Hi

I thought to post it here as this is not an issue related to the theme.

have you looked in footer.php?

Yes I have – I tried several way to modify the code but nothing. It just ruins the graphic. Would you be so kind as to look at it for me? I can post it here if it is easier.

Yeah post it here I’ll take a look.

Just looking at the demo, the footer seems to be a widget. Have you looked for a footer widget?

No it is not. The widgets are on the right hand side and the theme maker text is on the button left. Footer.php is the following.

<?php global $shortname; global $themename; ?>
<!-- #Footer Area -->
<!-- Please donot modify this section -->
<div id="footer-area">
	<?php get_sidebar('footer'); ?>
	<!-- Footer Copyright info -->
	<div id="foot_copyrt" class="colreg">
		<div class="fcenter copyright_box">
	<?php
		if(sketch_get_option($shortname.'_copyright')){
		$string = sketch_get_option($shortname.'_copyright');
		$fstring = ske_striptag('br',$string);
	?>
		<?php echo $fstring; ?> | 

	<?php } ?>
	<span class="powered-by">Analytical Lite By <a title="Sketch Themes" href="https://www.sketchthemes.com/?utm_source=ana_pro">SketchThemes</a></span>
	</div>
	</div>
	<!-- Footer Copyright info -->
</div>
<!-- #Footer Area -->
</div>
<?php if(is_page_template('template-gallery.php')){ ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
	show_skebg_thumbs();
});
</script>
<?php } ?>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>

Either change this <span class="powered-by">Analytical Lite By SketchThemes</span> to your own copyright, or remove the code to remove the footer.

If I remove the code completely, the widgets are gone too.

Just remove this part of the code:

<!-- Footer Copyright info -->
<div id="foot_copyrt" class="colreg">
<div class="fcenter copyright_box">
<?php
if(sketch_get_option($shortname.'_copyright')){
$string = sketch_get_option($shortname.'_copyright');
$fstring = ske_striptag('br',$string);
?>
<?php echo $fstring; ?> |

<?php } ?>
<span class="powered-by">Analytical Lite By SketchThemes</span>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Footer Copyright info -->

I have removed that part as you suggested but unfortunately the text is still there.

It’s not a good idea to modify theme files – as your changes will be lost when the theme is updated – you should, instead be using a Child Theme to make any changes like this.

An easier way to remove that line of text is to use CSS:

.powered-by {
     display: none;
}

Add that to a child theme or add custom CSS via a plugin.

I thought to post it here as this is not an issue related to the theme.

This IS a theme-specific question, so next time, please use the theme’s own forum.

I will not update the theme as I am fine with this version. Therefore I would like to know what I can remove from footer.php or any other file.

Thank you so much.
