Removing/Changing Footer Information in WordPress Atahualpa Theme

In your newly created  or old website wherein you downloaded the Atahualpa theme you might be looking how to remove this line in the footer

Powered by WordPress & the Atahualpa Theme by BytesForAll

can you remove it? Yes you can. but read these comments first by the people using this theme before doing so.

Personally I'm happy to leave it there as a mark of appreciation for the work that Flynn has done and continues to do. The more people who use this theme and donate, the more work Flynn can do to make it even better.

I fully agree. If your site is a non-commercial site, what harm is there in crediting the tools? You will actually be helping yourself by leaving them. The support that those links attracts can only help improve the tools.

Of course if your web site is commercial, the tools are a distraction that you will want to remove. In which case, the least you can do is give the developer a few bucks.

This theme is obviously the work of hundreds of hours. The quality is high. The creativity is immeasurable.

I don't want to remove those lines. The word "Powered by WordPress & the Atahualpa Theme" is alright with me, its a credit to the authors and developers but with that continuation "by BytesForAll"  – its an already an advertisement. Remember that those three words are linked to an external website making your website leaks some PageRank to them, as a new website for you to preserve your PR to your  own pages you should not leak PR to them. So? use a No Follow Tags. More about No Follow Tags Here.

 

Because i don't recommend you to remove the footer i suggest then how you can modify it. here are the steps.

  • Go to your  WordPress Admin. Click on Editor under Appearance.
  • In the Edit Themes Page, select "Theme Functions"(functions.php) on the right side of the screen.
  • Find similar codes. Not exactly these codes as you can see its my own modified codes. For faster find click in your browser "edit" then click "find" then type this letters in the box "function footer_output" then click next. Check if my code is similar to your code. You can edit that part on your own by trial and error, remember to backup first before doing so.

function footer_output($footer_content) {
    $footer_content .= '<br />Powered by <a href="http://wordpress.org/" "rel=nofollow">WordPress</a> &amp;The <a href="http://wordpress.bytesforall.com/" "rel=nofollow" title="Customizable WordPress themes">Atahualpa Theme</a>';
    return $footer_content;

Here's how it looks like…
