   Hello. I'd like not to remove the wording "Proudly powered by WordPress" completely (delete lines 24-27 if the footer.php in my twentyeleven-child theme), but to play a bit with its color and location. For example, set color ##009900 (green) and align it left or right. How can I change margins and color? Thanks.

   edit style.css, and change the css of:

   #site-generator and #site-generator a

   Thanks. Very simple indeed. The name "site-generator" confuses

   Does this mean if I copy the twentyeleven footer.php file into my child theme folder and then edit this to remove 'proudly powered by...' it will remove it? Or, do I need to add any other file to my child theme folder? Thanks!

   you don't need to move footer.php - simply adding

   #site-generator{display: none;}

   to style.css of your child theme should work.

   What if instead of removing it, I want to modify it? How should it be done?

   to edit any file in a child theme, copy it form the parent theme, save it in the child theme and edit it there (excludes functions.php which is different)

   But then when the parent is modified, the child copy will remain the same... Not very optimal, isn't it?

    which bit exactly of the twenty eleven footer.php do i need to copy and paste into my child theme's style.css and which part/s of that do i need to modify in order to delete 'proudly powered by wordpress'.

    thanks!

    @ejosborne:

    IF you just want to make the 'proudly powered by...' dissappear - then all you have to do, I believe, is copy the following code into your styles.css:

    #site-generator{display: none;}

    Actually -- it IS optimal and the very purpose of creating a child theme. You should never modify the parent template files.
