To remove this “Powered by WordPress” from the footer is quite easy. For best practice I suggest you create a child theme first. If you don’t you will loose the changes whenever you update your theme. A client called me to make this simple change for his new website about Latin America Coffee.
I put together these simple steps. Let me know what you think. You can always contact me if you have any questions.
To remove the footer from the Twenty Twenty-One theme in WordPress, you can modify the theme files. Here’s how you can do it:
- Access your WordPress installation files via FTP, SSH or use a file manager provided by your hosting provider.
- Navigate to the directory
wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/. - Locate the
footer.phpfile within the Twenty Twenty-One theme folder. - Open the
footer.phpfile in a text editor. - Find the section of code that represents the footer content. It typically starts with
<div class="powered by">or something similar. - Delete or comment out the code for the footer content that you want to remove. You can remove the entire section of code related to the footer or make any changes you like.
- Save the changes to the
footer.phpfile.
After following these steps, the footer content should be removed from your Twenty Twenty-One theme.
Remember, always have a backup of your files just in case. I will keep coding with coffee until I die. Thanks!
