Proudly Powered By WordPress Twenty Fourteen

Last updated on February 18, 2017

This post is about how to edit or remove Proudly Powered By WordPress Twenty Fourteen child theme in your footer, see another tips of this default theme, about removing left sidebar here. It should work with any themes.

I have noticed some people want to know how to remove powered by wordpress link from their footers especially if they use Twenty Fourteen default theme.

Removing this link is allowed, however that’s the only way we can give WordPress appreciation as it’s a free great blogging platform or software, so leaving their link isn’t bad, however removing or editing it is also allowed.

The drawback of having this Proudly Powered By WordPress link is like enabling spammers to easily find blogs powered by WordPress including, our sites. They do have software that can detect our page source like “Proudly Powered by WordPress” in they keywords, and will display any sites that have this link.

I do have this software too, that’s why I know how it works.

But if you really want to remove this footer link, you can follow the following tutorial.

It is not difficult. If you watch the video, I actually don’t entirely remove the powered by wordpress footer text, but I do change Proudly Powered by WordPress text with “built with WordPress” excuse my bad english with “built in” stuff.

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.

Additional links from your webhost.

How To Style WordPress Caption in WP Twenty Fourteen Child

What you need to prepare to follow this tutorial

1. Creating Child theme of Twenty Fourteen, so when next time the Twenty Fourteen is updated by WordPress.org your modification won’t be gone, check this page out if you want to create one.
2. Accesing your folders and files either by loggin into cPanel, or using any FTP client which is faster and easier, follow this guide first to configure one.

Steps to remove proudly powered by wordpress, in Twenty Fourteen Child theme:

1. Access your Twenty Fourteen child theme folder, in this tutorial, I am using FileZilla, so I connected to my server with it.

It’s inside wp-content, themes, and then the folder, mine is called, “twentyfourteenchild” folder.

Where child theme folder is
Where child theme folder is

2. Then copy the footer.php from the original or parent theme, Twenty Fourteen, you could upload it or create new file inside your child theme folder, name it, as footer.php, and copy the content of original footer.php into your child theme’s footer.php.

In this video, I copied from wordpress dashboard, so in your dashboard (yourdomain.com/wp-admin), go to “Appearance”, then “Editor”. Be sure it’s “Twenty Fourteen” on the top, and look for footer.php, click it, and copy the content to your child theme’s footer.php.

So this is how the default footer.php’s content looks like:

<?php do_action( 'twentyfourteen_credits' ); ?>
				<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'http://wordpress.org/', 'twentyfourteen' ) ); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'twentyfourteen' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>

4. To remove Proudly Powered By WordPress in Twenty Fourteen, delete above code, and replace it with this code, and don’t forget to save and re-upload your file.

Copyright &copy; <?php echo date ('Y');?>
 <a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>

    There is no space between the year and my Blog’s name. What do I need to change in order to correct this?

      Hi Josh,

      Did you press “Enter” key after the

      Copyright &copy; <?php echo date ('Y');?>

      code?

      I did put the blog name after hit enter key, in this part of the video: http://youtu.be/pTZzw5wHMos?t=5m49s

      Once you did it, refresh your page and clean browser’s cache if it’s necessary.

      Let me know if it helps

      Kindly Kim.

        Yes, I did. Same problem. Check out my blog.

        blog.joshuamunoz.com

        Here is the code:

        Copyright ©
        <a href="” rel=”home”>


        • Kim Muellner says

          June 21, 2014 at 6:33 pm

          Would you paste the code from footer.php of the child theme in http://pastebin.com/, and give me the URL so I can check the code please?

      Josh, would you hit “space” key exactly before this

      <a href=">?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home">>?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>

      • Josh says

        June 21, 2014 at 6:45 pm

        That did it! How can I change it so I can manually enter the year and the ‘blog name’? Ideally, it would be:

        Copyright © 2013–(whatever the year is) Joshua Munoz – Margin of Error

        • Kim Muellner says

          June 21, 2014 at 6:48 pm

          Then you should replace the existing code to:

          Copyright &copy; 2013 - <?php echo date ('Y');?>
           Joshua Munoz – <a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>

      Josh, Are my codes invisible? 🙁 I paste in my previous comment though.

        Sweet! How about Joshua Munoz/Margin of Error, like that, instead of Joshua Munoz – Margin of Error

        • Kim Muellner says

          June 21, 2014 at 7:01 pm

    Thank you for this post! I’m a total noob in HTML, PHP, etc. So, your post is very helpful for me. This “powered by” sign destructed appearance of my site so much. Now everything is clean and beatyful 🙂
