Remove ‘Proudly Powerd By WordPress’
When starting with a new wordpress site the footer containts ‘Proudly Powered By WordPress’. If you want to your side to look more professional, of rather link to another site then WordPress you need to change this in the footer.php.
I used to edit this using a FTP program as Filezilla. But nowadays you can edit this from the WordPress Admin it self.
Changing the footer.php
Warning: since you're editing a .php file, messing this up can cause your site to crash. So make sure you have a backup (in this case of the original footer.php) so you can restore it to the original state
In wp-admin you may go to appearance->editor-> under templates select your used template->click on footer.php
Replace the text (found after printf statment) as you like. Don’t forget also to change the link (found after esc_url) and the hover text (found afther esc_attr_e)
UPDATE:
If you have Jetpack installed and activated the Custom CSS option, this is an easy way to remove the site info section:
Add this to the Custom CSS (appearance -> edit CSS)
/*- remove proudly powered by wordpress -*/
.site-info {
display: none;
}
Enjoy.
This truly demonstrates that you can still find people who care about the things they post on the internet. I actually loved browsing the comments.
Marvelous, what a webpage it is! This web site gives valuable facts to us,

Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate

also really good.
None of the other postings I’ve come across are like this one. You are able to tell much work went into this.
That is a good tip particularly to those fresh to the blogosphere.
Short but very precise information… Thanks for sharing this one.
