   You'll need to edit your footer.php file. You can do this by either using the built-in editor under Appearance > Editor or by FTP. Once you have the footer.php file open, look for the text you mentioned. It'll probably be close to the end of the file.

   It probably looks something like this:
   <p>Powered by <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a> and WordPress Theme created with <a href="http://somedomain.com">Artisteer</a>.

   <?php
   $content = ob_get_clean();
   echo art_parse_template(art_page_template(), art_page_variables(array('content'=>

   $content)));
   ?>
   <div id="wp-footer">
   <?php wp_footer(); ?>
   <!-- <?php printf(__('%d queries. %s seconds.', THEME_NS),

   get_num_queries(), timer_stop(0, 3)); ?> -->
   </div>
   </body>
   </html>

   However a change to footer.php may constitute a change to your theme -- so if (or when) your theme gets an update, your changes could be lost. You don't have to dig very far to read advice that a better approach is to create a child theme, then put a footer.php into that and make your changes there instead.

   Hello sir,

   Is there any way of modifying the link without creating a child theme?

   Thanks

   Eridout is right. It's better to use the child theme method, especially if you plan on updating your theme in the future.

   You don't have to use a child theme; it's just that in the long run it will save you some time. Read this article - it should help.
