Removing Powered by WordPress from the footer credit makes your website look more professional. You only need to do this with a free theme from WordPress. if you buy a premium theme from smashingthemes.com you will not need to remove anything from the footer text.
WordPress recently changed how you can move powered by WordPress. When I did this last year, I went to theme editor and click one button
There are multiple ways to remove the footer link, the way I am showing you is by using the WordPress theme customizer. If you have a theme developer they can go into the theme file and change the WordPress footer credit that way.
The other option is to install a WordPress plugin. I am not a fan of this solution because a plugin will add to your WordPress site load time and make the site slower. No one wants to use a slow site.
As always, we start at the WordPress dashboard. Then, from the you go to “Appearance,”
and click “Editor.” Next, click “Template Parts.” One template part is footer, click on “Footer.” On the Footer Template Page, you click on the elements that you want to change.
You don't have to delete “Powered by WordPress,” On my WordPress footer link, I changed it to say “Powered by Smashing Themes," my own website.
okay now let's check every page and see what that looks like so pages privacy policy i'm going to view that page and yeah it just says “Powered by Smashing Themes," at the bottom so that checks out then the sample page the sample page was the one we were given and it says “Powered by Smashing Themes," so that is how you remove um the powered by WordPress footer in the page in the the latest version of WordPress thank you for listening i've been teasing the fact that i was going to show you how to import um products into WordPress from other um e-commerce platforms so uh hopefully i will do that soon thank you for listening have a nice day bye
