Removing Footer Credit

Hello,

You can edit Footer Credit at Appearance > Editor > inc > template-functions.php (Line 272 – 277)

They say using the css way (site-info: none)is SEO sour and if the theme author did not offer an easy click to remove the credits then you should remove or alter it in the footer php file.

However now that file uses something called partial templates resulting in a footer.php that looks like this:
</div>
<footer id=”colophon” class=”site-footer” role=”contentinfo”>
<?php get_template_part( ‘components/footer/widgets’ ); ?>
<?php get_template_part( ‘components/footer/site’, ‘info’ ); ?>
</footer>
</div>

What do I do with this to remove the theme and WordPress credits? I’ve been through 5 themes already and they all have that. What is the new fix??? Thank you to anyone that can figure this out!

@shooty Try find at Appearance > Editor > inc > template-functions.php (Line 272 – 277)

Perhaps not the best way but it worked for me.
Add to your custom CSS

footer#colophon {
display: none;
}
