Removing the credits for the Techified is actually pretty simple. If you check out the file footer.php, you should find the following piece of code –

<div id="footer_bottom_content"><?php
printf(__('Copyright %s %s Howzzit.com. Powered by <a href="https://www.ads-software.com" target="_blank">WordPress</a>.'), '&copy;', date('Y')); ?></div>

Now, the credits text is pulled using the id #footer_bottom_content. How, I am not sure. So, all you need to do is remove this snippet of code and replace it with –

<div id="footer-bottom-content">
     <?php printf(__('Copyright %s %s Howzzit.com. Powered by <a href="https://www.ads-software.com" target="_blank">WordPress</a>.'), '&copy;', date('Y')); ?>
</div>
<div id="footer_bottom_content"> </div>

Now, open the style.css file and replace all the styles pertaining to #footer_bottom_content to #footer-bottom-content.

To remove the credits section add a new piece of CSS in the same style.css file –

#footer_bottom_content {
	display: none;
}

and voila! The credit text should be taken care of.

Now, why should you retain the line <div id="footer_bottom_content"> </div>, you may ask. This is because the “author” of the theme has somehow configured this CSS call with the JS that runs the slideshow at the top of the homepage. So, if you need the slider, you shall include this <div> as a necessity.

Hope this helps.
