Sela Credit Footer

This custom CSS should do the trick:

.site-info {
  display: none;
}

Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten whenever the theme is updated.

An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the Jetpack plugin and activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.

As alternatives, you could either install a standalone custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.

If you’re using Infinite Scroll, you’ll need another method to remove the special footer that one comes with, but without seeing a link to your site I’m not sure if that’s the case.

Ok I understand how to remove — But how do I add my own copyright information?

If you wish to hide the existing credits, and add your own text, change the code @kathryn gave you to the following.

.site-info {
    visibility: hidden;
}
.site-info:before {
    visibility: visible;
    content: "This is my Text";
    display: block;
}

Ok, so how do you do this without adding to the height of the footer? :o/
(Doing sacredpath’s solution hides the original content, but it’s still there, taking up space)
Thx

Liquidream – please provide a link to your site so I can take a look.

Ok here you go Kathryn: Site link
(Please note: site is very much WIP, practically just started!)

Try changing the first piece of CSS to:

.site-info {
  visibility: hidden;
  height: 20px;
}

Thank you very much Kathryn – that’s perfect! :o)
