    For some reason, possibly because I checked a box a while ago to give permission, every page of my website http://juliedawnfox.com/ now has a line of text at the bottom: Performance Optimization WordPress Plugins by W3 EDGE which links to W3 Edge.

    I don’t normally mind but I’m trying to create a landing page and the plugin I’m using keeps finding and inserting this text, which I really don’t want on my landing page.

    How can I find and disable it? In very simple terms – I know next to nothing about html.

    Same problem here http://altfeldestiri.ro/

    It looks bad, i want to move it in the footer wrapper at least.

    Edit: As a side note, when Edge mode is active, the plugin “News bar” stops displaying the latest news if you use your site rss feed but works with a feedburner rss link.

    On the Performance dashboard there is a box called Spread the Word. Deselect link. And the footer link has gone.

    This is not enough, because if you press “Ctrl+U” in your browser you’ll notice that the same W3 Total link but commented in HTML <!– –>
    To avoid this problem you need to add this function to your Theme functions.php

    // Disable W3TC footer comment for all users
    add_filter( ‘w3tc_can_print_comment’, function( $w3tc_setting ) { return false; }, 10, 1 );
