    Hi,

    is there any way to change the footer links in Edin theme (Proudly powered by WordPress | Theme: Edin von WordPress.com.) without copying the whole footer.php file from my parent theme into the child theme folder but, instead, with e.g. a filter in my function.php of the child theme?

    I found this “filter solution” in the following old thread here but, obviously, it isn’t working on the Edin theme…

    Thanks for any suggestion!

    Since Edin doesn’t use a function to output the footer credits – unlike the theme in the other thread you pointed to – I don’t think it’s possible to use a function to remove it.

    If you’d just like to remove the footer credits completely, you could hide it with some custom CSS in your child theme, or using a custom CSS plugin like the module included in Jetpack.

    This should do it:

    .site-info {
 display: none;
}

    Thanks Kathryn anyway!

    Since the Edin footer.php is pretty lean and I haven’t been able to find any other solution to show different footer links, I moved forward and did a copy of the file for the Child Theme and changed there the links directly…

    Kathryn, I have a similar question concerning the footer in Harmonic theme. From my poor php knowlegde I would say that, in contrary to the Edin footer, there is a function in use.

    I opened a new thread and I would be really glad if you could have a look over there too:

    Thanks a lot!
