Do you want to get rid of the WordPress powered footer links on your site? One of our readers recently inquired about removing footer credits from WordPress themes. We’ll show you how to remove the powered by WordPress footer links from your themes in this article.
The “Proudly powered by WordPress” link is displayed in the footer area of default WordPress themes. Many theme authors go even further and include their own credits, such as “Powered by WordPress.” “Company Z” created the theme.
However, if you’re running a business website, it’s pointless to display these credits. Some even believe it gives your website an amateurish appearance.
Is it allowed to delete credit links from the WordPress footer?
This is a frequently asked question. Yes, removing the footer credits link from your WordPress site is perfectly legal.
WordPress is open-source software that is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
In a nutshell, that licence allows you to use, modify, and redistribute WordPress. Most commercial WordPress themes, as well as any WordPress theme or plugin downloaded from the official WordPress.org directory, are released under the same licence.
So you have complete control over your website, including the ability to remove the footer credit links.
Let’s look at how to eliminate these credit links from your WordPress footer by customising it.

WordPress Powered by Links are being removed.
There are other methods for removing the WordPress footer credit links, but we only advocate the three methods below.
The Theme Configuration Page
The majority of competent theme authors are aware that their consumers want the ability to delete footer credit links. That’s why they’ve included it in their theme options.
This option is available in different sections of different themes. However, the WordPress theme customizer (Appearance » Customize) is a good place to start.
The Astra theme, for example, allows users to alter the footer text and deactivate the credit links.
Other places to explore are the settings pages for particular themes or the Widgets section.
Footer.php is a PHP file that is used to create a footer.
If your theme doesn’t include a way to alter or remove footer credits via the WordPress admin, you can edit the footer.php code instead.
We recommend making a backup of your website’s code before making any changes to it, so you can restore it if something goes wrong.
Also, bear in mind that any modifications you make to your theme’s files will be lost if you update or switch themes. This article will show you how to change your theme without losing your settings.
The footer.php file is located in the theme folder. For example, /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/footer.php (instead of “yourtheme,” look for your current theme name).
