You should find the code that calls that text in your theme’s footer.php file.
This is the footer.php file:
[please use the ‘code’ button to mark any code posted directly; in future, please use the pastebin for any code longer than 10 lines]
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<span class="text">
<?php
$blog_name = '<a href="'.get_bloginfo('url').'">'.get_bloginfo('name').'</a>';
printf(__('Copyright %s %s %s · Powered by %s ','lightword'),'©',date('Y'),$blog_name,'<a href="http://www.ww.wp.xz.cn" title="WordPress">WordPress</a>')
;?>
<?php _e('<a href="http://www.lightword-design.com/" title="Lightword Theme">Lightword Theme</a> by Andrei Luca','lightword')
;?>
<?php global $lw_footer_content; echo $lw_footer_content; ?>
<a>" class="top" href="#top"><?php _e('Go to top','lightword'); ?> ↑</a>
</span>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/js/menu.js"></script>
</div>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
———————————————————————–What line or part i need to modify?
Everything between, and including, the <span> and </span> tags.
You need to delete this line
<?php _e('Lightword Theme by Andrei Luca','lightword');?>
to get rid of the author credit
[ETA: or what the last poster said]
Here’s another thought – since the theme developer has gone to a lot of trouble creating this theme for you to use, why deny him his credit completely… why not just hide it?
If you add this to your CSS:
#footer span.text { display: none; }
the credit will be gone from the page, but will still be included in the HTML. Everyone’s happy then!
True, that’s a proper attribution for their work.
