Editing the footer credits

  • Hi,

    I would like to edit the credits in the footer, and I know that it can be done in footer.php but even after I have edited the HTML I still get the proudly powered by wordpress.

    I believe this isn’t specific theme related, since I’m facing this on several themes.

    When I remove the wp_footer function that line is removed but so is any javascript libraries and so on..

    This is my footer.php

    <a class="go-top"><i class="fa fa-angle-up"></i></a>

	<footer id="colophon" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo">
		<div class="site-info container">

		</div><!-- .site-info -->
	</footer><!-- #colophon -->
</div><!-- #page -->

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hello there,

    It should be done in the child theme mode. So the changes won’t be lost as the footer.php template of the main theme is overwritten once the theme gets updated.

    You might want to use our premade Sydney child theme. Then copy footer.php file from main theme folder to child theme and start editing from there. Once you are done, install and activate the child theme.

    I just noticed that if I have a sticked page,that footer disappears.
    But when I go to the blog posts page the footer I attached in the link above appears.. :/

    Hi wadie!

    For some reason your footer.php looks different than mine. Here is what I did and it worked for me. I replaced all the text with “test text”.

    <?php
    /**
    * The template for displaying the footer.
    *
    * Contains the closing of the #content div and all content after
    *
    * @package Sydney
    */
    ?>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div><!– #content –>

    <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘footer-1’ ) ) : ?>
    <?php get_sidebar(‘footer’); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <i class=”fa fa-angle-up”></i>

    <footer id=”colophon” class=”site-footer” role=”contentinfo”>
    <div class=”site-info container”>
    “><?php printf( __( ‘Test Text’, ‘Test Text’ ), ‘Test Text’ ); ?>
    <span class=”sep”> | </span>
    <?php printf( __( ‘Text Text: %2$s by %1$s.’, ‘sydney’ ), ‘aThemes’, ‘Test Text‘ ); ?>
    </div><!– .site-info –>
    </footer><!– #colophon –>
    </div><!– #page –>

    <?php wp_footer(); ?>

    </body>
    </html>

    Hope this helps! Here is my screen shot: https://puu.sh/qN66L/1d3d68969d.png

    Hallo!

    Whenever I delete the printf’s I am able to remove the first credits line,but I am kept with another proudly powered by wordpress line..and as I just noticed it is below the black footer.

    The only way it get totally removed is if I take out the wp_footer but then I get no javascript functionality on the website.
