Does anybody have any specific advice as to what I must remove in my footer.php so that “Proudly powered by WordPress” will no longer be visible?

My footer.php currently looks like this:

<?php
/**
* The template for displaying the footer.
*
* Contains the closing of the id=main div and all content after
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Eleven
* @since Twenty Eleven 1.0
*/
?>
</div><!– #main –>
<footer id=”colophon” role=”contentinfo”>
<?php
/* A sidebar in the footer? Yep. You can can customize
* your footer with three columns of widgets.
*/
if ( ! is_404() )
get_sidebar( ‘footer’ );
?>
<div id=”site-generator”>
<?php do_action( ‘twentyeleven_credits’ ); ?>
” title=”<?php esc_attr_e( ‘Semantic Personal Publishing Platform’, ‘twentyeleven’ ); ?>” rel=”generator”><?php printf( __( ‘Proudly powered by %s’, ‘twentyeleven’ ), ‘WordPress’ ); ?>
</div>
</footer><!– #colophon –>
</div><!– #page –>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>

Jarret —

Question 1: Will I ever have to undo the removal of code in the sidebar.php? If so, in what situations?

Question 2: Are there any unwanted “side effects” of this code removal?

I have just created a child theme folder for my Twenty Eleven theme. I won’t have a problem using a child theme, as long as I know exactly what to have in the child theme files.

Thanks again, Jarret. I’ll go with the recommended Option 2.

Thanks, JarretC.

Is one option better than the other?

I’ve created footer.php in my twentyeleven-child directory. What must I have in that child footer to remove “Proudly powered by WordPress”?

Thanks, Christine.

Jonathan,
You wrote “Probably a good idea that you do that.”

Do what?

Thanks, Hfort.
Will take a look at the style.css.
Our site is not available yet, but the theme we’re using is themeid’s Responsive, in the featured section of the theme directory.

Jonathan, they have not answered. When I asked if GF has this functionality, they said that it doesn’t and a third party script is neeeded.

Jonathan, I have asked at GF.

Thanks, graphfx. The Gravity Forms site looks good. Would you be able to recommend any free alternatives?

esmi, thanks for your reply.

Found an easy way.
