Description

Remove “Proudly powered by WordPress”

This plugin removes the “Proudly powered by WordPress” for those who want to use the default theme for their website but don’t want everyone to know what they’ve used to build it. Content can then be added in its place with a new “Site Info” widget area on some themes.

This plugin works on all default WordPress themes including …

Twenty Twenty One (widget area not implemented as it’s not suitable)
Twenty Twenty (widget area not implemented as it’s not suitable)
Twenty Nineteen (widget area not implemented as it’s not suitable)
Twenty Seventeen
Twenty Sixteen
Twenty Fifteen
Twenty Fourteen
Twenty Thirteen
Twenty Twelve
Twenty Eleven
Twenty Ten

… and now includes the following additional themes …

Seedlet theme and child themes (such as Blank Canvas)
Inspiro theme

Let us know if you want to add compatibility for your theme!

Installation

Easily remove the WordPress credit on the default WordPress theme …

1) Install Remove “Powered by WordPress” automatically or by uploading the ZIP file.
2) Activate the plugin through the “Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3) Turn off the plugin by deactivating it or through “Theme Options” menu in the Theme Customizer.
4) Optionally add content by dragging a widget (eg Text widget) into the new “Site Info” widget area (Twenty Nineteen and Twenty Twenty not compatible with this feature)
