are these files suppose to be on my computer? sorry I am a little lost with this.

Hello,

FTP (file transfer protocol) access is used to access your site internal files and folders. You need your FTP detail to access those files which can’t be accessable through WP dashboard.

If you don’t have FTP details then you need to contact your service provider.

Thank You
