Remove “proudly powered by wordpress”
How to delete or remove twenty ten “proudly powered by wordpress” link in your wordpress 3 footer.
I have noticed some people want to know how to remove this link from their footers especially if they use twenty ten default theme. Removing this link is allowed, however that’s the only way how wordpress as a great free blogging software advertising their links, which are not bad.
But if you really want to remove this footer link, you can follow the following tutorial. It is more complicated than in kubrick theme, but it is also not difficult.
Steps to remove proudly powered by wordpress, including the small icon:
1. In your dashboard, go to “Appearance”, then “Editor”.
2. Look for footer file, which is footer.php, click this link.
3. This will open your Twenty Ten’s footer.php file, scroll down and find this line of code:
<?php printf( __('Proudly powered by %s.', 'twentyten'), 'WordPress' ); ?>
4. Delete that code, and click “Update File”.
Note: For some of you, who might find links for “Install wordpress webhosting” (see image), those links are provided by your webhosting provider, they can be disabled by deactivate their plugins, in Dashboard/plugins. If you can’t find the plugin, contact your host.
