How to remove Proudly powered by WordPress from Twenty Eleven theme?

If you liked this article, you may also like:


Since WordPress 3.2 has been released, I have received few emails and lots of search traffic asking for how to remove “Proudly powered by WordPress” from its new default theme Twenty Eleven.

Procedures are almost same as we did for Twenty Ten theme.

  1. Log in to your dashboard and go to Appearance > Editor.
  2. Select the footer.php file from Templates column.
  3. Now find the following piece of code between <div id="site-generator"> and <div id="site-generator"> tags.
  4. 1
    2
    3
    
    <?php do_action( 'twentyeleven_credits' ); ?>
    <a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'http://wordpress.org/', 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'twentyeleven' ); ?>" rel="generator">
    <?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'twentyeleven' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
  5. Remove the code, press Update File button to save the changes.

Once the code is removed, you can place your links, copyright message and other information between the tags.

Regards,
Jinnat Ul Hasan

Very helpful. Thank you.
Do you know how to add a Copyright notice in its place for the Twenty Eleven theme?
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks for the tip, Jinnat. I used the snippet in a blog post to explain how to Implement and customise a Twenty Eleven child theme: http://noseyparka.me.uk/2012/01/12/implement-and-customise-a-twenty-eleven-child-theme/

How do to modify the copyright without deleting in the footer by using an action hook then?

No hook can give you a nice footer customization for Twenty Eleven theme. Instead you should edit the footer.php file to remove the existing footer and add your own customization.

If you are using Child Theme, you should edit and save the footer.php file to child theme folder.

You can add your own stuff to the footer just calling add_action for twentyeleven_credits, but that won’t remove any existing stuff.

It works! But only for all other pages except the Home/Main page, it’s still there.. :(
Any ideas why it still shows up on the Main page?
