WordPress is a fantastic blogging platform to work with. The thousands of themes and plugins make customization of your site very easy. With the release of WordPress 3.0 we were introduced to the new theme Twenty Ten. It is a basic theme with basic customization and flexibility. By default the theme adds “Proudly Powered by WordPress” on the bottom of all your pages and posts. I am all for supporting WordPress and promoting their product but sometimes you want a clean look.
To remove “Proudly Powered by WordPresss” from the Twenty Ten theme perform the following steps:
- Log onto your WordPress Admin Page.
- Expand Appearance in the left menu bar.
- Click on Editor.
- In Editor click on Footer (footer.php) in the right list.
- footer.php will be displayed in the editor.
- Remove the following code from footer.php (the code is located near the end of the file)
- <div id=”site-generator”>
<?php do_action( ‘twentyten_credits’ ); ?>
<a href=”<?php echo esc_url( __(‘http://wordpress.org/’, ‘twentyten’) ); ?>”
title=”<?php esc_attr_e(‘Semantic Personal Publishing Platform’, ‘twentyten’); ?>” rel=”generator”>
<?php printf( __(‘Proudly powered by %s.’, ‘twentyten’), ‘WordPress’ ); ?>
</a>
</div><!– #site-generator –>
- <div id=”site-generator”>
- Click the Update button
Hmm, didn’t know about that, it looks better with this removed, yes.
Thanks alot!
Thanks for sharing this post but…Why would you remove this? You have to be very proud WordPress user and it’s nice to show this to your visitors!
very nice , can we add another logo instead of wordpress logo there ?
Yes, if you would like to put another logo in place of the wordpress logo, you would put the replacement code in the same place. I will play with it a little and copy some code that will work as an example.
Thanks for your post, it is very useful and could be easly adapted to modify and add in footer everything you want not just to remove some text.
I took out the code and the linked “Proudly Powered by WordPress.” is still there… Weird. Did WordPress create a default for themselves so that this method wouldn’t work?
I have the same error. I deleted the lines, but the “proudly powered …” is still there;-(
Folks,
Delete the portion of code given by original poster above, and replace it with the following:
<a href="” title=”" rel=”generator”>
Thanks this is great to know, I am sure it will come in useful for clients. I will however keep it in my footer as I am proud to leave it, word press is great!
