Remove Footer Credit

By WPChill

Description

Remove or replace footer credits (or any text or HTML in page) before page is rendered. With this plugin there is no need to modify code such as footer.php which if done incorrectly can cause your site to break or new theme updates will stomp over your changes requiring you to remove footer credits on each update.

This plugin has very minimal options to keep things simple and easier to use. You enter the text or HTML that you would like to find in one text box and the text or HTML that you would like to replace in another text box (or nothing to remove). Go here to view my step by step tutorial with screenshots and video.

Works with HTML code, great support

It didn't work out as easily as I had expected. Some theme providers do everything to prevent you from deleting their credits. With some quick and competent support, and some careful copy/paste experiments, it finally worked. Just deleting the footer text would have been much easier by adding a little piece of code in the customizer/footer section. But since I also wanted to add something new to the footer, this worked perfectly for me.

I was trying to look through the php of my theme but it got extremely frustrating. This plugin helps a ton!

Seems to Do Nothing

It seems to work, but not as intuitive as it should be. You need to copy the code that makes up the footer porting you wish to move and paste that into the box. Wish there as a way to simply way to remove it.

Improved

Unfortunately it doesn't work with the latest Lightning theme update. I am hoping for a plugin update that fixes the issue. Good job 🙂 REVIEW UPDATE: After the update everything works fine. Tanks for the assistance. 5 stars all deserved 🙂

Easier than others…

This is a cool plugin, and a lot more simple than many other ways to change the footer copyright, which I was so glad of. I think I messed up some page code while working with it though, and it temporarily messed up my page layout. It's better now, though I still don't know how it fixed. 😛 But, I ended up using a different plugin to change my footer copyright, that was even simpler and more straightforward than this. This was the next best though!
