 * Hi all,
 * Is there a php function which I could include in the functions.php file and replace
   the contents of a div with a class?
 * Thanks you!

 * A class is not content, so what are you really trying to accomplish?

 * How is that div created? You can’t change the content via CSS.

 * The proper way, if your theme does not have an option to do so internally, is
   to create a [child theme](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/)
   and replace/modify the PHP file(s) that output the statement.
 * What theme are you using?

 * I am using [https://wordpress.org/themes/calliope/](https://wordpress.org/themes/calliope/)
 * it is already a child theme of Colibri WP.
 * I would like to remove the footer credit but remain the copyright statement.
 * Any idea?

   so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.
